About KK Explainers

We are a remote-first explainer video studio crafting clear, engaging, and visually compelling stories for brands across industries. Our work lives at the intersection of strategy, design, and motion — and we're growing our creative team.

The Role

We're looking for a creative all-rounder who can take a concept from rough sketch to polished animation. If you think in frames, feel comfortable building storyboards before jumping into After Effects, and love bringing ideas to life through motion, this role is built for you.

You'll work closely with our creative lead on explainer videos, brand narratives, and motion content for clients ranging from startups to established brands.

What You'll Do

  • Develop storyboards and visual scripts from creative briefs
  • Design and animate explainer videos and motion graphics
  • Create character layouts, scene compositions, and visual flows
  • Collaborate with the team to refine concepts before production
  • Deliver polished, client-ready animations independently
  • Iterate based on feedback quickly and efficiently

What We're Looking For

  • 0–3 years of experience (freshers with a strong portfolio are welcome)
  • Solid understanding of motion principles, timing, and visual storytelling
  • Ability to sketch or digitally board a concept before animating
  • A clean, detail-oriented design sensibility
  • Self-driven, able to manage timelines remotely

Tools You Should Know

  • After Effects (must-have)
  • Adobe Illustrator
  • Figma

What We Offer

  • Fully remote — work from anywhere
  • Commission-based compensation
  • Creative freedom and ownership over your work
  • Opportunity to grow with a focused, passionate studio

To Apply

Send an email to connect@kk-explainers.com with:

  • Your portfolio or reel (link preferred)
  • A short intro about yourself
  • Your experience level and tools you use
  • DMs are open too. We review every application personally.
