About the Position We are looking for an experienced animator to join our growing video production team. In this role, you will design and incorporate captivating animations into all aspects of our creative work, bringing abstract concepts to life with dimensional visual elements. You'll work on a variety of both internally- and externally-facing video projects, but also collaborate with designers and developers on assets for things like web pages, event displays, and more. We're looking for someone with a no-job-too-small attitude who is excited about all types of projects - from intricate video animations with hidden puzzle elements to motion graphics that demonstrate mathematical data.

You'll collaborate daily with not only other creatives like designers, web developers, and video editors, but with subject matter experts across the firm to make sure each animation hits the mark. You should be willing to step into any conversation eager to learn and ask targeted questions to take your designs to the next level. This position sits within our Creative Engagement team, a close-knit and nimble group that continues to grow alongside the firm. You will jump right into a variety of projects with little red tape and a quick feedback loop - an environment that really lets the creative process shine. A portfolio of work is required to apply. About You 4-5 years of experience producing motion graphics, design elements, comprehensive graphic packages, and animation Strong knowledge of 2D and 3D animation principles including timing, spacing, and easing, especially of keyframe animation and motion paths Basic graphic design knowledge about things like color theory, typography, and composition Understands how animation fits into the bigger picture of video production; background in editing is a plus Proven ability to visualize data, graphs, charts, and financial concepts Comfortable juggling multiple projects at once; can independently manage deadlines to deliver projects on time Holds an appreciation for "getting the little things right" Excellent organizational and file management skills Not afraid to ask questions and admit mistakes; can stay flexible if project requirements shift during the production process Communicates clearly with colleagues and external partners; enjoys learning from people of varied backgrounds Can think outside the box and respectfully challenge existing methods (i.e., are we taking the right approach?
