- Mentorship & Freelance Management: Review work, guide motion teams, set craft standards, and help onboard freelance talent.
- Drive High-Stakes Content: Build pitch sizzles, brand manifestos, and launch films that win clients—and hearts.
- Uphold the Craft: Champion a studio culture built around design-driven, emotionally resonant storytelling.
What You Bring
- 7+ years of experience in motion design, VFX, and editorial at a top creative studio, agency, or production company

- Advanced 3D motion capabilities in Cinema 4D or Blender
- Proven expertise in designing and executing VFX, compositing, and shot integration
- A portfolio that shows world-class timing, nuance of motion, cinematic storytelling, and digital extension
