Who is HelloKindred?

HelloKindred are specialists in staffing marketing, creative and technology roles, offering a range of talent solutions that can be delivered on-site, remotely or hybrid.

Our vision is to make work accessible and people’s lives better. We do this by disrupting traditional employment barriers – connecting ambitious talent to flexible opportunities with trusted brands.

Job Description

Anticipated Contract End Date/Length: 12 months contract

Work Setup: Hybrid - 3 days per week in-office

We are seeking a Mid-Weight Motion & Video Designer to create, edit, and deliver engaging animations, motion graphics, and video content that enhance digital and marketing communications. This role suits a confident maker who owns their projects from brief through to final delivery, working independently across both motion design and video production to produce high-quality content that aligns with brand and messaging.

This position will operate within our Client's open and collaborative creative culture. This means all creative is shared early and often with the multi-disciplinary creative community. This will help ensure alignment and consistent evolution of our brand and holistic customer experiences.

What you will do:

  • Create and produce high-quality animations, motion graphics, and video content for various platforms, including web, social media, presentations, and events.
  • Own assigned motion and video projects independently, taking them from brief to final delivery and making day-to-day creative decisions within brand guidelines.
  • Take projects from concept through to completion, including storyboarding, design, editing, and post-production.
  • Develop storyboards and design concepts that align with project briefs and brand guidelines.
  • Incorporate graphics, titles, lower thirds, transitions, and other visual elements to elevate the overall production quality.
  • Collaborate with designers, marketers, copywriters, and other stakeholders to bring concepts to life through animation and video.
  • Generate innovative ideas and concepts for motion and video projects that capture the audience’s attention and effectively convey the intended message.
  • Work with the branding team to develop and maintain motion design templates and assets.
  • Ensure all motion and video content adheres to brand guidelines and maintains a consistent visual style.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring deadlines are met and deliverables are of the highest quality.
  • Communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders to provide updates on project progress and address any challenges.
  • Utilize industry-standard software such as Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and other relevant tools to create and edit motion content.
  • Maintain an organized library of motion graphics assets and project files.
  • Stay updated with the latest trends and techniques in motion design and video production.

Qualifications

  • Minimum of four years of experience in motion design and video production, or a similar role.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop) and other motion design software.
  • Strong portfolio showcasing a range of motion design and video projects.
  • Experience with Adobe Workfront is preferred.
  • Experience using AI for content and generative creation.
  • Excellent understanding of animation principles, storytelling, and visual composition.
  • Strong attention to detail and a keen eye for aesthetics.
  • Experience working within and contributing to a Brand Design System.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Familiarity with sound design and audio editing.
  • Possess an in-depth working knowledge of designing to meet accessibility standards, ensuring all creative experiences and data visualizations are inclusive and compliant.
  • Editor with motion experience or motion designer with editor experience is a plus (but not a dealbreaker) as is a motion designer with some 3d (ideally cinema4D) experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
