Motion Graphics Designer

Hey 👋 

I am Lucas, Design Team Lead at Hey Digital, and I am super excited to let you know that we're looking for an Motion Graphic Designer to join our team! 

Hey Digital is a B2B SaaS Performance Marketing Agency that has partnered with some of the hottest companies in the industry like PostHog, Hotjar, Toggl and Pitch (to name a few). We also run Hey Design, our new subscription-based design service, delivering world-class designs to companies like Instantly, Kilo Code and Aikido.

We have an incredible, fully remote team (20 countries and counting!) of Performance Marketers, Designers, Project Managers and hopefully... you? 😉

This role is perfect for you if:
✅ You have 2+ years of hands-on video/motion animation experience with a reel showing finished short-form ads or social motion work, not just transition showreels
✅ You're looking for a full-time, remote position with a salary range of €1500 to €2500 per month.
✅ You're comfortable with a continuous independent contractor agreement (not an employment contract or EOR).
✅ You have concrete experience with AI video-generation tools (Higgsfield, Veo, Runway, or similar)
✅ You love the idea of working with people from all over the world.
✅ You have what it takes to be part of a team delivering a world-class service to top-tier clients.

About the role

🦸 Responsibilities:

• Animate video ads and motion graphics for paid social, landing pages, and digital campaigns

• Turn briefs and static designs into finished, on-brand animated assets

• Nail the first 3 seconds of every video so it stops the scroll (motion from frame one, works with sound off, hook up front)

• Animate in After Effects when the work needs full control over timing, movement, and effects

• Use AI video-generation tools (Higgsfield, Veo, and similar) to speed up production and create new kinds of motion

• Experiment with newer tools like Figma Motion and Jitter to find faster ways to produce and export work

• Export platform-ready files that hit the right specs (dimensions, frame rates, file size, format)

• Keep files clean and well-organized so anyone can pick them up and iterate later

• General design admin work such as exporting assets, organising files in Google Drive, and keeping ClickUp up to date.

• Take feedback and turn around revisions quickly

📌 Requirements:

• 2+ years of hands-on video/motion animation experience

• Demonstrates advanced After Effects skill through the work shown or described (timing, easing, effects, clean execution)

• Experience with AI video-generation tools

• Reel or answers show a strong instinct for hooks and pacing, especially in the opening seconds of a video

• Communicates clearly and works self-directed, with evidence of hitting deadlines in a fast-paced or agency setting

• Great attention to detail and understanding of design principles (e.g. unity, alignment, hierarchy, emphasis, contrast, balance, spacing/negative space, margin & padding)

• Excellent English communication skills, as you will be working with people from around the globe.

• Reliable WiFi connection, as all work will be carried out remotely

⭐️ Really nice-to-haves:

• Experience with ClickUp & Slack.

• Ability and excitement to use AI to deliver faster, better results.

• You have worked in a digital marketing agency.

• Experience with newer motion tools like Figma Motion and Jitter (or a track record of picking up unfamiliar tools fast)

• Basic design skills in Figma, enough to prep or tweak assets before animating

• Some 3D or Cinema 4D / Blender experience for adding depth and variety to motion work

• A sense for what makes ads convert, not just what looks good

• Sound design or music-syncing chops for the videos that get unmuted
