• Develop motion concepts from brief to final execution, including storyboarding, animation, editing, sound, and delivery.

• Create product and feature animations that make complex financial products and user journeys easier to understand.

• Adapt creative concepts into multiple formats, sizes, and platforms while maintaining visual consistency.

• Contribute to the evolution of Pesa’s motion language, helping define how the brand moves and behaves across different touchpoints.

• Participate in creative brainstorming and bring fresh ideas, references, trends, and visual approaches to the team.

• Manage multiple creative projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and meeting deadlines.

• Ensure all motion work follows Pesa’s brand guidelines and maintains a consistent visual identity.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

• Strong understanding of brand consistency and how visual design can support brand positioning.

• Ability to work quickly and adapt creatively for different audiences, formats, and channels.
