About the Role

We’re looking for an exceptional Senior Motion Designer who can drive quality movement and interaction across Superhuman’s brand-in-product. We are looking for someone who not only understands AI motion tooling but equally understands how to develop the connection to the brand principles and feeling behind the movement.

You’ll develop Superhuman’s motion language — designing and delivering micro-interactions, UI transitions, product reveal moments, and brand animations that feel cohesive, intelligent, and distinctly Superhuman. And you’ll bring genuine, hands-on fluency as a part of your workflow.

Reporting to the Director of Design Foundations, you’ll partner closely with the Brand Experience team, product designers, engineers, and marketing. Your work will touch every product surface throughout the suite.

• Have 6+ years of motion design experience and an outstanding portfolio that demonstrates genuine mastery in UI/product animation and brand storytelling.
• Are expert-level in After Effects and have real experience with at least two prototyping/motion tools: Rive, Principle, Framer, Runway or Weave.
• Have strong Figma fluency, including Figma Motion, Smart Animate, and interactive component prototyping, and are comfortable navigating complex file structures.
• Understand how animations are implemented in code (Lottie, CSS, React Spring) and can work closely with engineers to close the gap between design intent and production reality.
• Have exceptional taste in timing, rhythm, easing, and the emotional quality of motion. You feel the difference between a great animation and a good one.
• Communicate your decisions with clarity and confidence. You can walk a non-designer through why a transition works and is on brand, or why it isn’t.
