Job description

We’re Hook—an award-winning creative content agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team, and an emphasis on production-led design, we make ads, campaigns, and experiences that drive growth for the world’s most innovative brands.

Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster. But we believe what’s most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way. We want clients to think of us as the best agency they’ve ever worked with, and we want everyone at Hook to feel like this is the best job they’ve had yet.

What’s a Senior Motion Designer at Hook?

Senior Motion Designers are passionate animators who bring visuals and narratives to life through their expert knowledge of animation principles, their proficiency with motion design and video editing tools, and their ability to lead complex projects. They utilize their craft and inquisitive nature to elevate the motion work done at Hook, while always learning and growing their skills. While familiarity with 3D is a plus, this role is centered on high-level 2D motion design and design-driven storytelling.

Senior Motion Designers work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team, consisting of visual designers, producers and creatives. They use their motion expertise to help the team solve creative and technical challenges. On small projects they may be the sole motion designer while on larger projects they might provide guidance and oversight to additional animators.

Within the Motion Department, Senior Motion Designers are looked to as role models and standard-bearers for work-quality and professionalism. They actively participate in training and mentoring more junior designers, and they seek to build and uphold our growth-oriented culture.

As this client is based on the East Coast, this person must have the flexibility to work around EST hours.

What you’ll do

Collaborate with Design and Creative teams to deliver motion projects that exceed client expectations, offering an informed perspective on how motion can solve strategic brand challenges.

Partner with and oversee other motion designers on complex projects.

Leverage knowledge of 2D animation, editing and post-production tools (e.g., Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere) to consistently produce top-quality work.

Adapt quickly to evolving tools and workflows, contributing to scalable team processes.
