Job Description

Hi! We’re The Heist, the production, post production and animation arm of Thinkingbox, a global creative collective shaping the future of brands through craft and curiosity. Our team brings together unique perspectives in production, design, technology, and creativity that push the boundaries for our clients to create work that is uniquely ours. We are a curious bunch that loves to think big, continuously learn, and create. We love our culture and the natural collaboration that happens in and around our five offices, engaging in activities like dog parties, happy hour Fridays, and team trips to Whistler. We maintain a vibrant work environment and encourage our people to explore the world for one month a year, whether working from another office or the beaches of Mexico, to expand their worldview before bringing that experience back to the team.

As a member of the animation team, you’ll have your hands and creative say on all things motion. Our diverse projects will push your creative boundaries as you work on designing looks and creating animations. Your tasks will range from sketch to animation on micro-content campaigns, designing 2D and 3D assets for AR apps, and motion designing for social media campaigns to short animated films, as well as bringing UI to life with motion for high-profile microsites or out-of-home activations.

Requirements

What You’ll be doing:

• 2D and 3D animation for platforms including web, social media, out-of-home activations, and standalone content.
• A willingness to learn new skills and software driven by your own curiosity.
• Keeping up to date with current design, visual art trends, and best practices.
• Accurately estimating time for assigned tasks.
• Adapting to project roadblocks with a solution-driven approach.

What You’ll bring:

• 0-2 years of experience at an agency or animation studio.
• Comfortable using the Adobe suite, especially After Effects.
• Demonstrated graphical 2D and 3D motion design skills in your portfolio.
• A demo reel or portfolio showcasing a well-rounded and nuanced motion portfolio.
• Ability to take direction and feedback.
• Ability to meet deadlines, work in a team, and also work independently.
• Experience using C4D, Blender, or Maya and Redshift is a big bonus.

At The Heist, we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength, as it fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions. We welcome and encourage applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to apply. Your voice matters here.
