Job Description

Nen Creative partners with tech startups to launch bold ideas into the world, creating the brands, products, and stories that fuel their growth. Since 2022, we’ve partnered with some of the world’s top founders and institutions, and we’re growing fast. We are looking for a freelance Motion Designer to help bring our clients’ biggest ideas to life in motion.

This is a project-based engagement that is fully remote, with the flexibility to scale hours up or down as project needs shift. The Motion Designer will work on launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns, involving 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation. You’ll take creative direction from our team and contribute your own ideas while owning your work from concept through final delivery.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving studio, requiring strong fundamentals, sharp visual instincts, and a creative approach.

What You’ll Do

• Design and animate motion work across launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns.
• Create work from concept through final delivery across 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation.
• Translate creative direction and storyboards into compelling motion that aligns with the intended tone, pacing, and feel.
• Collaborate closely with producers, editors, designers, and directors to bring ideas to life.
• Iterate quickly on feedback from creative leads and clients while maintaining craft.
• Balance speed and quality while managing multiple projects and deadlines.
• Push work beyond the obvious, showcasing strong taste, attention to detail, and a desire to refine work until it feels exceptional.

What We’re Looking For

• 3 to 5 years of experience as a motion designer, ideally within a studio, agency, or in-house creative team.
• A strong reel that demonstrates range across product and UI motion, brand work, and edit-driven animation.
• Expertise in After Effects; familiarity with Figma and DaVinci Resolve.
• Strong visual design fundamentals — type, layout, color, composition, timing.
• A distinct point of view on motion, including easing, transitions, and restraint, with the ability to articulate your design decisions.
• Comfort with taking feedback and iterating quickly without losing momentum.
• Experience in studio, agency, or fast-moving startup environments.
