Squarespace is powered by design. We offer an environment where ideas can come from anywhere and execution is everything. We are looking for a Senior Motion Designer to bring our products and brand to life through animations, prototypes, and videos. You have conceptual design skills and the ability to tell compelling stories through motion.

You respect the details, have a passion for the power of design, and an understanding of how one affects the other. You’re always learning and mastering new tools as a means to work towards your creative vision. You have knowledge in a wide array of technologies, techniques, and applications, with an expertise in one or two specialties. While you spend most of your time working in motion, your passion for design inspires you to create polished final products from a rough initial direction.

You will report to the Senior Design Manager in our New York office.

  • Collaborate with designers and other engineers to incorporate animations and prototypes into production.
  • You foresee design and motion trends to keep Squarespace at the forefront of design for web.
  • Work both autonomously and collaboratively with cross-discipline teams.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Portfolio of shipped work that shows motion as part of UI and UX experience.
  • You are an expert in After Effects.
  • 3D skills in Cinema 4D or the like are a bonus.
  • Have a passion for telling stories through motion, including storyboarding, editing footage, and motion graphics/animation.
  • Have an eye for detailed design and can execute against a variety of aesthetics.
  • Create animations for advertising/marketing work across several platforms (digital, social media, etc).
  • 5+ years of experience.

A portfolio of relevant work is required for consideration.
