Lead Motion Designer & Editor

This is a motion role that sits inside one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent agencies: strategy, creative, production and technology under one roof, with a global client roster spanning FMCG giants, high-street retail names and major financial and technology brands. 

The work is edit-led, blended with CG, VFX and AI. The core of the job is knowing how those disciplines come together, and being the one who pulls the strings.

The Role
You’ll lead the motion and post-production department – this is a build brief as much as a craft one. You’ll set the workflow, own quality control properly, hire and mentor junior editors, and shape what this team becomes. Expect to flex: hands-on in the weeds on complex projects, then stepping back to orchestrate when volume ramps.

Ideation and storyboarding sit with the creative directors. This is the delivery end, done to a high standard, with real authority over how it’s done.

The Package
£50,000 – £60,000
Hybrid working
25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and your birthday off
Health cash plan and childcare salary sacrifice

The Person
You’re a Senior Motion or Post-production Specialist from a brand or retail background – agency or post house – genuinely hands-on across edit, CG and VFX. 

You might already lead a team, or you might be a strong senior ready for your first lead role. Either way, the non-negotiable is orchestration: the ability to bring disciplines together seamlessly. You care about QC and file structure, and you’re comfortable with AI-augmented workflows.
