Midweight Motion Designer

This Leeds digital agency is building an in-house animation and motion capability from close to scratch. Not a support function stitched onto media buying, but a creative offer the agency intends to sell as a genuine product to clients. You’d be the person who makes that credible: the one who lets the team say “we can do that in-house” and mean it.

The person leading this build is a multidisciplinary designer whose own strongest suit isn’t motion. That’s the point. They want a partner who owns animation outright, and someone they can learn from in return.

The Role
You’ll lead motion graphics and animation from brief to delivery, working independently on concepts and staying close to leadership as the department takes shape. The creative team is being spun into a standalone profit-centre, so you’re not executing inside an established system; you’re helping decide how it operates. 

Work spans education, property, recruitment, government, automotive and travel. Your toolkit: After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator. 3D, print or videography are a bonus.

The Package
£35,000 – £38,000 
Hybrid working
Company bonus scheme
Private healthcare with discounted gym membership
24 days annual leave, company pension, Perkbox, cycle-to-work

The Person
You’re a Midweight Designer who leads with motion, confident enough to be the go-to animator, capable across static too. You’ve run briefs start to finish, developed concepts across channels, and you want your role to grow beyond production into shaping direction. A distinct background the team can learn from matters more than a perfect CV.
