We are seeking a Digital & Motion Designer on the Performance Creative team, who will report to the Director of Creative Operations & Production. You will support the concepting, design, animation, and production of high-performing paid digital creative and client-facing presentations. This role focuses on translating creative strategy into compelling visual assets, developing motion and static creative across multiple platforms, and delivering polished work that drives performance while maintaining brand consistency.

You are detail-oriented, collaborative, and energized by creating impactful work in a fast-paced environment, thriving at the intersection of design, motion, and performance marketing. We're looking for someone who wants to become a trusted creative partner, contributing both conceptual thinking and hands-on execution to elevate our digital campaigns, rather than someone primarily focused on traditional brand, print, or long-form creative work.
