Motion Designer

Your Role

As a Motion Designer at fonio, you own the entire production pipeline for video content, from pre-production through animation to post-production including sound design. You do all of this yourself.

You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage, and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website.

You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands off to post-production. We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound.

Your Responsibilitites

• Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings)

• Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats

• Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions

• Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing. You understand that sound is what brings product videos to life

• Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos

• Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why

• Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements)

Must-haves

• 1–3 years of experience in motion design and animation

• Native in After Effects. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint

• Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable)

• Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing, color, sound design), all in one person

• Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring videos to life

• Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight)

• Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion

• Fluent in English (as this is our business language)

Nice-to-have

• Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools

• Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

• Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.)

What We Offer

• €65,000–100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience)
