## Job description

As a Motion Designer for our client, you will be a visual storyteller responsible for bringing our clients’ stories to life through video. We make videos for mission-driven organizations, and we get to tell their stories: lives saved, slaves freed, healing found, and hope restored. You will take high-level concepts and turn them into motion work that moves people to action, across a wide range of brands and campaigns.

This role requires a unique blend of creative vision, technical skill in After Effects and motion tools, and the speed and organization to deliver high-quality work across multiple client brands at once, often on tight timelines.

Core Responsibilities

- Art direct in certain scenarios, guiding the visual approach for a project or campaign.
- Independently bring fresh new ideas to client work.
- Plan and prioritize a large number of concurrent projects under deadline pressure.
- Figure out things you’ve never done before and troubleshoot quickly when problems come up.
- Be scrappy with resources to deliver high-quality work on tight timelines.
- Take in constructive feedback and revise work quickly and well.

What Success Looks Like

- Motion work is delivered on schedule, on brand, and ready for client review with minimal rounds of revision.
- Clients and internal teams see your work move audiences to action and raise the creative standard across accounts.

Required

- 2+ years of commercial agency experience.
- Proficiency in After Effects
- Fast and good: high-quality output at a high pace.
- A digital-native mindset and a passion for solving design problems.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities at once.
- Handles constructive criticism well.

## Preferred

- **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped/Corporate Round funding)
- **Headquarters**: Joplin, Missouri, United States
- **Founded**: 2012
- **Founders**: Matt Johnson (CEO/Owner)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Software Development, Talent & Staffing, Technology Consulting
- Target customers: Growing tech companies (from Fortune 500 to early-stage startups) that need to move fast without building everything in-house
- Mission or purpose statement: "We complete work with purpose and precision. We lead with humility, drive, and wisdom. We take care of what is entrusted to us, including time, budget, relationships, and trust."

## Products & Services
- **Embedded Teams**: Top-tier talent that integrates seamlessly with a client's team, providing specialized expertise that scales with the vision while maintaining flexibility as priorities shift.
- **Scoped Projects**: Time-defined project teams with clear objectives and predictable costs, covering Discovery, MVPs, technical validation, brand development, and more.
- **Recruiting Services**: Full-cycle talent acquisition for direct placement, contract-to-hire, or embedded recruiters, finding hidden talent aligned with technical needs and company culture.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available

- **Growth Signals**: 38.3% LinkedIn follower growth (yearly); expanding headcount with 12 new hires in the last year; multiple office locations across the US and Brazil

## Competitive Advantages

- **Notable perks**: Opportunity to work on impactful products that have raised over $450M; exposure to a wide range of clients from startups to Fortune 500; clear career progression paths.
- **Engineering culture**: 39% of staff are in technical roles (47 people), with strong seniority distribution (26% specialist, 16% other management, 12% manager, 9% senior). Team members come from diverse backgrounds including DevMountain, Jack Henry, Leggett & Platt, and Gloo.
- **Growth opportunities**: 11% yearly headcount growth indicates a scaling organization with upward mobility for high performers.
