Role Description
As the Sr. Motion Designer on the AlphaSense Brand & Creative team, you will be the bridge between high-end cinematic motion and the future of AI-driven production. You aren't just an animator; you are a creative architect. You’ll be responsible for defining & executing the visual language of our brand in motion—from product UI reveals to high-concept brand films—while simultaneously building the repeatable, AI-augmented workflows that allow our team to scale.
This role is equal parts "craft" and "innovation." You will spend your time in the timeline (After Effects, C4D) and in the laboratory (ComfyUI, RunWay, Midjourney), finding ways to marry traditional motion excellence with emerging generative tools. Your goal is to ensure AlphaSense doesn't just keep up with the pace of AI, but leads the industry in how it’s applied to world-class brand storytelling.
Qualifications
- A Master of Motion: 8+ years of experience in motion graphics and animation, with a portfolio that shows a deep understanding of timing, physics, typography, and storytelling.
- Product Animation Expert: Deep experience animating SaaS and complex UI systems — from feature reveals to full product narratives.
- Systems Thinker: Experience building MOGRTs, scripts, or automated pipelines that empower other designers.
- Technical Polyglot: Expert in After Effects and the Adobe Suite; familiarity with 3D (C4D/Blender) and Houdini is a plus.
- Product Design Fluency: Comfortable working in Figma and collaborating directly with Product Designers.
- AI-Native: Actively experimenting with tools like Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Runway Gen-3, or Luma.
- Strategic Maker: Ability to turn complex abstract concepts into visual metaphors.
- Adaptive & Scrappy: Thrives in the "grey area" of emerging tech.
Requirements
- Create high-fidelity motion graphics for brand campaigns, product launches, social channels, and executive keynotes.
- Design and implement repeatable animation systems that leverage AI to reduce manual "grunt work."
- Partner with Brand Leads to evolve the AlphaSense motion guidelines.
- Stay on the bleeding edge of creative technology and demo new tools and techniques.
- Work closely with Product Designers to translate software UI into marketing animations.
- Build a library of motion assets and templates for rapid iteration.
- Gain a thorough understanding of the AlphaSense platform and the broader B2B enterprise landscape.
Benefits
- Base Compensation Range: $116,000 — $160,000 USD.
- Performance-based bonus.
- Equity options.
- A generous benefits program.
