Role Summary

As Senior Motion Designer, you will support our skilled team of designers, to deliver impactful and engaging video and animated content. Your role will be essential in translating complex scientific and medical communications into compelling stories that captivate and educate audiences.

You will be responsible for delivering video content for leading healthcare and pharma companies, with an extreme attention to detail and proficiency in a range of production outputs, including, but not limited to, storyboard development, animation, video editing and motion graphics.

You will be involved in multiple projects at any given time, working closely with other members of Evoke Galliard; this will involve taking briefs from multiple stakeholders, having direct contact with client teams and providing strong communication at all times.

Working at this level, you will be able to create an animation sequence against a creative brief. For example, by manipulating footage and design elements to create an entire end to end main title sequence for a show that strategically addresses the objectives stated in the brief. You should be able to conceive and pitch of multiple compelling ideas against a brief and consistently sell through and execute those ideas. You will be a trusted voice on the design team to help solve design problems as well as be involved in pre-production planning for efficient execution in the post process. You will also be responsible, with the support of the design lead, of hiring and leading junior motion talent.

You will be proficient in Adobe Creative Suite software, with a strong focus on After effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop. Strong knowledge of Maxon Cinema 4D and character animation will be a plus.
