We're looking for a midweight Motion Designer to join us on a three-month, full-time freelance engagement. You'll bring digital products, brands, and ideas to life through animation, supporting Afternow's own marketing and case studies, and a handful of marketing assets for client projects.

The work centres on digital products: animating digital interfaces, building brand reveal videos, and producing explainer videos that make complex products easy to follow. You'll work alongside our branding and UI design team, so a good eye for design and an understanding of brand systems matter as much as technical skill.

Animate Product Visuals

Turn product interfaces and UI designs into clear, polished motion, from feature walkthroughs to short product teasers.

Create Brand Reveals and Explainers

Produce brand reveal videos and explainer videos that stay true to each brand's identity, from storyboard through to final delivery.

Support Afternow Marketing and Case Studies

Build animated assets for our website, social channels, and case studies that show our work at its best.

Support Client Projects

Contribute motion assets to client projects, applying and extending the brand systems our team has created.

Collaborate and Iterate

Work closely with designers, strategists, and project leads, and make revisions based on team and client feedback.

Manage Your Own Workload

Keep several pieces moving at once, communicate clearly on progress, and deliver on time.
