Motion Designer

• Balance Systems & Bespoke Craft: Seamlessly oscillate between scaling our central motion design system and rolling up your sleeves to execute custom, high-visibility animation across campaigns, events, digital, and video.
• Architect & Maintain Central Motion Systems: Champion Okta’s motion guidelines and infrastructure. Design, document, and maintain modular After Effects project templates, Essential Graphics (MOGRTs), and reusable motion libraries that make on-brand motion accessible to internal collaborators and external agency partners.
• Deliver High-Impact Event Experiences: Concept and execute bespoke motion packages for owned flagship events (Oktane) and major industry activations (AWS re:Invent, RSAC, NRF, etc.). Craft immersive keynote walk-in loops, speaker intros, and environmental stage graphics tailored to custom LED dimensions and experiential spaces.
• Craft Standout Brand & Campaign Motion: Partner with our Senior Motion Designer and Creative Leads to translate high-level campaign briefs into expressive motion graphics, kinetic typography, and animated concepts that elevate product launches, brand announcements, and company milestones.
• Drive Dynamic Social & Digital Storytelling: Bring fresh energy, pacing, and visual wit to social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, X) and digital touchpoints, translating complex enterprise security and AI narratives into captivating, scroll-stopping visual content.
• Elevate Video & Branded Content: Collaborate with video editors and producers on title sequences, kinetic type treatments, UI animations, and motion graphic overlays for customer case studies, product sizzles, and brand films.
• Push the Boundaries of Brand Motion: Experiment and explore new kinetic expressions for the Okta visual identity, testing how our visual language, iconography, and graphic elements behave dynamically across 2D and 3D spaces.
• End-to-End Production & Optimization: Own motion assets from initial styleframes and storyboarding through final animation, audio sync, rendering, compression, and delivery across broadcast, web, social, and non-standard event display formats.

• You get the best of both worlds: the technical satisfaction of building foundational, high-leverage motion systems and the creative freedom to direct bespoke, boundary-pushing work.
• Your creative output will be seen by hundreds of thousands of people across global keynote screens, high-profile campaigns, and multi-channel digital touchpoints.
• You will directly influence how one of the most vital enterprise identity and security brands moves, transitions, and expresses itself in modern visual culture.
• You will work alongside a collaborative, craft-first team of art directors, designers, and storytellers who celebrate bold creative swings and visual excellence.

• Experience: 3+ years of dedicated motion design experience in-house at a fast-paced tech company, creative branding agency, or motion studio, demonstrating equal strength in system building and bespoke creative execution.
• Dual-Track Creative Mindset: Demonstrated ability to balance disciplined, organized systems thinking (templates, toolkits, brand consistency) with the agility and creative fire needed to craft inventive, one-of-a-kind motion moments.
• Tool & Craft Mastery (Required): Expert-level proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and the core Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Illustrator, Photoshop). Sound, intuitive command of motion fundamentals: kinetic typography, spatial staging, easing curves, rhythm, and visual hierarchy.
• Motion Systems & Templating Fluency: Hands-on experience developing modular After Effects templates, Essential Graphics/MOGRTs, and standardized project setups that enable team-wide scalability.
• Versatile, Impact-Driven Portfolio: A standout reel and portfolio showcasing a balanced breadth of work—from large-scale event stage animations and campaign hero pieces to social content and structured motion toolkits.
• Technical Fluency: Solid command of digital video formats, aspect ratios, framerates, codecs, and render optimization across mobile, desktop, and large-format physical screen arrays.
• Collaborative & Agile Attitude: Excellent communication and presentation skills, with comfort advocating for motion rationale, adapting to feedback, and thriving in an iterative, fast-moving creative environment.

• 3D Motion Capability: Working knowledge of 3D motion design and rendering tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, Redshift, Octane).
• Expression Scripting: Familiarity with writing After Effects expressions to build smarter, automated, dynamic MOGRTs and templates.
• Experiential & Stage Tech: Practical experience creating motion graphics for custom LED resolutions, spatial light mapping, or experiential digital signage.
• Multi-Brand & Localization: Experience managing motion assets across multi-brand ecosystems or localizing toolkits for global marketing teams.

• You don’t believe in choosing between systemic efficiency and creative distinction—you know how to make systems flexible enough to inspire great art.
• You have an impeccable eye for timing and pacing, knowing when an animation calls for clean, understated elegance versus high-energy punch.
• You are naturally curious, proactive, and excited to jump between building scalable infrastructure and dreaming up bespoke creative solutions.
