Who Should Apply
This role fits a motion designer who already leads projects and can point to a portfolio of product animations, UI motion, and tech-focused visuals. You should be comfortable in After Effects and Figma, and have working knowledge of Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar 3D tools, plus editing in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. The role is less suitable for someone who only executes storyboards or lacks experience with 3D and generative workflows.
