Motion Designer at Almedia

This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000). We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers’ products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world. We’re looking for a Motion Designer to lead how our brand moves. You’ll be the go-to person for high-end animation and the bridge between design and tech. We need someone who has great taste, stays ahead of what’s trending, and knows how to use motion to tell a story that people actually notice. WHAT YOU'LL DO 🎯 - Set the Standard: Lead the creation of motion assets for social, digital, and brand projects, ensuring everything we put out is high-quality and on-trend. - Build Systems: Create motion guidelines and templates so the rest of the team can work faster and keep the brand looking consistent. - Own the Workflow: Figure out how to use AI and new tools to make our production better and faster. - Mentor Others: Give clear feedback to other designers and help them improve their animation skills. - Collaborate: Work directly with creative directors and tech teams to make sure motion is baked into projects from the start, not tacked on at the end. WHAT YOU'LL BRING 💡 - Solid Experience: You’ve spent years doing this professionally and have a portfolio that proves you can handle complex projects from start to finish. - Technical Skill: You’re an expert in After Effects and Figma. You should also be very comfortable in 3D (like Cinema 4D or Blender). - Eye for Design: You understand layout, type, and color just as well as you understand timing and easing. - Tech Savvy: You’re already using AI tools (like Runway or Midjourney) in your creative process and know how to get the most out of them. - Communication: You can explain your ideas clearly to people who aren't designers and back up your creative choices with logic. WHY ALMEDIA? 🎁 - Own Our Growth: We offer all Berlin-based employees equity in Almedia to truly be a part of our success. - Scale With Almedia: Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one. - Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin. - Other Benefits: Transport subsidy, breakfasts and lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more. We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer.
