Motion Designer at Conveo

WHAT WE ARE BUILDING AT CONVEO Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing, product, and research teams. #1 WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING AND WHY IS THIS AN IMPORTANT PROBLEM TO SOLVE The traditional research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research requires expertise that most companies do not have. That directly affects how well businesses understand their customers and how well they can serve them. #2 THE TEAM YOU WILL JOIN You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team combines decades of market research knowledge, world-class engineering, and experience building companies. #3 HOW WE OPERATE - We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. We humbly go the extra mile every time. - We work hard and we have fun. - To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team. ABOUT THE ROLE Conveo is in a rare window. We're the category-defining AI research platform, we just closed $50M from DST, and the biggest brands on the planet are the ones paying us money. The visual story of the company has to match that altitude. We're not looking for a motion designer. We're looking for the best motion designer in the world who has decided to stop freelancing and stop agency-hopping, and to go in-house on something that actually matters. This is a craft role. Not a coordinator role. Not a "ticket queue" role. You will make the work. You will set the bar. You will decide what Conveo looks like in motion for the next decade. You will own motion across: - Product: how our product feels the second it opens, how features are revealed, how AI moments come to life - Brand: the identity system, the how-we-show-up layer across every surface - Launch moments: new features, new studies, new customer stories, always with a piece of motion at the center - Stage and sales: event opens, keynote backdrops, pitch-deck motion, high-ACV meeting assets - Social and paid: the frames people see first, scroll past last, and remember This role is only for someone who believes motion is strategy, not decoration. YOUR MISSION DEFINE THE CONVEO MOTION LANGUAGE You are the author of how Conveo looks and feels in motion: - Establish the motion system: timing, easing, type behavior, transitions, visual vocabulary - Build a component library that makes the whole team faster without dropping quality - Decide what "on-brand" means for every surface, and guard it - Evolve the language every quarter so we never stop looking current Your bar: anyone in our category, looking at a 3-second clip, recognizes it as Conveo. SHIP HERO WORK FOR EVERY MAJOR MOMENT You make the pieces that define the year: - The film, the launch moment, the stage opener, the homepage hero - Product reveals that feel like Apple keynote moments - Customer hero stories that make Fortune 500 brands want to be featured - The social frames that make people stop scrolling Your bar: at the end of the year, we can point to 6-8 pieces of work that defined how the category understands Conveo. MAKE THE PRODUCT LOOK ALIVE You sit next to product and design, not across from them. AI moments, insight reveals, data coming to life on screen: you design those frames before engineering builds them: - Micro-interactions and transitions inside the product - Animated data viz, insight reveals, live study moments - Onboarding, empty states, and "wow" frames that turn first-use into a memory - Coordination with our product designers so what you make actually ships Your bar: customers quote the product experience back to us. BUILD THE TEAM, NOT JUST THE WORK As our first in-house motion hire, you build the motion function itself: - Tooling, file hygiene, render pipelines, asset libraries - Briefing templates so motion requests arrive in a workable shape - A roster of external collaborators for overflow - Eventually, your first hire Your bar: when a new hire joins the marketing team, the motion system is the reason they understand Conveo faster. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR NON-NEGOTIABLES - 6+ years of motion design experience, in-house or agency, with a reel we cannot look away from - World-class craft in at least two of After Effects, Cinema 4D / Blender, Figma, Rive, Lottie, Runway, v0 - Range: you have shipped product-native motion, brand film, stage, and social, and you know why each one is different - Proven taste-level: you have work in portfolios, galleries, or awards lists that the community respects - Fluent in story: you can turn a hand-wavy brief into a 30-second piece that makes people feel something specific - Fluent in systems: you understand why an in-house role needs a component library, not just a hero video - English fluency and ability to work with a distributed team across Antwerp, London, and New York MINDSET - High agency, low ego - Craft-obsessed without being precious - Wants to go in-house, on purpose, because the brand deserves a single author - Collaborative with product, design, brand, and sales without losing your point of view - Opinionated about taste, generous with credit - Treats AI tools as collaborators, not threats BONUS (NOT REQUIRED) - Identity and brand system experience (not just motion for identities designed by others) - 3D, generative, or real-time motion skills - Stage and event design experience - Experience at a design-led AI, SaaS, or consumer technology company - Side practice, community work, teaching, or published work WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE - Conveo has a motion language, a system, and a library, not a pile of one-off files - The top 6-8 pieces of Conveo content each year are yours, and they are the reference pieces of the category - Product motion ships in-product, not just in marketing - Prospects and customers cite our visual work as a reason they took our meeting - The brand looks unmistakably like Conveo across product, web, social, stage, and sales - You attract the next designer we hire because they want to work with you WHY JOIN US? At Conveo, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working, and spending time, together. We care about building real relationships, not just great products. That's why we run quarterly team offsites where we disconnect, reset, and have fun. PLUS: - A rare chance to be the first in-house motion designer at a category-defining AI company, with full authorship of the visual system - Build and own the Conveo look as we go from $4M to $50M ARR, and into the Palantir-for-insights chapter after that - Budget for tools, hardware, plug-ins, typefaces, courses, and conferences. If it makes the work better, we buy it. - Direct partnership with founders and the creative leadership team - Work tied to the biggest brands on the planet (Unilever, Google, P&G, Orange, Colgate, Haleon) - Competitive compensation with meaningful equity upside - Hybrid working model with offices in London, Antwerp, and New York - A culture built on taste, speed, ownership, and ambition
