Job Description

This Motion Designer sits at the center of a highly collaborative, social-first creative team, acting as the bridge between visual design and video editing. You will translate visual designers’ storyboards into dynamic motion and video content, bringing ideas to life with precision, craft, and strong platform-native understanding.

The work spans fast-turn (often within 1-2 working days), reactive social content through to long-form YouTube concert series, all rooted in Bose’s presence and impact within music culture. You’ll be shaping how Bose shows up in the music conversation, creating content that responds to, reflects, and amplifies the brand’s relationship with artists, sound, and culture.

This is a tight-knit, highly collaborative environment where motion, design, and edit are deeply interconnected. You’ll work closely with designers, editors, producers, and creative leads to ensure seamless execution from concept through final delivery. The ideal candidate is excited by music, energized by experimentation, and confident working across both speed-driven social content and more crafted long-form storytelling.

• Collaborate closely with visual designers and video editors to ensure cohesive creative execution across all stages of production

• Create motion systems that flex across short-form reactive content and long-form YouTube programming

• Ensure content is optimized for platform-native best practices across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging formats
  Prepare and manage working files across Figma, Illustrator, and Photoshop for motion execution

• Build and maintain organized, scalable After Effects projects with strong production structure

• Collaborate on GFX and design updates where motion input is required

• Contribute ideas in creative sessions and help push concepts further through motion thinking

• Manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, highly iterative production environment
   

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR (THE MANDATORIES)

• ~5 years of experience in motion design, animation, or related creative production roles

• Mastery of Adobe After Effects

• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma for motion prep and asset workflows

• Experience using Adobe Premiere Pro and collaborating closely with video editors

• Proven experience creating both short-form and long-form social content

• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple concurrent projects

• Comfort in fast-paced, iterative environments with shifting priorities

• Strong problem-solving mindset and willingness to experiment and refine

• Deep familiarity with social media content formats and platform behavior
   

NICE TO HAVES

• 3D motion and rendering experience (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar tools)

• Experience adapting or updating design systems for motion and GFX

• Background working with music, artists, or music-focused brands

• Experience presenting your own work to creative teams or stakeholders

• Passion for music culture and how it intersects with visual storytelling
