ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a talented junior/mid weight motion designer to join our creative team and help us deliver engaging and dynamic motion content both internally for Colorido and for our varied client projects.

Either way the ideal candidate will have a good understanding of animation and motion design principles, a keen focus on using technology for storytelling, a great sense of composition, timing and pacing for moving imagery and typography and the ability to adapt their animation style to suit a variety of industries and clients.
