Full Job Description
About the Role

We're hiring a Motion Designer to join the Fieldguide team. You'll own the animations, product explainers, and campaign pieces that bring our product and brand to life. You'll take dense, technical product and brand concepts and turn them into visual stories that are sharp, credible, and engaging. This is a dedicated motion design seat: you'll partner closely with our creative team to set the standard for motion and animation at Fieldguide, and build the visual language for how we represent our product and its ideas in motion.

What You'll Do
  • Design and animate motion graphics for brand videos, product explainers, campaign content, and event deliverables, translating technical and strategic concepts into visuals that resonate and connect with our audience.
  • Build the visual language for how we represent our product and its ideas in motion: UI animation, data visualization, conceptual/abstract sequences, and typography-driven storytelling.
  • Own and evolve our motion design system (transitions, iconography in motion, animation principles).
  • Work directly with brand, product marketing, and design to scope projects from concept through final delivery.
  • Partner with video editors on hybrid pieces, handing off or receiving cuts and layering in motion graphics, titles, and effects.

Who You Are
  • A strong portfolio of motion work that demonstrates visual storytelling, art direction, animation craft, and visual systems thinking.
  • A track record of making technical ideas visually clear. The ability to look at a paragraph of product or strategy language and see the animation in it.
  • Deep fluency in motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code-adjacent motion, or comparable production tools.
  • Strong typography and systems thinking: you can build a visual language once and reuse it consistently across many pieces.
  • Comfortable working in Figma and collaborating directly with Product Designers to translate complex UI into marketing motion.
  • A team player who brings a unique sense of aesthetics and passion for bringing concepts to life.
