Job Description

The opportunity:
FINN Partners is seeking a highly skilled Motion Designer/Editor to join our growing creative team. This role is ideal for a seasoned visual storyteller who can bring ideas to life through advanced animation, thoughtful editing, and a strong command of post-production craft. You’ll collaborate with designers, writers, and producers to create compelling video content for some of the world’s most respected brands.

Who are we looking for:
We’re seeking someone who brings curiosity, collaboration, and a drive to make a meaningful impact. This is not an entry-level motion role. We’re looking for someone whose animation capabilities go well beyond basic motion graphics—someone who understands movement, timing, depth, and narrative, and who can execute sophisticated animated sequences with confidence. 

 
  • 7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
  • Advanced animation skills–well beyond basic motion graphics
  • Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Strong working knowledge of After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite
  • Experience with DaVinci Resolve for color grading is a plus
  • Deep understanding of pacing, composition, sound design, and visual storytelling
  • Ability to take creative direction and also work independently when needed
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • A portfolio that clearly demonstrates advanced animation and editorial capabilities
  • Fluency in AI tools such as Midjourney, Gemini and Firefly for the creation of both video and still imagery. 
Nice To Have:
  • Experience with 3D tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar)
  • Background in compositing, VFX, or mixed-media animation
  • Experience working on integrated campaigns across multiple channels
Responsibilities 
  • Edit and animate high-quality video content across platforms, including brand films, social, digital, broadcast, experiential, and internal communications
  • Develop advanced animations that enhance storytelling–ranging from kinetic typography to kinematics
  • Collaborate closely with creative directors, art directors, and producers from concept through final delivery
  • Interpret creative briefs and translate strategy into engaging visual narratives
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a high level of craft and attention to detail
  • Optimize video and animation assets for various formats, channels, and technical specifications
  • Maintain a fastidious organizational structure for media assets and project files
  • Contribute to creative reviews with strong ideas, solutions, and a collaborative mindset
  • Stay current with emerging trends, tools, and techniques in video editing and animation
You might be a great fit if you have:
  • 7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
  • A strong portfolio of editing and motion graphics work
  • A collaborative mindset 
  • The ability to manage multiple projects, balance priorities, and adapt to changing needs
What you’ll get:
  • Competitive salary and benefits
  • Remote and hybrid working flexibility
  • A wellness subsidy
  • A manager who provides consistent 1:1 check-ins, feedback, and growth opportunities
  • Culture-building events and cross-team collaboration
  • Career advancement opportunities within a growing agency
  • A strong emphasis on work-life balance
What you’ll be a part of:
  • An established and still growing agency that values creativity and collaboration.
  • A global team of experts who support each other and strive to achieve excellent results for clients.
  • A culture that promotes diversity, work-life balance, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Where will you work?
All U.S.-based applicants will be considered.

Anticipated Salary: $65,000 - $85,000

Compensation is based on experience and depending upon workplace location.

To apply:  
Please upload your resume (including a link to your reel), cover letter, and your desired salary in $USD. We appreciate all applicants and will follow up with candidates whose experience most closely matches the role.

About Finn Partners:
FINN Partners is a great place to work, but don’t take our word for it. We’ve been voted “#1 Best Agency to Work For” in the Extra-Large Agency Category by PR Week. Our team shares an entrepreneurial spirit and a collaborative culture, which makes us a sought-after employer. Join us to grow your career and be part of a team that’s making an impact.
