Motion Designer
Make complex products look as exciting as they actually are.
Represent makes launch films for tech companies, from YC startups to Series B teams. We turn complex products into stories people understand and want to watch.
You'll turn storyboards into finished sequences and own timing, pacing and transitions, so the product clicks and people want to try it. This is motion as storytelling, not motion as polish.
We're looking for a motion designer who's bored of the content mill. Each product here is a new problem: what to show, where to direct attention, how to make an unfamiliar interaction feel obvious. You'll work with designers and producers to find the answer, not execute one handed to you.
Your responsibilities
Shape the storyboard: collaborate with designers before animation starts.
Own the animation: turn storyboards and key frames into finished sequences. Use timing, transitions and UI interactions to make the product easy to follow and satisfying to watch.
Refine the whole cut: review your sequences in context, act on feedback and rework anything that breaks the film's pacing or visual continuity.
Your skill set
A strong core workflow in After Effects. Cavalry, Cinema 4D, Blender, Rive, and AI tools are a plus. We care about the result, not the logo on the software.
A reel with product and UI motion that shows timing, easing and restraint.
Clear written communication and fluent English.
Curiosity. The field is moving fast and we want people who enjoy that.
Technical skill gets motion on the screen. Taste tells you whether it should be there. You know what great work looks like outside the SaaS bubble.
Why Represent
Time to actually craft: one film at a time. We've moved deadlines and redone sequences rather than ship something we're not proud of.
Reel-worthy by default: Products you'll use yourself, launched in front of founders, investors and the internet.
Feedback that makes you better: specific, direct, from designers and producers who care about the whole film.
Logistics
Full-time, part-time, project basis, fully remote.
Home office, software and learning budgets (for full-time).
Three meeting-free days a week.
