Senior Motion Designer
Compass is seeking a Senior Motion Designer to join its In-house Design Studio, a team dedicated to creating high-quality design materials, brand identities, and campaigns for agents, while evolving and refining the Compass brand. This role is based 100% in-office at Compass's headquarters in New York City.
The Senior Motion Designer will lead motion strategy and own the narrative for high-impact product launch and brand campaign videos, taking projects from initial concept through to final render and compositing. Responsibilities include bringing UI designs to life by translating UX/UI designs from Figma into meaningful, story-driven animations, and developing robust, scalable motion templates and dynamic assets that agents can use to market themselves and their listings at scale. The role requires excelling in a fast-paced environment, executing high-quality work without compromising on details.
Candidates should have 4–5+ years of experience as a Motion Designer with a portfolio showcasing premium brand or product storytelling work. Advanced proficiency in After Effects (animation, compositing, templates) and Cinema 4D (modeling, lighting, animation) is required. Strong storytelling, editing, and design fundamentals, along with proficiency in Premiere, Figma, typography, composition, and branding, are essential. The role also seeks individuals with an interest in generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, DALL-E) for concepting, storyboarding, and asset creation, and the ability to iterate quickly and manage high-volume deadlines while maintaining quality.
The salary pay range for this position is a base pay of $90,000 - $103,000 annually; however, base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Bonuses and restricted stock units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to a full range of benefits.
