> Harvey is seeking a Staff Motion Designer to define the company's motion design language across various brand and product touchpoints. This role involves creating motion concepts, developing reusable systems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to simplify complex AI product ideas.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do

* Own the motion design language for Harvey’s brand across launch videos, product explainers, web and campaign moments, event assets, social cuts, sales enablement, and other high-leverage creative surfaces.
* Create motion concepts, storyboards, styleframes, animatics, and final motion assets that make complex AI workflows feel clear, premium, and unmistakably Harvey.
* Partner closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and other GTM stakeholders to translate positioning, product context, and user needs into motion narratives that can ship quickly.
* Develop reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows so Harvey can scale motion output without reinventing the wheel on every request.
* Use judgment to scope work appropriately across polished hero moments, scrappy launch needs, quick-turnaround edits, and longer-term brand-system investments.
* Raise the craft bar for motion while remaining willing to do the unglamorous but important production work required in a fast-moving creative team.

## What You Have

* A strong portfolio of motion work that demonstrates storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and the ability to explain the process behind finished work.
* Deep fluency in motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code-adjacent motion, or comparable production tools.
* Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, ideally in a product-led technology company or high-growth SaaS environment.
* A demonstrated ability to simplify complex concepts visually without overloading the viewer, including strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility.
* Strong cross-functional communication skills, including the ability to clarify a brief, align with PMM or Marketing goals, handle competing feedback, and prioritize multiple stakeholder requests.
* A staff-level ownership mindset: able to bring ideas, shape systems, operate through ambiguity, give and receive feedback well, and still roll up sleeves when the team needs execution support.
