Senior Motion Designer @ Profound
About the Company
They build the infrastructure that helps companies understand and control how they appear across AI-generated experiences — the layer where brands are now discovered, trusted, and chosen. In less than 18 months they've reached significant ARR, signed Fortune 500 clients, and closed a major funding round led by top-tier investors. They're now building a dedicated marketing site squad in Buenos Aires, and this is one of the first hires into it.
The Role
As a Motion Designer, you'll bring the brand, marketing, and product to life through motion. You'll work across the marketing, brand, and product teams to turn complex ideas into animations that are as polished as they are fast to ship, with deep ownership over how the brand moves.
What You'll Do
Develop motion concepts end to end for marketing, brand, and product content, from concept development and storyboarding through final animation
Create animated brand assets such as logo reveals, title sequences, lower-thirds, transitions, and end cards
Produce short-form social animations and ad creatives, optimized for the formats and platforms each campaign requires
Bring the product to life through motion, including feature demos, UI animation, and product storytelling in partnership with the product team
Handle light video editing in support of your motion work, including timing adjustments, assembling provided footage, and basic sound sync
Prepare and deliver final exports in agreed formats, including source files where applicable
Partner closely with stakeholders across marketing, brand, and product to gather requirements, align on creative direction, and confirm delivery timelines
Who You Are
You work with full autonomy and can take a brief and own it end to end, from concept to final delivery, without hand-holding. This is not a junior role
You have real command of animation and apply the core principles (timing, spacing, weight, anticipation, follow-through) with fluency and ease
You have a reel or portfolio that shows a high bar for craft across brand, social, and product motion
You're fluent in After Effects and comfortable working in Figma; bonus for tools like Rive, Lottie, Cinema 4D, and Premiere
You sweat the finish (typography, spacing, rhythm, and consistency) and know what makes motion feel effortless
You move fast and reliably deliver high-quality work on short timelines without sacrificing craft
You're a versatile generalist, equally comfortable on a sales-ready social cut and an in-product animation
You like to experiment with AI and new tools to work faster and push your craft further
You're a strong communicator who can articulate creative decisions and incorporate feedback to continuously improve the work
You can just do things
