About the job
Harvey is seeking a Senior Motion Designer to shape the visual presence of motion across its brand, product storytelling, launch campaigns, web experiences, and customer education. This new role within the Brand and Design team will elevate the standard of motion craft while maintaining a hands-on, generalist approach. The ideal candidate will translate complex AI product concepts into clear, memorable, and scalable motion systems for various applications, including product launches, web content, marketing assets, and internal/external communications.
Responsibilities
- Support the motion design language for Harvey’s brand across various creative assets.
- Create motion concepts, storyboards, style-frames, animatics, and final motion assets.
- Partner with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, and other stakeholders to translate needs into motion narratives.
- Develop reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows.
- Scope work appropriately for different needs, from polished hero moments to quick-turnaround edits.
Requirements
- Strong portfolio demonstrating storytelling, art direction, animation craft, and visual systems thinking.
- Fluency in motion design tools like After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, or comparable tools.
- Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, preferably in a high-growth SaaS environment.
- Ability to simplify complex concepts visually with strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills to align on briefs, handle feedback, and prioritize requests.
- Staff-level ownership mindset, including shaping systems, operating through ambiguity, and providing execution support.
