You do all of this yourself. You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage, and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website. You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands off to post-production. We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound. Your Responsibilitites * Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings) * Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats * Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions * Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing. You understand that sound is what brings product videos to life * Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos * Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why * Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements) What to expect * Full ownership over all of fonio's motion output, end-to-end, no handoffs * Direct impact on an ad spend budget of over €700,000/month * Close collaboration with the Creative Strategist, Content Creator, and Marketing Lead * Short decision-making paths, fast pace, real autonomy * Access to the latest AI tools for motion (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.) Who We're Looking For Must-haves: * 1-3 years of experience in motion design and animation * Native in After Effects. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint * Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable) * Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing, color, sound design), all in one person * Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring videos to life * Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight) * Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion * Fluent English, German at C1 level Nice-to-have: * Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools * Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.) * Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.) What We Offer * €65,000-100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience) * On-site in Vienna * Relocation package (if relevant) * Top equipment and access to the latest AI tools * Direct collaboration with founders and a strong marketing team * A product that scales, and creatives you'll actually see live and track the performance of Hiring Process * 15 min hiring manager intro call * 45 min case and technical interview (including a short motion task) * 20 min conversation on culture, expectations, and details https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fonio/d95edc12-ff26-45d6-b4a7-c4a5bf8f8f45/application?embed=js&locationId=18386194-f012-4992-827f-51d91e785ada Das Mindestentgelt für die Stelle als Motion Designer (m/f/d) beträgt 60.000,00 EUR brutto pro Jahr auf Basis Vollzeitbeschäftigung.
