Motion Designer

Remote – U.S. & Canada Only | Full-Time | $65,000–$75,000

We’re not hiring a Motion Designer to push pixels. We’re hiring a visual storyteller who turns strategy into scroll-stopping motion.

Level Agency is looking for a smart, skilled, and conceptually-driven Motion Designer to bring ideas to life across digital channels. This is a hands-on role for a creative who thrives at the intersection of design, animation, and performance marketing. You’ll help develop concepts and execute motion-first content for paid media, organic social, explainers, product demos, and beyond.

You’ll work alongside copywriters, editors, and creative strategists to transform briefs into compelling visual stories that move audiences—and drive results. If you think in frames and flows, love collaborating across disciplines, and want to stretch your creative range, you’ll fit right in.

This Isn’t for Everyone

We’re building something rare: a creative team that values performance as much as craft.

You’ll thrive here if:

• You understand how great motion drives action, not just aesthetic
• You’re fluent in After Effects, but never stop learning new tools and techniques
• You see feedback as a collaboration, not a critique
• You can juggle deadlines without dropping details
• You treat AI like a creative partner, not a threat

And you’ll struggle here if:

• You need a script to start or a checklist to move
• You resist structure or iteration
• You shy away from cross-functional collaboration
