About The Heist Hi We're The Heist, the production, post production and animation arm of Thinkingbox, a global creative collective shaping the future of brands through craft and curiosity. Our team brings together unique perspectives in production, design, technology, and creativity that push the boundaries for our clients to create work that is uniquely ours. We are a curious bunch that loves to think big, continuously learn, and create. We love our culture and the natural collaboration that happens in and around our five offices, from dog parties, to happy hour Thursdays, to random team trips to Whistler, we maintain a vibrant work environment. However, for one month a year we encourage our people to explore the world. Try working from another office or even the beaches of Mexico and expand your worldview, then bring that experience back to the team.
The Opportunity We are looking for an Intermediate Motion Designer to join our growing team. You are a versatile motion generalist with strong foundations in both 2D and 3D, however your superpower lies in thoughtful type, composition, and UI-driven storytelling. You bring curiosity, initiative, and craft to everything you touch, and love collaborating with other designers, animators, and creative leads to push ideas further. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about high-end motion, visual identity systems, and polished UI animation across a range of mediums. What You'll Be Doing
  • Design and animate motion content across 2D and 3D workflows for brand campaigns, product stories, and experiential work
  • Create elegant type-driven animation, transitions, and UI motion for digital experiences
  • Develop design boards, style frames, and motion references that bring concepts to life
  • Work closely with creative directors, art directors, and designers to deliver elevated visual systems and storytelling
  • Contribute to pitch decks, mood boards, and visual directions for new projects
  • Participate in reviews, share feedback with teammates, and help maintain a high craft bar
  • Stay curious about emerging motion trends, tools, and techniques
What You'll Bring
  • 3 to 5 years of motion design experience in a studio or agency environment
  • Strong 2D and 3D design and animation skills; you can shift between both comfortably
  • Demonstrated strength in type animation, UI motion, and clean composition
  • Proficiency in After Effects, Cinema 4D (or similar), and Adobe Creative Suite; familiarity with Figma and Unreal is a bonus
  • Confident in building styleframes, motion tests, and visual explorations
  • Ability to take creative direction and collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams
  • Strong attention to detail and a passion for thoughtful design craft
  • A portfolio showcasing a range of motion work including 2D, 3D, UI, and type-led pieces
Nice to Have
  • Experience with Redshift or Octane
  • Experience with Houdini or procedural workflows
  • Knowledge of accessibility and UX best practices in motion
Equal Opportunity At The Heist, we're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength – it's the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions. We welcome and encourage applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to apply. Your voice matters here.
