About the role

Senior Motion Designer to own motion graphics and GTM video output across Perplexity's social channels. Video-production-first role focusing on concepting, animating, and shipping GTM materials for social, with secondary contributions to motion principles and broader creative technologist work.

Responsibilities

  • Own the creation of motion graphics and video content for our social channels — concepting, storyboarding, animating, and delivering GTM materials end-to-end
  • Make video production your primary focus: a consistent, high-volume output of polished, on-brand motion work
  • Bring ideas to life across 2D and (where relevant) 3D, from styleframes and animatics to final delivery
  • Partner with Brand and Growth to turn launches and campaigns into motion that lands on social
  • Contribute to Perplexity's motion principles, systems, and templates so motion scales consistently across the team (secondary focus)
  • Contribute to broader creative technologist explorations — new tools, techniques, and AI-assisted workflows (secondary focus)
  • Collaborate with the Producer on scoping, scheduling, and delivering work on time

Qualifications

  • Senior-level experience in motion graphics and animation, with video production as your core craft
  • A strong portfolio of expressive motion work — especially social, campaign, and GTM content that demonstrates range and polish
  • Deep command of animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, composition, visual rhythm, and design sensibility
  • Expert proficiency in After Effects and the broader Adobe Creative Suite; comfort in Figma
  • Ability to work fast, manage multiple deliverables, and iterate quickly in a high-output environment
  • A strong sense of when motion adds clarity or emotion — and when a still is the better choice
