Responsibilities

  • Design motion-forward experiences across in-app surfaces, web, email, lifecycle comms, and product marketing, with a focus on clarity, accessibility, performance, and storytelling.
  • Create animations, motion studies, animated illustrations, iconography, and interaction patterns that explain product behavior, guide attention, and improve customer comprehension.
  • Own defined visual and motion-design projects from concept and storyboarding through production and implementation, maintaining a consistently high level of craft.
  • Contribute to product-design initiatives by mapping user flows, developing interaction concepts, and carrying solutions through high-fidelity design and prototyping.
  • Create and extend reusable visual assets, motion patterns, guidelines, and components that strengthen Affirm’s product and communication systems.
  • Collaborate with Product Design, Design Systems, Product, Engineering, Brand, Content Design, Lifecycle, and Growth partners to deliver cohesive end-to-end experiences.
  • Prepare production-ready assets and specifications, partnering with engineers to ensure motion and visual details are accessible, performant, and implemented as intended.

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of professional experience in motion, animation, visual, communication, or product design within a product-driven environment.
  • A portfolio demonstrating strong motion and visual-design craft, including animation, interaction, illustration, and storytelling across digital product experiences.
  • Strong knowledge of animation principles, including timing, pacing, easing, transitions, and choreography, and proficiency with tools such as After Effects, LottieFiles, Rive, or comparable software.
  • Mastery of tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, After Effects, LottieFiles, and relevant 2D/3D animation tools.
  • Familiarity with HTML/CSS and the technical constraints of production environments (especially in email and mobile).
  • UX and product-design experience, including an understanding of user flows, interaction design, information hierarchy, and how motion can support an end-to-end experience.
  • Ability to storyboard, prototype, and articulate design decisions to technical and non-technical audiences alike.
