About the role
- Triple Whale is the AI operating system built for modern ecommmerce.
- We help you see what's actually working in your business, what's not, and what to do next.
- Then we take action for you - pausing the underperforming ad, generating the next batch of creative, flagging the inventory risk before it bites.
Responsibilities
- Concept and create motion, animation, and video content that brings our product and brand story to life: from product marketing videos and launch campaigns to social content and experiential pieces
- This includes directing shoots/films (travel to set when we're filming, working with directors, and production teams) as well as bringing ideas and direction to other visual design work campaigns, brand assets, decks, whatever the team is producing
- Bring ideas to the table for the rest of the creative team, beyond your own motion work you're a source of creative direction and visual thinking that other designers can build on, not just someone who executes their own briefs
- Partner cross-functionally with product marketing, brand, and product teams to make sure motion work is grounded in what we're actually trying to say and sell
- Evaluate and manage outside partners when needed (production agencies, freelancers, contractors) to extend the team's capacity on bigger campaigns
- 6+ years of professional motion design / animation experience, including senior or lead-level work
Requirements
- Comfortable being the visionary and the closer you can pitch a big idea and also be the one who ships it

- Art direct across the board not just video shoots and productions, but the broader creative execution of the team.
- Set and uphold visual and motion standards across the team you'll be the person others look to for "does this feel like us, and is it good enough"
- Coach and mentor other designers (roughly 25% of your time), giving feedback that levels people up rather than just corrects the work in front of you
- Generate creative concepts and ideation you're not waiting for a brief, you're helping write it
- Balance speed and quality thrive under tight deadlines without letting the bar slip
- know when "good enough, fast" is the right call and when it isn't
- Proven art direction experience either a formal art director title, or a film/production background that translates directly.
