About the role

Highwire's creative team sits within the agency's digital practice.
We believe the biggest ideas don't have to be the most complex and in the importance of matching creative delivery with strategic motivation.
What You'll Gain You'll work inside a dedicated, close-knit team built for high-volume production.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Designer, Brand & Motion, you'll work closely with the Creative team to drive the development of motion graphics, video, and animated content across high-volume, fast-turnaround campaigns, while staying grounded in brand systems and standards.
This includes motion design for social content, digital campaigns, event experiences, and branded video, as well as supporting static design work, such as decks, presentations, and digital mockups, when needed.
You'll work seamlessly with our creative strategy leads, creative director, digital strategists, project managers, and digital designers to create awe-inspiring ideas, campaigns, and assets.
You'll build deep expertise in motion and video at scale, with a steady, significant volume of work to sharpen your craft against.
Conceptualize, design, and execute motion graphics, animated content, and video assets across high-volume campaigns, maintaining brand consistency and craft quality under fast-turnaround timelines.
Conceptualize and develop design solutions, including supporting static and digital design work, that adhere to client brand standards and meet business goals across mediums such as presentations, landing pages, and digital collateral.
Collect and implement feedback within designated review cycles. Know how to navigate client feedback effectively, even when uninformed.
Provide design support for Highwire marketing and new business initiatives, including pitch decks, marketing collateral, and agency website updates.
Work with the Creative Director to provide design mentorship to junior designers, the digital team, and the wider agency.
A compelling portfolio showcasing motion graphics and video work at a campaign level, alongside a solid understanding of broader design principles and brand systems

Requirements

Graphic design or visual effects degree or equivalent experience with an eye for brand
Must be able to prioritize multiple projects, meet deadlines, and proactively flag conflicts with account and creative teams
Experience with AI-powered creative tools (such as generative design, motion, or video tools) is a plus
