The opportunity: FINN Partners is seeking a highly skilled Motion Designer/Editor to join our growing creative team. This role is ideal for a seasoned visual storyteller who can bring ideas to life through advanced animation, thoughtful editing, and a strong command of post-production craft. You’ll collaborate with designers, writers, and producers to create compelling video content for some of the world’s most respected brands.
Who are we looking for: We’re seeking someone who brings curiosity, collaboration, and a drive to make a meaningful impact. This is not an entry-level motion role. We’re looking for someone whose animation capabilities go well beyond basic motion graphics—someone who understands movement, timing, depth, and narrative, and who can execute sophisticated animated sequences with confidence.
7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
Strong working knowledge of After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite
Experience with DaVinci Resolve for color grading is a plus
Deep understanding of pacing, composition, sound design, and visual storytelling
Ability to take creative direction and also work independently when needed
Strong organizational skills and the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
A portfolio that clearly demonstrates advanced animation and editorial capabilities
Fluency in AI tools such as Midjourney, Gemini and Firefly for the creation of both video and still imagery.
Nice To Have:
Experience with 3D tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar)
Background in compositing, VFX, or mixed-media animation
Experience working on integrated campaigns across multiple channels
Responsibilities
Edit and animate high-quality video content across platforms, including brand films, social, digital, broadcast, experiential, and internal communications
Develop advanced animations that enhance storytelling–ranging from kinetic typography to kinematics
Collaborate closely with creative directors, art directors, and producers from concept through final delivery
Interpret creative briefs and translate strategy into engaging visual narratives
Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a high level of craft and attention to detail
Optimize video and animation assets for various formats, channels, and technical specifications
Maintain a fastidious organizational structure for media assets and project files
Contribute to creative reviews with strong ideas, solutions, and a collaborative mindset
Stay current with emerging trends, tools, and techniques in video editing and animation
You might be a great fit if you have:
7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
A strong portfolio of editing and motion graphics work
A collaborative mindset
The ability to manage multiple projects, balance priorities, and adapt to changing needs
What you’ll get:
Competitive salary and benefits
Remote and hybrid working flexibility
A wellness subsidy
A manager who provides consistent 1:1 check-ins, feedback, and growth opportunities
Culture-building events and cross-team collaboration
Career advancement opportunities within a growing agency
