Job description for Senior Motion Graphic Designer at 13-years
The Agency
13 Years is a new-generation creative agency. 70 talents, 25 nationalities, multiple time zones — a fluid, fast-moving team that never stands still.
We're AI-native. Not as a slogan, as a practice. Every week we test, integrate, and push tools to see how far they can go. Curiosity and boldness guide our decisions.
Our clients include LVMH, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Moncler, L'Oréal, Sanofi, Stellantis, BNP Paribas — global brands that work with us to challenge conventions, not repeat them.
Everything here is built on collaboration, shared intelligence, and the desire to create together. The project always comes first — driven by quality, meaning, and the pleasure of making things well.
The Role
We're looking for a Senior Motion Graphic Designer with a distinct visual signature, masterful timing, and a deep sensitivity to brand storytelling.
You are deeply grounded in motion fundamentals — rhythm, easing, pacing, kinetic typography, and composition — and you know how to build motion systems that feel premium, coherent, and intentional. You don't just make things move; you define how a brand breathes and behaves in a digital space.
Agency experience is a strong plus. You're comfortable in fast-paced environments with high standards, and you see AI as a creative accelerator, not a replacement for craft.
Projects here are collaborative. Ideas are challenged, refined, and strengthened through collective intelligence.
What We Expect
- Motion Design & Visual Storytelling
- Design and animate high-end assets for luxury, beauty, and lifestyle brands (social content, DOOH, brand films, Deck).
- Build and maintain robust motion guidelines and brand systems.
- Translate creative and strategic briefs into fluid, elegant, and engaging narratives.
- Deliver fast while maintaining a high level of polish and frame-by-frame precision.
Technical & Aesthetic Excellence
- Expert command of After Effects, Premiere Pro, and relevant plugins. (3D proficiency in C4D or Blender is a major differentiator).
- Mastery of kinetic typography, transitions, compositing, and visual hierarchy.
- Ability to adapt motion languages across various formats (9:16, 16:9, square) without losing impact.
- Clean execution: organized projects, efficient rendering workflows, and production-ready outputs.
- Strong understanding of static design principles (layout, color, type). You respect the design before you animate it.
- Ability to take static assets and enhance them, not distort them.
AI-Augmented Creativity
- Genuine curiosity about integrating AI into motion workflows.
- Use AI for storyboarding, styleframes, asset generation, or texture creation.
- Experiment with AI video tools (Runway, Pika, etc.) to push boundaries and speed up ideation.
- Stay informed about emerging tools and evolving creative practices.
Your Profile
- 3-5+ years of experience, ideally in creative agencies or high-end production houses.
- Strong showreel demonstrating motion excellence, timing, and brand work.
- Experience working with premium, fashion, beauty, or lifestyle brands.
- Detail-oriented, fast, and reliable.
- Collaborative mindset, open to feedback and iteration.
- Curious, adaptable, and eager to evolve.
- Positive energy and professional attitude.
Flexible Organization
We operate with teams working in relay to cover 7 days a week. You can join:
- The weekday team (Monday → Friday)
- The weekend team (Saturday → Sunday)
- A mix of both, depending on your preferences and life rhythm.
This is real flexibility, built together — not a promise, a system.
The Environment
- Fully remote, wherever you are.
- High trust, strong autonomy.
- Work-life balance is taken seriously.
- Extra effort is always compensated or paid.
Process
- Portfolio/Showreel review
- In-depth conversation
- Paid 3–5 day trial under real working conditions
To Apply
- Your showreel/portfolio
- Your desired compensation (full-time basis)
- Your availability and preference: weekdays, weekends, or mix
