Staff Motion Designer

Harvey is seeking a Staff Motion Designer in San Francisco to define and elevate the motion design language across brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive-facing creative work.

Responsibilities

• Own the motion language for the Harvey brand across launch videos, product explainers, website and campaign moments, event assets, social edits, sales enablement, and other high-impact creative surfaces.
• Develop motion concepts, storyboards, styleframes, animatics, and final assets that clarify complex AI workflows with a premium Harvey aesthetic.
• Collaborate closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and other GTM stakeholders to translate positioning, product context, and user needs into ship-ready motion narratives.
• Build reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows to scale motion output without reworking each request.
• Use sound judgment to scope work for polished hero moments, rapid-launch needs, quick-turnaround edits, and longer-term brand-system investments.
• Raise the craft bar for motion while performing the essential production work required in a fast-moving creative team.

Requirements

• A strong portfolio of motion work that demonstrates storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and the ability to explain the process behind the finished work.
• Deep fluency with motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code-adjacent motion, or comparable production tools.
• Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, ideally within a product-led technology company or high-growth SaaS environment.
• Proven ability to simplify complex concepts visually, with strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, including clarifying briefs, aligning with PMM or Marketing goals, managing competing feedback, and prioritizing multiple stakeholder requests.
