About the role Our Blender Character Animators are fantastic storytellers who focus on expert comedic timing, charming acting choices, and meeting tight production deadlines while meeting the brief from Directors and Clients. Your day‑to‑day work will involve creating layouts and animation for commercial projects, establishing camera set‑ups, collaborating with a Creative Lead/Director, and pushing creative boundaries. This is a speculative advert… We’re looking for successful candidates to join the team in January/February 2026 with training lasting 10‑12 weeks.

Day‑to‑day Work independently or collaboratively with other animators, maintaining regular communication with your Creative Lead, Director, and the broader Short Form and Commercials team. Manage your time effectively to meet short deadlines, proactively flagging any potential delays with your producer early. Ensure your animation clearly conveys the story, ideas, and acting choices—from initial camera blocking through to final polish. Take direction constructively and implement feedback from your Creative Lead or Director with a positive, solution‑focused mindset. Collaborate across departments to address production challenges, clearly communicating with teammates both inside and outside of animation to move projects forward. Support the team during periods of high demand or when covering for absent colleagues. Mentor and guide less experienced team members to grow overall team capability.
