Are you a creative pioneer ready to lead and inspire?


Do you dream of pushing boundaries in motion design and 3D artistry?


This is your chance to shine to join our Client as their Motion Design Lead and shape the future of a dynamic creative studio with one of the UK’s leading retailers


This isn’t just about products—it’s about innovation, creativity, and doing extraordinary things. From humble beginnings to becoming one of the UK’s most trusted names, this retailer has proven that anything is possible when great people come together.


Collaboration and creativity thrive in the onsite environment, where the magic happens five days a week.


Why This Role?

The Creative Studio isn’t just a department; it’s the beating heart of the brand. From scroll stopping campaigns to jaw dropping animations, this team creates content that brings the retailer's message to life.


As the Motion Design Lead, you’ll be both a visionary and a hands-on creator, steering a talented team of Motion Designers and 3D Artists to new heights. With this role, it’s not just about leadership—it’s about doing, crafting, and creating alongside your team.


As the Motion Design Lead, here is what you’ll be doing:

  • Take responsibility for the Motion Design and 3D team, ensuring their creative output sets industry standards.
  • Motivate the team to deliver work that is creatively best in class while collaborating with Creative Leads and ensuring consistency across projects.
  • Create exceptional motion design and animated content, conceptualising ideas and crafting beautifully polished designs.
  • Prepare and deliver creative pitches and presentations that excite stakeholders and set projects in motion.
  • Shape your team’s skills through mentoring and feedback, helping them overcome creative challenges and creating an environment where they can thrive.
  • Lead the way in steering projects creatively, optimising resources and timelines for each assignment.


What We’re Looking For:

You’re a Senior Motion Designer at heart, but your leadership abilities and passion for nurturing talent set you apart. You’ll bring:

  • A standout portfolio showcasing your motion design skills and creative problem-solving abilities.
  • Expertise in After Effects, Adobe Creative Suite, Cinema 4D and other 3D design tools
  • A strong grasp of layout, typography, and illustration, along with a meticulous eye for detail.
  • Proven experience mentoring teams and getting the best out of creative minds.
  • Familiarity with 3D processes and workflows is a bonus but not essential.
