From the original posting
Our Design org is a multi-disciplinary team of Product Design, Brand and Marketing Design, Motion Design, and User Research - all working cross-functionally toward one goal: give independents the tools they need to run and grow their business.
The role
We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Motion Designer to own motion end-to-end at HoneyBook - from concept and script to design, animation, and launch. This isn't a traditional motion job; it’s a high-impact IC role for someone with a real curiosity for new tech, who stays ahead of emerging tools and wants to help shape a modern, AI-driven workflow. You'll spend most of your time making, while directing freelancers when projects need extra scale.
What you'll do
Directly Create & Animate: Own end-to-end execution - ads, tutorials, product videos, and brand moments - from initial brief to final shipped asset.
Build AI-Native Workflows: Use tools like Weave, Krea, and Midjourney to automate production, speed up R&D, and establish a distinct HoneyBook motion style.
Direct External Talent: Serve as the creative lead for freelance motion artists - briefing, reviewing, and holding them to HoneyBook's bar when project scale requires extra hands.
Connect Motion to Metrics: Partner with marketing, product, and engineering to create work that moves business goals, not just looks good in a reel.
Set Up Studio Systems: Define the processes, tooling, and workflows to build an efficient, scalable motion practice.
What we're looking for7+ years of hands-on motion graphics and creative direction, with a portfolio showing range across script-to-screen, live-action, and 3D. Beyond technical skill, we look for:
Uncompromising Craft & Taste: You love being in the tool and take pride in exceptional art direction. In an AI world, your value lies in judgment, taste, and execution.
Full-Stack Maker: Comfortable doing the work at every stage - script, storyboard, frame, and animation, and knowing when to pivot to live-action or 3D.
AI-Fluent Mindset: You leverage AI to automate routine tasks, freeing up more time to focus on complex, high-craft frames.
Strategic Storytelling: Ability to connect audience insights to compelling creative, knowing that a great story always beats a shiny visual.
