About the role
As a Junior Motion Designer, you’ll be a key part of our motion team, working under the guidance of our senior designers and directors to help bring global brand identities to life. You’ll be hands-on across a variety of projects, including social content, digital activations, and brand films. This role is a perfect opportunity to hone your craft in 2D motion design and video editing while collaborating with our multidisciplinary teams of strategists and creatives. You’ll assist in taking static brand assets and transforming them into fluid, engaging motion, learning how to adapt your style to suit different industries and visual languages. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy environment where you’ll be encouraged to experiment with new techniques, stay curious about the latest motion trends, and contribute your own original ideas to help tell powerful brand stories.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you
You’ll have a growing portfolio that shows a genuine passion for animation principles and storytelling through movement. You’ll be highly proficient in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator, with a sharp eye for timing, rhythm, and detail. You are eager to learn, open to feedback, and comfortable working on multiple projects at once. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, so you’ll be a proactive communicator and a great team player who is ready to jump in and support the wider studio.
Additional skills and experience that would be beneficial include:
- A foundational understanding of animation principles (timing, spacing, and easing).
- A keen interest in emerging motion tools, such as Cavalry, or an interest in exploring generative AI workflows for motion.
- Basic knowledge of 3D software (like Cinema 4D) is a plus, but a passion for 2D animation and editing is your primary focus.
- A strong sense of composition and visual narrative.
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset and a willingness to experiment with transitions and editing techniques.
