About the Role

What You’ll Do
- Core Animation & Rigging: Own key character and environmental animations, as well as VFX animation, delivering high-quality, performant assets.
- Art Direction & R&D: Assist with concept animation tests, animations, and early visual development to set the motion design tone for projects.
- Cross-Disciplinary Collaboration: Work alongside artists, designers, and developers to problem-solve and find effective animation solutions.
- Marketing Support: Create animated promotional assets, trailers, and marketing materials as needed.
- Feedback & Iteration: Receive constructive feedback from key stakeholders and integrate it into iterations.
