Senior Interaction Designer (Motion, Animation, Mobile Product)
Location: London
Client: Chase UK
Working model: Onsite
The role:
We're seeking a Senior Interaction Designer to join Chase UK, JP Morgan's digital consumer bank, to help define the motion language, interaction patterns and iconography for an exciting new mobile product.
This isn't a traditional UI or Product Design role. We're looking for someone who obsesses over the details that elevate a product from functional to exceptional—timing, easing, choreography, micro-interactions and thoughtful motion that helps users understand what's happening at every step.
You'll work within a small, collaborative team of Product Designers, Engineers and Product Managers, owning the interaction and motion experience from concept through to production. Everything you create will contribute to a scalable design system and be shipped to users.
What you'll be doing:
You'll take ownership of the product's interaction and motion system, including:
- Defining motion principles, behaviours and animation standards across the product.
- Designing meaningful transitions that guide users naturally through key journeys.
- Creating loading, processing, confirmation and error state animations that clearly communicate system status.
- Designing polished micro-interactions including button feedback, selection states, expansion, reordering and navigation.
- Building a cohesive iconography system covering functional icons, status indicators and supporting illustrations.
- Producing high-fidelity prototypes that demonstrate timing, behaviour and interaction.
- Contributing to the design system with motion guidelines, reusable patterns and documentation.
- Working closely with engineers to ensure animations are performant and implemented as intended.
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.
What we're looking for:
We're interested in people who have experience designing mobile product experiences, not just marketing or brand animation.
You'll ideally have:
- Strong experience in Interaction Design or Motion Design with a significant focus on mobile applications.
- An outstanding portfolio showcasing motion, transitions, interaction design and micro-interactions.
- Deep understanding of animation principles including timing, easing, sequencing and visual hierarchy.
- Experience creating motion systems and reusable interaction patterns.
- Strong iconography skills with experience designing consistent icon sets.
- Advanced Figma skills alongside one or more motion tools such as Rive, Lottie, After Effects, Principle or ProtoPie.
- Experience working with design systems and creating developer-ready specifications.
- Knowledge of accessibility best practice, including reduced-motion considerations.
- Experience collaborating closely with engineers throughout implementation.
About you:
- You notice when an animation feels just a little too slow.
- You know when an easing curve doesn't quite feel right.
- You care about craft but understand how to ship quickly.
- You're comfortable working in ambiguity, helping define patterns before they exist.
- Most importantly, you believe motion isn't decoration—it's a critical part of how great products communicate.
