Motion Designer – 5+ Million Subscribers Network (Remote / Full-Time)

We run a fast-growing YouTube documentary channel. High-production, narrative-driven — not explainer trash. We're scaling and need a motion designer who can match the visual bar we're setting.

What you'll be doing

Motion graphics for long-form documentaries: maps, timelines, data visualizations, title cards, lower thirds, transitions, full scene animations. The benchmark is Magnates Media and THIRD Network. If those names mean nothing to you, watch them before you apply.

What we need

- After Effects — non-negotiable, don't waste our time otherwise
- Map animation: territorial shifts, troop movements, trade routes
- Clean type animation and data viz
- A portfolio showing actual motion work — static design doesn't count
- Ability to execute from a script or storyboard with minimal back-and-forth
- Speed — we publish regularly and need someone who keeps up
- Sharp eye for timing, easing, and polish

Nice to have

- Background in historical or documentary content
- Premiere Pro familiarity for clean handoff
- Basic sound design sensibility, or at least knowing when to leave space for it

How to apply

Submit a portfolio link plus two or three examples relevant to documentary-style motion work. One sentence on why you're the right fit. Skip the cover letter — your work speaks louder.
