Your role
For our Berlin headquarters, we’re looking for a Midweight Motion Designer / Animator to join our team and create short-form animated content for our music brands.
This is a hands-on animation role: you’ll be designing and animating characters, avatars, and graphics, bringing concepts to life in After Effects for ads and social platforms, while collaborating closely with the Head of Music and our Creative Lead. You’ll focus on creating engaging, playful and emotional animations that resonate with our audiences, often in children and family-friendly styles, and take full ownership of iterating and optimizing your work.
If you enjoy producing fun, versatile, character-driven animations and seeing them perform in real campaigns, this role is for you.
What you add to our crew
2+ years of experience as a Motion Designer / Animator
Strong skills in After Effects (character animation, expressions, transitions, motion systems)
Comfortable creating animations from scratch – not just editing footage
Experience with short-form animated content for ads or social media
A versatile style range (cute, playful, emotional, simple, clean)
A performance mindset: you care about what works, not just what looks good
Basic video editing skills (transitions, subtitles, voice-over sync)
Independent, fast, and reliable execution style
Fluent in English (German is a plus)
No university degree required – portfolio and mindset matter more than formal education.
