SUMMARY:

The Sr. Motion Graphics Designer will leverage their visual craft, motion graphics skills and communication strengths to bring to life, ideas, messaging, and stories that will ultimately create desire for our products and build on Clinique’s brand legacy. This candidate will think and act like a digital native creator, able to concept at a high level, apply it to the current visual vernacular on each platform and bring it to life in on-brand and visually stunning moving graphics. They will be highly skilled in using different styles, approaches, and mediums to deliver fresh, inventive work.

The candidate will be responsible for working with the broader social team to conceptualize, storyboard, and create best-in-class design and animation across an array of social content as well as for tentpole moments like Holiday, Lunar New Year. They will be responsible for developing creative execution and concepts across Clinique’s social media channels, including but not limited to: Instagram, TikTok, Snap, YouTube as well as emerging platforms. On one day, they could be applying moving type onto a make up tutorial or an OTV. On another, they will be concepting a graphic treatment to help tie an entire content franchise together. Some days, the concept’s execution will be centered around motion graphics to tell the entire story.

The ideal candidate will thrive during all parts of the creative process: concept, design development, design production, and delivery of compelling visuals and systems that will resonate with a diverse global audience -- and is excited to push the boundaries of visual storytelling for the brand and the beauty industry at large.

Equally important is their curiosity on what’s next in social. The candidate must be passionate for what’s happening now and next in social and digital platforms. As well, they have strong curiosity about AR, 3D modeling and emerging creative products and technologies. In short, they should be able to bring new ideas to the table, push the boundaries of what’s expected and be a champion for technological innovation and creative evolution for Clinique.
