The Template and Motion Designer will be a hands-on creative responsible for delivering new on-trend templates, animations, text styles, and presets customers can apply and customized for use in their own projects.

    This role sits at the intersection of creative excellence and production reality. You will design and build templates, establish reusable motion systems, and set the quality bar for work produced by Adobe. Your work will be augmented by a team of freelancers, agencies, and community creators.

    • Partner closely with the Creative Director to translate visual direction into executable motion systems and production-ready assets.
    • Help define what “great” looks like in template usability, flexibility, and creative polish. Set guidelines for motion design, hierarchy, timing, and animation curves across all content types.
    • Work with the Producer to scope, estimate, and plan animation work for monthly content drops.
    • Contribute to briefs, references, and production guidelines used by external designers and animators.
    • Ensure all templates meet product requirements, technical specs, and publishing standards.
    • Collaborate with product and engineering partners to push template capabilities and explore new features.

    ** What you need to succeed**

    • 5+ years of experience in motion design, video editing, or template-based content creation.
    • Deep expertise in Adobe tools, especially Premiere Pro, After Effects, and related workflows.
    • Proven experience building reusable templates, presets, or motion systems for creators or products.
    • A portfolio showing strong design instincts across typography, layout, rhythm, and visual storytelling.
