Motion Designer
Job Description
The role
A motion designer with 3-4 years of experience in design or production studios. You are an expert animator, motion generalist with a proven passion for 3D. You’re fired up about what you do because you believe you can change the world for the better.
Who we are
DixonBaxi is a group of people who make beautiful, original brands that change the world for the better. We’re fuelled by creativity and reject convention. We are trusted by some of the world’s most interesting companies, including Hulu, Audible, AT&T, ITV X, British Land, IMAX, Konami, Channel 4, Eurosport, Netflix and AC Milan. Brands that seek to be brave and challenge convention
We partner with brands and in-house creative teams across the world from our London studio. We seek revolution rather than evolution and embrace change to remain fiercely original.
What we believe
Great design is born of difference; we constantly seek new perspectives and identities to build our team. We’re a vibrant, eclectic, open group of people from Seattle, Lagos, New Zealand and everywhere in between, which makes for a rich environment full of ideas
DixonBaxi is a place of growth. A positive and diverse culture makes us all do great things. The creative studio atmosphere allows everyone to develop new skills, try new things and never settle. We are open-minded and adapt to new ways of working or thinking constantly. We foster access, opportunity and success for everyone.
Our studio home is based in London (N1), and we come together at least 3 days a week to enjoy the space, collaborate and time together. Studio time and our wonderful surroundings are very important for creativity to thrive. Working together enables us to approach new ideas and inventions creatively and to enjoy the journey.
We care about the team and always look for new ways of working and supporting each other. Our 4.5-day week is a good example, and Friday lunches - the weekly thank you!
Our benefits include Mental Health Support, gym membership discounts and a cycle-to-work scheme. We encourage travel overseas to meet our clients and embrace the opportunity to do things together (like our Barcelona trip to the OFFF conference last year).
As for the fun stuff - we come together every Wednesday to celebrate projects, birthdays and workiversaries. There is the opportunity for each person to shout out thanks to other team members.
Who you are
You love creativity. You love invention. You believe it is worth the effort to create the very best work. You’re looking to inspire and define motion languages and systems for some of the world’s most dynamic and interesting brands. So you’re ready for more: more responsibility, more experimentation, more of a challenge and more room to grow.
What you do
These are just some of the skills we would expect a motion designer to have. We know that brilliance comes in many forms and our minds are always open.
