Senior Motion Designer

Who We Are

&Dave create and strengthen space and place brands, change perceptions, and bring environments to life. We’re driven by good ideas and continually seek the uncomfortable to better our worlds. Above all we keep things simple, open and honest, and bring a sense of fun to everything we do.

We are a close group of 14 with big ambitions to grow our team and diversify our client base in 2026. We are looking for an inquisitive, brave, and joyful person who wants to be an integral part of that journey.

We hustle, win pitches and create work we are proud of, but in between, we get on: we laugh, turn up the music, eat good food, embrace our inner geeks, explore new places together… and encourage mischief. We know that happy people create great work.

What we're looking for

We're seeking an experienced and highly creative Senior Motion Designer to shape, elevate, and deliver motion design across our growing portfolio of brands, environments, and experiences.

Driven by storytelling, craft, and movement, you’ll bring a strong point of view and the confidence to lead motion from concept through to final delivery - translating complex ideas into clear, compelling work and championing motion as a core part of our brand thinking.

This is a hands-on senior role. You’ll lead motion output across multiple projects, collaborating closely with creative, strategy, and client teams, while helping push the studio’s motion capabilities forward - creatively and technically.

You work at the intersection of high-end motion design and emerging technology. You understand AI as a tool, not a shortcut—using it to support ideation and efficiency while maintaining craft, brand fidelity, and emotional intent.

Based in our London Bridge studio, you’ll work across a range of clients and briefs, owning execution across brand films, digital content, environmental screens, and experiential touchpoints, and helping guide how new tools are integrated responsibly.

You’re a doer and a leader: confident, collaborative, and curious. With 5+ years’ studio or agency experience, you’re comfortable presenting ideas, open to feedback, and motivated to keep learning and evolving your craft.
