Hook

WHO WE ARE We’re Hook—an award-winning creative content agency. With a collaborative, maker-centric team, and an emphasis on production-led design, we make ads, campaigns, and experiences that drive growth for the world’s most innovative brands. Our mission is to integrate creative and production to help grow brands faster. But we believe what’s most important are the people who work with us and the experience they have along the way. We want clients to think of us as the best agency they’ve ever worked with, and we want everyone at Hook to feel like this is the best job they’ve had yet. WHAT’S AN ASSOCIATE MOTION DIRECTOR AT HOOK? Associate Motion Directors are experienced leaders who are fluent in the language and practice of motion design. They are hands-on motion designers who operate alongside creative and design teams to produce industry-leading advertising content in a variety of animated mediums.

The daily challenges range from overseeing (and guaranteeing) motion design executions to directly leading conceptual motion design challenges for national and global brands/campaigns. With an existing team of motion designers in place, previous experience with team and project leadership within a rapid production environment will be a critical skill.

Provide alternative approaches when appropriate to help create new opportunities. - Seek out opportunities to promote skill advancement among motion designers by engaging in and/or creating department initiatives and discussions. - Explore and experiment with AI technologies to discover ways they can enhance motion design workflows and creative output. - Seek out opportunities to enrich our existing culture within the department and organization. WHAT YOU’LL NEED - 7+ years of hands on 2D After Effects motion experience - 2+ years of managing teams or leading projects - An expert understanding of the 12 Principles of Animation - A strong motion reel or portfolio that demonstrates your abilities as an animator - Expert proficiency in After Effects and Premiere Pro - Working knowledge of Cinema 4D and Redshift - Working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma - Deep knowledge of various video & audio formats and when to use them - A thorough understanding of project management and motion production workflows - Have direct experience (and an enthusiasm for) team leadership and mentorship - An outlook that embraces challenges and new methods of thinking WHAT ELSE Qualified applicants will include a resume and a statement of interest that lets us learn a little more about you. We are a remote first organization with a “work from wherever (within the US)” approach. We're a collaborative group of people who love the internet and want to create phenomenal work. Company benefits include health, dental, matching 401k, paid vacation and holidays, and more. At Hook we value what makes everyone different, we look for the best talent no matter the background.
