• Lead motion work from concept through final delivery — product videos, explainers, product launch animations, social content, podcasts, and event visuals. • Own the full pre-production process: concepting, and storyboarding ideas into clear motion beats before a single frame is animated. • Translate complex or technical concepts into short, clear stories that a broad audience can understand and remember. • Deliver motion assets formatted for web — optimized outputs, appropriate file formats, and clear handoff specs so your work translates from production to the browser without quality loss or rework. • Contribute to event assets for live conferences — main stage visuals, screen content, ambient loops, and branded motion moments. • Edit video footage into polished, on-brand deliverables (no shooting required). • Build and extend Lumin’s motion design system: principles, behaviors, and templates that establish consistency and give others a foundation to build on. • Present work clearly to non-designers and bring stakeholders along with well-communicated creative rationale. • Actively explore and apply animation and AI tools in the motion workflow — including tools like Jitter, Cavalry, Runway, Adobe Firefly Video, and Pika — to expand what's possible and work smarter. • Support digital design needs including presentations in Google Slides and select marketing assets in Figma. • Perform other duties as assigned.

Role Description We’re looking for an Expert Animator who can bridge the gap between compelling character performance and responsive gameplay.
