Responsibilities
Kforce has a client in Los Angeles, CA that is seeking a Senior Designer/Animator to create bold, high-impact visuals for upcoming campaigns for NewFronts/Upfronts, Originals, and high profile events. This role is remote and based on the West Coast. Summary: This is a hands-on design and animation role - ideal for a versatile creative who's equally skilled at designing static frames and bringing them to life through motion. The Senior Designer/Animator will collaborate with the Creative Director and Senior Editor to develop dynamic visuals that elevate storytelling and deliver polished, brand-forward creative across editorial, digital, social, and event platforms. This role is remote and based on the West Coast. Responsibilities:

• Concept, design, and animate compelling visual assets for NewFronts/Upfronts, Original campaigns, and high profile brand events - from static keyframes, storyboards, title logo design and animated intros, to full-motion sequences
• Execute both 2D and 3D animation work, combining strong design fundamentals with technical skill and creative storytelling
• Translate creative briefs into visually cohesive designs that reflect brand identity and campaign goals
• Animate product feature or explainer content with the ability to make UI design exciting and cinematic
• Collaborate with the Creative Director and Senior Editors to establish look, tone, and pacing across deliverables
• Own projects from design through animation and final delivery, applying feedback efficiently and with strong creative judgment
• Execute both original design work and animation using existing brand toolkits and templates as needed
• QC all motion and static assets to ensure visual, color, and technical accuracy across formats
• Manage organized project files, design systems, and renders to support efficient workflows

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in motion design and static design, ideally across brand, entertainment, and sports campaigns
• Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator; Strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro and Cinema 4D (or similar 3D tools) is a plus
• Proven ability to design and animate for multiple aspect ratios and platforms (16:9, 9:16, 1:1, etc.)
• Strong eye for composition, typography, and visual hierarchy - and how those elements translate into motion
• Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to self-QC both design and animation work
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating closely with creative leadership
• A portfolio showcasing excellence in both design and animation craft, with a clear sense of storytelling and brand fluency
