YOUR ROLE
As a Motion Designer at fonio, you own the entire production pipeline for video content, from pre-production through animation to
post-production including sound design. You do all of this yourself.
You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage,
and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website.
You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands
off to post-production. We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITITES
- Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings)
- Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats
- Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions
- Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing. You understand that sound is what brings product
videos to life
- Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos
- Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why
- Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements)
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Full ownership over all of fonio's motion output, end-to-end, no handoffs
- Direct impact on an ad spend budget of over €700,000/month
- Close collaboration with the Creative Strategist, Content Creator, and Marketing Lead
- Short decision-making paths, fast pace, real autonomy
- Access to the latest AI tools for motion (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
MUST-HAVES:
- 1–3 years of experience in motion design and animation
- Native in After Effects. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint
- Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable)
- Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing,
color, sound design), all in one person
- Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring
videos to life
- Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight)
- Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion
- Fluent English, German at C1 level
NICE-TO-HAVE:
- Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools
- Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)
- Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.)
WHAT WE OFFER
- €65,000–100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience)
- On-site in Vienna
- Relocation package (if relevant)
- Top equipment and access to the latest AI tools
- Direct collaboration with founders and a strong marketing team
- A product that scales, and creatives you'll actually see live and track the performance of
