Hands-On Creation: Remain deeply hands-on. You will be expected to personally design and animate on key projects, especially high-profile brand films and campaign launches. Client & Agency Collaboration: Work closely with Creative Directors, Art Directors, and clients to understand vision, present concepts, and articulate the rationale behind creative decisions. Technical Excellence & Innovation: Push the technical and creative boundaries of motion design. Explore and integrate new techniques, software, and technologies to keep Alien Hours at the forefront of the industry. Versatility: Seamlessly switch between diverse styles and project types, from sleek commercial advertising and explosive title sequences to thoughtful documentary graphics and experimental art pieces. What You Bring (Qualifications): 4+ years of professional motion design experience, with a significant portion spent in a creative or advertising agency environment. Proven experience leading, mentoring, and managing a team of designers. You know how to get the best work out of your crew. An exceptional portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of motion design principles, storytelling, and technical skill across a wide range of projects (advertising campaigns, film titles, broadcast graphics, etc.). Expert-level proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D (or other 3D software), and the Adobe Creative Suite. A director's eye for composition, pacing, and narrative. You think in sequences, not just shots. Outstanding communication and presentation skills. You can sell a big idea to a client and provide clear, constructive feedback to your team.

You'll be mentored by industry veterans, work on real client briefs, and see your ideas come to life.

Write & Refine: Draft compelling, clear, and concise copy for a wide range of deliverables, from Twitter threads and email sequences to video scripts and website landing pages. Find the Voice: Immerse yourself in our clients' brands to discover and consistently articulate their unique voice and tone. Learn & Adapt: Actively participate in creative reviews, absorb feedback from directors and clients, and relentlessly refine your work until it's perfect.

A Natural Wordsmith: You have an impeccable command of grammar and a passion for the rhythm and flow of language. You know when to be punchy and when to be poetic. A Conceptual Thinker: You see the big idea first and the words second. You understand that a great line is nothing without a great thought behind it. A Digital Native: You intuitively understand the nuances of different social platforms and what kind of content captivates an audience on each. Resilient & Eager: You have a thick skin, a collaborative spirit, and an insatiable appetite to learn, improve, and create brilliant work.
