Senior / Staff Brand Designer - Motion & Video
Location: Victoria Station, London, UK
Work style: Full-time, in-office 4 days/week
Package: £80,000 - £100,000
Our client is a fast-growing global fintech solving unique problems in the finance industry.
This is an opportunity to join a company in an exciting phase of growth and evolution, offering a rare opportunity to shape its brand, influence creative direction, and help define how it shows up on a global stage. You’ll join a small team of industry-leading design professionals who have worked at companies such as Meta and Google.
Role Overview
We’re looking for a Senior / Staff Brand Designer to set the bar for motion and video
storytelling. You’ll create premium work that pushes our visual brand language
into the motion space. With a focus on making complex ideas feel clear, modern and
human - you’ll own everything from product explainers and launch films to customer
stories, website motion and social-first edits.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone with strong creative leadership and
a clear urge to push things forward. You’ll own high-impact projects end-to-end,
influence direction through your craft and storytelling instincts and help define how
motion shows up across our ecosystem - from website and campaigns to product
surfaces and always-on channels. You’ll also help build the patterns, templates and
workflows that enable motion to scale with consistency.
This role is based in London, UK, in a hybrid work environment requiring being in-office 4
days per week.
Responsibilities
You will:
● Lead motion and video work for major launches and storytelling moments - owning
projects from concept, scripting and storyboarding through animation, editing,
sound and final delivery.
● Bring strong narrative thinking - shaping structure, pacing and clarity by stitching
together interviews, product capture, voiceover, typography, graphics and music.
● Create high-quality storytelling content across formats - product explainers,
launch videos, customer case studies, campaigns and short-form social.
● Design with multi-platform support in mind, ensuring outputs scale across website,
product surfaces, social channels, YouTube, CRM and presentations without losing
intent or quality.
● Define and evolve how motion shows up in the brand - establishing principles,
patterns and reusable templates that help teams ship consistent, premium motion.
● Partner with Brand, Marketing, Product and Design leadership to shape briefs,
align stakeholders and ensure storytelling maps to business goals.
● Raise the craft bar through hands-on work, critique and mentorship -
strengthening motion capability across the team without direct line management.
● Build scalable production workflows - including guidance on process, versioning,
specs, review loops and partner management when using external studios.
● Drive experimentation with new tools and AI-enabled workflows that improve
quality, speed and iteration and help the team adopt what works.
● Bring clarity to ambiguity, making smart trade-offs that protect the core story while
maintaining pace.
You will have:
● 7+ years of experience creating motion design and video work (in-house, startup,
agency or studio, or a combination).
● A portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft and storytelling - including launch
work, explainers, brand motion, social edits and customer stories.
● Strong motion fundamentals - timing, pacing, composition, typography and visual
hierarchy - with a clear creative point of view.
● Proven ability to take projects from idea to finished output, navigating ambiguity,
feedback and tight timelines with confidence.
● Experience setting a quality bar and scaling output through reusable templates,
systems and process improvements.
● Strong cross-functional leadership through influence - able to align stakeholders,
shape briefs and make decisions that move work forward.
● Strong production judgement - balancing ambition with constraints and knowing
what to simplify to ship without losing quality.
● A learning mindset toward evolving workflows - including comfort adopting new
tools and AI-enabled processes where they meaningfully improve outcomes.
● Ideally, some experience in fintech or financial services (or similarly complex or
regulated domains), with an interest in simplifying complex ideas through motion
and video.
