400M+ downloads. 75M+ monthly users. A decade of building – and we’re still accelerating.
Flo is the world’s #1 health app on a mission to build a better future for female health. Backed by a $200M investment led by General Atlantic, we became the first product of our kind to reach a $1B valuation in 2024 – and we’re not slowing down.
With 6M paid subscribers and the highest-rated experience in the App Store’s health category, we’ve spent 10 years earning trust at scale. Now, we’re building the next generation of digital health – AI-powered, privacy-first, clinically backed – to help our users know their body better.
The job
We’re looking for an animator who can turn insight into emotion – creating compelling, expressive character animations that make our content more human, more delightful, and more impactful. From in-app journeys to social content to product storytelling, you’ll help shape how Flo looks, moves, and feels.
This is a rare chance to join a mission-driven team combining creative craft with scientific credibility – and to use animation as a force for good in the lives of millions.
* Start ASAP
* 6-month contract
* Competitive day rate (outside IR35)
* No agencies / no visa sponsorship
Your Experience
Must have:
* A strong portfolio or reel showcasing your character animation work (including a breakdown)
* 5+ years of experience in character animation, ideally within a creative tech, gaming, or product environment
* Expertise in expressive motion: emotion, gesture, timing, humor, and storytelling
* Solid understanding of animation fundamentals: weight, spacing, staging, appeal
* Experience using tools such as Adobe After Effects, Rive, or similar
* The ability to work flexibly and collaboratively in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment
Nice to have:
* Experience mentoring or giving feedback to other animators
* Familiarity with shipping animations in product environments (e.g. Lottie/JSON pipelines)
* Passion for building more inclusive, accessible, and engaging visual content for diverse audiences
What You'll Be Doing
You'll be responsible for:
* Creating engaging 2D/3D characters and animations that connect with users and enhance learning and awareness
* Contributing to the evolution of Flo’s visual identity and character-driven storytelling
* Collaborating closely with Product, Content, Brand, and Engineering teams to bring ideas to life
* Thinking across touchpoints – in-app, social, video, web – adapting your work for multiple formats and audiences
* Owning animation projects end-to-end, from early concept and rough passes to polished final renders
* Staying aligned with timelines, tools, and technical pipelines while pushing for creative excellence

We support impact with meaningful reward. Here’s what that looks like:
* Competitive salary and annual reviews
* Opportunity to participate in Flo’s performance incentive scheme
