Are you an experienced Motion Designer with a strong focus on UI animation and looking for an exciting opportunity to work on cutting-edge games? Skillsearch is assisting a leading game development studio in recruiting a Senior Motion Designer to craft dynamic motion designs that enhance player engagement and improve the game's user interface. The role primarily focuses on UI animation and gameplay-integrated motion design, with additional responsibilities in cinematic animation to support storytelling and immersion. There may also be opportunities to create visual effects, ensuring a cohesive and visually compelling player experience.

As a Senior Motion Designer, you will work closely with UI designers, narrative designers, artists, and engineers to develop and integrate animations seamlessly into gameplay and storytelling. You’ll report to the UX Director and be involved in all stages of development.

In your first few weeks in this role, you can expect to :

  • Create engaging motion design, transitions, and in-game cinematic animations.
  • Collaborate with UI designers to enhance the UI library by implementing responsive animation systems for interface components, micro-interactions, and game transitions, boosting player engagement and clarity.
  • Utilise tools like Unity Animator, Cinemachine, VFX Graph / Shader Graph, and others to develop gameplay-integrated motion design and cinematic animation, while ensuring performance optimisation.
  • Work with narrative designers to align animations with storytelling, art teams to maintain visual consistency, and VFX teams to integrate motion designs that enhance gameplay mechanics.
  • Implement animations directly into the game engine, ensuring they align with the game’s visual style and usability standards.

To apply for this Senior Motion Designer role, you will need :

  • 5 years of experience as a motion designer with cinematic and VFX skills for PC or console games.
  • Mastery of animation principles and cinematic techniques, including UI motion design and VFX.
  • Storyboarding, animatic creation, and interaction prototypes to communicate UI motion and cinematic concepts effectively.
  • Expertise with Unity tools like Cinemachine, Sequencer Integration, VFX / Shader Graph, and Profiler.
  • Proficiency in creative tools such as Adobe Suite or Blender for conceptualising and delivering motion elements.
  • Strong technical knowledge of art production processes and workflows.
  • Ability to ensure animation adheres to accessibility standards.
  • A collaborative, player-focused mindset with excellent team dynamics and studio goal alignment.
  • A proactive problem solver, able to deliver high-quality work on schedule.
  • Ability to create and maintain clear, detailed design documentation.
  • Participation in playtesting with iterative feedback on motion design.
  • Bonus Skills :

  • Experience in motion design for narrative-driven sci-fi or horror games.
  • Synchronisation of motion design with audio for cohesive audiovisual experiences.
  • Basic programming knowledge to create custom motion behaviours.
  • Understanding of in-game VFX performance, tuning, and memory budgets.
  • Position : Full-time, Permanent

    Compensation : Competitive salary, health benefits, uncapped vacation, employee stock options, and restricted token units (RTU).

    Work Location : Fully remote, with at least 4 hours of overlap with Pacific Time during weekdays. The team meets 2-3 times per year for in-person collaboration.

    Language : Fluency in English is essential for effective communication and collaboration.

    This is a fantastic opportunity for a seasoned motion designer to work with a world-class team and contribute to the creation of visually stunning, immersive games.
