About PemoLab

PemoLab is a creative and digital studio building brands, digital experiences and marketing systems for ambitious businesses.

Our work spans branding, graphic design, motion design, web design & development, UI/UX, digital products, social media, content and digital marketing.

We’re looking for a talented Motion Designer to join our creative team and take ownership of motion design across our client projects, internal brand communication and creative campaigns.

This is not simply a social media animation role.

We’re looking for someone who understands motion as a tool for branding, communication, storytelling, advertising and digital experiences.

You’ll work closely with our:

• Logo & Brand Identity Designer
• Graphic Designers
• Web Designer / Developer
• IT / Technical Team
• Digital Marketing Team
• Creative Lead / Management

One of the most important parts of this role will be translating our static brand identities into motion systems.

You’ll also work with the web and technical team to bring motion into websites, digital products and interactive experiences.

You should be able to take a brief, understand the objective, develop a motion concept, execute it professionally and deliver production-ready files.

Projects may include:

This may include:

• Micro-interactions
• Product interface animations
• Scroll-based animation concepts
• Hero-section motion
• Lottie animations
• Rive/interactive animation

You don’t need to be a developer, but you should understand how motion behaves within digital products and be comfortable collaborating with developers.

Collaboration Is a Big Part of This Role

Logo & Brand Identity Designer

You’ll translate brand identities, typography, symbols, graphic systems and visual languages into motion.

Web Designer / Developer

You’ll collaborate on website animations, landing pages, digital experiences and interactive interfaces while considering technical limitations and performance.

You’ll collaborate on digital products, technical implementation, file formats, animation delivery and interactive experiences.

Graphic Designers

You’ll adapt static campaign concepts and creative assets into motion.

Digital Marketing Team

You’ll create motion assets for Meta Ads, Google Ads, social campaigns and other digital marketing channels.

Creative Lead / Management

You’ll participate in creative reviews, respond to feedback and help maintain PemoLab’s creative standard.

Key Responsibilities

• Own motion design execution across assigned PemoLab projects.
• Translate creative briefs and brand strategies into strong motion concepts.
• Develop storyboards, style frames and motion concepts when required.
• Create polished animations and motion graphics.
• Animate logos, typography, illustrations, UI elements and graphic systems.
• Produce short-form and long-form motion content.
• Create motion assets for branding, advertising, websites, social media and digital products.

• Communicate early when a timeline needs adjustment.
• Research new motion techniques, tools and visual trends.
• Contribute ideas during brainstorming and concept development.
• Help build PemoLab’s internal motion capabilities and portfolio.

Required Skills

We’re looking for strong practical ability, not just software knowledge.

Who We’re Looking For

• Strong motion design portfolio
• Commercial motion design experience
• Strong understanding of typography and graphic design
• Ability to animate existing brand identities
• Ability to develop concepts from a brief

You don’t need experience in every industry.

We expect you to be able to understand a new brand, audience and objective and develop motion that fits.

What This Role Is NOT

This isn’t a role for someone whose primary experience is:

• Adding presets to videos
• Making basic CapCut templates
• Creating generic social media animations
• Reusing templates without creative development
• Animating without understanding the brand or communication objective

We’re looking for someone who sees motion as part of a larger creative system.
