About the job

Hut 8 brings exceptional people together to solve the world’s most consequential problems at the intersection of energy and technology. Today, that means building infrastructure for AI at a pace and scale without precedent. Tomorrow, it could mean powering a new era of innovation through robotics, advanced manufacturing, or an industry that does not yet exist. Whatever the technology demands, our ambition holds: to build the defining physical infrastructure company of our generation.

We look for thinkers and builders with the rigor, humility, and ownership to solve problems at this scale. They start from zero and choose truth over tradition. They back the best idea, whatever its source. They bet on themselves and embrace the hard truths that force them to grow. Our commitment is to keep the path from idea to execution short, trust them with critical decisions and the work that follows, and surround them with colleagues whose curiosity extends beyond their expertise.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Motion Designer will help bring Hut 8's brand and stories to life through motion graphics, including animations for long-and-short-form videos, quick turn posts for social channels, and projects for internal events. You'll work closely with the brand and content teams to turn ideas into polished, on-brand motion pieces.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, Figma, other design tools, a sharp eye for detail, and enthusiasm for learning from a broader creative team. This person should also be self-started with the ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visual formats that are easy to understand. The motion designer will support the production of everything from short-form social videos to explainer graphics for long-form documentaries and help expand our brand guidelines for video.

This is a hands-on, high-growth opportunity for someone looking to build their motion design career inside a fast-moving, in-house creative team.

Key responsibilities:

Design and animate motion graphics for short-form and long-form video content, social media, and internal and external presentations.

Support end-to-end production of animated content, from storyboarding through final delivery.

Create and maintain templates, lower thirds, titles, and other recurring motion graphic elements to keep content on brand.

Collaborate with producers, designers, and marketing partners to bring concepts to life within tight timelines.

Edit and enhance video footage with motion graphics, transitions, and visual effects using After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Build and maintain a library of reusable motion graphic templates, assets and MOGRTs for the broader team.

Ability to translate complex ideas into compelling visual formats that are easy to understand.

Assist with static design needs, such as social graphics, decks, and thumbnails, using tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.

Stay current on motion design trends, tools, and techniques, and bring fresh ideas to the team.

ABOUT YOU

1-3 years of experience in motion design, animation, or a related creative role (internships and freelance work count).

Proficiency in Adobe After Effects, with familiarity with other Adobe Creative Suite tools such as Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

A strong portfolio or reel demonstrating motion graphics and animation work.

A strong understanding of design principles, including typography, color, and composition.

Comfortable managing multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.

Strong communication skills and openness to feedback from senior members of the creative team.

A collaborative mindset and eagerness to grow within a hands-on creative team.

Experience with 3D motion design tools such as C4D and Blender is a plus.

Experience with AI tools for automation (Kling, Weavy) is a plus.
