Description
We're Zopa, a bank that's redefining what it feels like to work in finance. Our vision puts people front and centre, empowering everyone to aim high every day.
The Brand Design and Creative team brings Zopa's story to life across campaigns, performance marketing, and owned channels. We're looking for a Senior Motion Designer to help shape how the brand moves and make its value clear to customers.
Responsibilities:
- Own and evolve Zopa's motion principles across typography, illustration, products, and graphic devices.
- Bring campaign ideas and storyboards to life, contributing motion thinking from the earliest concepts.
- Create short-form motion for paid social and video, adapting hooks, messages, and formats for testing.
- Partner with Performance Marketing to turn live learnings into the next round of creative.
- Build useful templates, components, and asset libraries that help colleagues and partners deliver consistently.
- Make complex products and customer benefits easy to understand through clear, engaging stories.
- Produce motion for web, CRM, social, and launch communications, with care for accessibility and delivery requirements.
- Brief and review specialist production partners while maintaining Zopa's motion standards.
- Explore AI-assisted workflows for ideas, iteration, and production, applying your judgement to every output.
Requirements:
- Deep motion expertise across brand, campaign, and performance work for digital channels.
- After Effects is a core strength, with working experience of Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and video-editing workflows.
- Ability to explain your contribution, make supporting design changes, and lead the animation from idea to final delivery.
- Paid-social experience includes short-form video, testing, variants, and platform adaptation.
- Reusable systems are part of your practice: you have built templates or libraries that other people can use.
- Craft matters to you, from rhythm and timing to typography, sound, accessibility, and finish.
Added bonus:
- Fintech, financial services, or another complex product category is familiar territory.
- Experience with 3D, real-time, or generative tools would broaden the team's toolkit.
- Hands-on AI production experience includes clear quality checks before work goes live.
- Time in an in-house studio alongside specialist agencies would be useful.
Benefits:
- Flexible working arrangements, including the option to work from abroad for up to 120 days a year.
- Hybrid role requiring 2-3 days in the London office per week.
