About the Role
You'll bring Superpower to life through movement. This role sits at the intersection of brand, product, and growth — creating motion that makes our product feel alive, our ads impossible to scroll past, and our brand unmistakably Superpower. From micro-interactions in the product to full campaign films, you'll define how Superpower moves.
We believe emotions provide as much data as logic. If something makes you feel something, that's the signal. Your work should make people feel.
What You'll Do
Create motion design across brand, product, and growth: social content, ad creative, product animations, launch videos, and more
Develop and maintain a motion language for Superpower — timing, easing, transitions, and principles that scale
Produce short-form video content for Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and other channels
Design UI animations and micro-interactions that elevate the product experience
Collaborate with brand designers, product designers, and engineers to integrate motion into every surface
Work with growth to create high-performing video ad creative — fast iteration, clear storytelling
Experiment with AI-assisted motion tools, generative video, and emerging formats
Edit and composite video — you're comfortable being both the creative director and the executor
What You Bring
3–6+ years of experience in motion design, animation, or video — at a studio, agency, brand, or in-house team
A reel that shows range: brand films, social content, UI animation, typographic motion, or experimental work
Mastery of After Effects. Strong working knowledge of Premiere, Cinema 4D, or Blender
Understanding of animation principles — timing, weight, easing — and how they serve storytelling
Ability to work fast without sacrificing craft. We move at startup speed
Comfort working across brand and product contexts — you can shift from a 60s hero film to a 3s loading animation
Collaborative, low-ego approach. You give and receive feedback directly
A genuine interest in health, science, or human performance
Nice to Have
3D animation or rendering skills (Cinema 4D, Blender, Houdini)
Experience with Lottie, Rive, or code-based animation for product
Sound design sensibility
Experience creating performance ad creative (Meta, TikTok)
Illustration or generative art background
