As Motion Designer, Core Brand, you'll help define and evolve the brand through movement and animation, creating foundational approaches that make the brand recognisable. Brand Design touches every visual part of Anthropic and Claude; you'll report to the Head of Brand Design and join a growing motion practice alongside illustration and brand design leads, working closely with designers, external partners and cross-functional teams.

• Partnering with teams company-wide to improve motion in their projects while keeping quality high
• Taking ownership of emerging motion needs across product, events and campaigns as the practice grows

What we're looking for

• Six or more years of motion design experience, with a strong portfolio showing both craft and systematic thinking

• Strong collaboration with product, engineering, research, marketing and other teams
• Keeping current on motion tools and recommending the right ones for different needs
• Balancing creative exploration with practical constraints in a fast-paced setting
• Interest in helping build a motion practice and taking on more responsibility over time
