WHAT YOU OFFER US

We are seeking an accomplished and hands-on Motion & Post-Production Lead to shape and elevate the craft of motion design, CGI, and post-production within one of the world’s most advanced global creative production hubs.

This role combines creative craftsmanship with technical leadership, ensuring high-end delivery across motion graphics, special effects (SFX), visual effects (VFX), CGI, compositing, animation, color grading, and finishing.

You will lead a multi-disciplinary team of artists, animators, and editors who bring static campaigns to life — turning creative ideas into cinematic brand experiences for global clients across retail, digital, and life sciences.

Your key roles and responsibilities will include :

1. Motion & Post-Production Leadership

  • Lead the end-to-end motion and post-production pipeline, from storyboard to final delivery.
  • Drive excellence across 2D / 3D animation, compositing, tracking, rotoscoping, color grading, and finishing.
  • Collaborate closely with creative directors, producers, and account teams to interpret briefs into motion-first executions.
  • Ensure the highest visual fidelity, consistency, and adherence to brand guidelines across deliverables.

2. Creative & Technical Execution

  • Be hands-on in motion graphics, VFX, CGI, and color workflows using industry-standard tools (After Effects, Nuke, Cinema4D, Maya, Houdini, Blender, DaVinci Resolve, Flame).
  • Direct and review the work of designers, compositors, and editors to maintain the studio’s creative benchmark.
  • Introduce new motion design techniques, animation trends, and post-production workflows to enhance storytelling.
  • Supervise pack-shot adaptation, beauty retouching, and complex compositing across global campaigns.
  • 3. Workflow, Process & Quality Governance

  • Establish best practices and workflow templates for motion and post projects across short-form, digital, and broadcast media.
  • Define rendering, file-management, and QC standards to ensure delivery consistency.
  • Partner with automation and technology teams to identify automation or AI-assisted opportunities (e.g., frame clean-up, keying, upscaling, or versioning).
  • Manage studio capacity, scheduling, and quality control for multiple simultaneous projects.
  • 4. Team Development & Capability Growth

  • Lead, mentor, and upskill a team of motion designers, compositors, colorists, and editors.
  • Drive internal training on new software, motion trends, and cinematic design principles.
  • Build a strong creative feedback culture — balancing mentorship with performance accountability.
  • Partner with recruitment to onboard top creative and technical talent in the motion and post-production space.
  • 5. Collaboration & Integration

  • Work closely with regional teams (AMS, EMEA, APAC) to align motion output with campaign needs and market nuances.
  • Collaborate with the Digital, Print, and Automation teams to ensure seamless integration of motion assets in multi-channel campaigns.
  • Engage in new business pitches and creative development discussions, providing technical insight and creative elevation.
  • GREAT TO HAVE :

  • 12–18 years of experience in motion graphics, post-production, VFX, and CGI, preferably within large advertising, film, or creative-production environments.
  • Deep hands-on proficiency in :
  • Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator
  • Cinema4D, Maya, Houdini, Blender
  • Nuke, Fusion, or Flame for compositing

  • Strong understanding of animation principles, visual storytelling, lighting, camera, and timing.
  • Proven experience leading teams delivering broadcast, digital, and short-form video content at scale.
  • Strong eye for composition, detail, and brand expression through motion.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted tools for video enhancement, rotoscoping, and content generation (e.g., Runway, Sora, Pika, Topaz, Kaiber, etc.).
  • Experience collaborating with sound, music, and VO production to complete audiovisual packages.
  • PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS :

  • Experience in studio setup, pipeline design, and workflow automation for motion / VFX.
  • Exposure to AR / VR, 3D visualization, or immersive content creation.
  • Knowledge of scripting or plug-in integration for efficiency (Python, JavaScript for After Effects, or Houdini scripts).
  • Experience in color management workflows (ACES, HDR, LUTs).
  • Prior leadership in a creative production, post house, or integrated agency environment.
