Job Description:

Haus is seeking an experienced Motion Design Director to join our Los Angeles team. In this role, you will lead the motion design practice across a major account — setting the creative and technical standard for how our work moves, behaves, and feels across multiple workstreams. You will oversee and mentor a team of Motion Designers while reporting to the Creative Director, serving as the connective tissue between creative vision and motion execution at the highest level.

Job Responsibility:

  • Define and elevate the motion design language across workstreams — from early concept and style frames through final delivery
  • Lead, mentor, and manage a team of Motion Designers, providing creative direction, feedback, and professional development
  • Partner closely with the Creative Director and Art Directors to shape how motion informs and enhances the overall creative vision
  • Ensure consistency and quality across simultaneous workstreams, balancing big-picture direction with hands-on involvement when needed
  • Establish motion best practices, workflows, and quality standards across the team
  • Stay ahead of emerging tools, techniques, and trends — bringing new capabilities and creative possibilities to the work

Requirements:

  • 8+ years of motion design experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or directorial capacity
  • An exceptional portfolio demonstrating sophisticated motion craft across brand, campaign, and digital formats
  • Expert-level After Effects
  • Cinema 4D or other 3D experience strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with procedural animation, expressions, and scripting-based workflows
  • Awareness of real-time, AI-assisted, and code-based motion tools (Rive, Lottie, Cavalry, or similar)
  • Strong design fundamentals — you can shape a creative concept, not just execute one
  • Proven ability to lead and develop creative talent in a collaborative agency environment
  • Clear, confident communicator who can articulate motion decisions to CDs, ADs, and cross-functional partners

Nice to have:

  • Cinema 4D or other 3D experience
  • Familiarity with procedural animation, expressions, and scripting-based workflows
  • Awareness of real-time, AI-assisted, and code-based motion tools (Rive, Lottie, Cavalry, or similar)
What we offer:
  • 401k
  • medical
  • dental
  • vision
  • life insurance
  • optional benefits
  • paid time off
  • fun events
