Job description

MBLM is looking for a Motion Designer to join their team in New York.

At MBLM, motion graphics designers understand the importance of brands and the means by which they communicate.

They work within the studio discipline and closely with other members of the team, from strategy to digital, to craft stronger emotional bonds between brands and their stakeholders.

They solve design and production challenges to create videos that are conceptually strong, beautifully designed, and expertly executed.
