Creative
Motion Designer
More Than Motion
We're looking for someone who understands that motion isn't decoration. It's storytelling.
At TwoMedia, motion sits at the intersection of strategy, creativity and performance. Sometimes you'll be crafting a premium brand film. Other times you'll be building social-first content that needs to stop a thumb in half a second. The medium changes, but the thinking doesn't.
We care about people who bring ideas to the table, not just animations.
We're a team that collaborates closely, challenges each other respectfully, shares knowledge freely and takes genuine pride in producing exceptional work. Everyone here has a voice, regardless of their title, and the best ideas often come from unexpected places.
If you're naturally curious, obsessed with your craft, and enjoy solving creative problems alongside talented people, we'd love to meet you.
The Role
As a Motion Designer, you'll work across a wide range of brands, industries and campaign types.
You'll collaborate with strategists, designers, copywriters and digital specialists to bring ideas to life across social, digital, web, presentations, advertising and video.
No two weeks look the same.
One day you might be animating a product launch. The next you're creating social-first motion assets, building title sequences, editing campaign films or experimenting with AI-powered creative workflows.
We're looking for someone who's comfortable owning projects, contributing creatively and delivering work to a consistently high standard without needing constant direction.
What You'll Be Doing
- Create high-quality motion graphics across digital and social platforms.
- Animate campaign assets for Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok and YouTube.
- Edit short-form and long-form video content.
- Develop animated brand systems and visual identities.
- Create titles, transitions and motion language for campaigns.
- Produce content optimised for multiple aspect ratios and platforms.
- Work closely with designers to extend static creative into motion.
- Collaborate with copywriters and strategists during concept development.
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
- Stay on top of new trends, techniques and AI-powered creative tools.
What We're Looking For
- 3-5 years' experience in a creative agency or production environment.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating motion design, editing and storytelling.
- Excellent creative judgement and attention to detail.
- Strong typography and composition skills.
- Good understanding of pacing, rhythm and visual hierarchy.
- Comfortable taking ownership of projects from concept through delivery.
- Able to present and explain creative decisions confidently.
- Strong organisational and time management skills.

Culture Fit
This matters just as much as your portfolio.
We're looking for someone who:
- Is genuinely collaborative.
- Gives credit freely and takes feedback well.
- Is proactive rather than reactive.
- Takes pride in doing the little things properly.
- Wants to keep learning.
- Is generous with knowledge.
- Solves problems instead of waiting for instructions.
- Leaves their ego at the door.
- Cares about the success of the team, not just their own work.
We're an office-first agency because we believe great work happens when talented people collaborate in person. We also value flexibility, trust and autonomy. We measure success by the quality of the work, the value we create for our clients, and the contribution we make to the team, not by hours spent behind a screen.
Why TwoMedia?
We're building the kind of agency we'd want to work at.
You'll work on ambitious brands across South Africa and internationally, alongside people who genuinely care about their craft. You'll have room to grow, contribute ideas, explore emerging technology and help shape the future of an independent agency that's raising the standard of modern marketing.
