Description

We're seeking a Senior Motion Designer to join our award-winning internal creative agency at Johnson Controls. This role is ideal for a highly creative, strategically minded motion designer who brings ideas to the table—not just execution. You'll play a key role in shaping the visual storytelling of one of the world's leading smart buildings companies, delivering compelling content across video, digital, and experiential formats.

You'll collaborate closely with producers, writers, and stakeholders to conceptualize and craft motion design that elevates the Johnson Controls brand globally. As a senior team member, you'll be expected to lead by example, and contribute confidently in meetings.

How will you do it

- Creative Development: Collaborate with the creative team to concept and storyboard animated content for product explainers, campaigns, social videos, internal communications, and brand storytelling.
- Design Execution: Own the motion design process from start to finish—style frames, animation, compositing, sound, and final delivery.
- Brand Stewardship: Ensure motion graphics align with and enhance our visual identity. Push boundaries while maintaining brand coherence.
- Collaboration: Actively participate in team brainstorms, kickoffs, and stakeholder reviews. Present and defend creative decisions clearly and respectfully.
- Efficiency & Ownership: Manage multiple projects with competing deadlines while maintaining a high standard of work. Collaborate with editors, designers, and copywriters to streamline post-production workflows.
