Role
Who you are

- You are bursting with ideas about how to translate a brand into movement. You can look at a static image and think about how to make it come to life in a meaningful and effective way
- Mentoring and educating others about motion is something you love to do
- You’re able to work autonomously. If given an idea or creative brief you know what questions you need to ask to quickly get started on it
- You’re a self-starter.. Someone who looks for opportunities to push a brand’s motion design with new creative ideas and doesn't necessarily need to be told to do so
- You’ve got a big imagination and you love to use it. You don’t see just one solution to a problem, you see many which means finding something that works for everyone is just a couple sketches away

We might not have external clients but all teams within Jobber are our clients so we work with them to understand, support, explain, and pitch to them no matter their experience with brand, marketing, or design
- You thrive on giving and receiving feedback. Some ideas will be great and others will be stinkers. You understand that not every idea will be a winner and that doesn’t phase you
- Experience as a motion graphic designer in a professional environment
- A portfolio showcasing best-in-class motion design
- Expert understanding of both design principles and motion principles
- Strong sense of storytelling, timing, and keyframes as it relates to viewer attention and viewing platform
- Working knowledge of key visuals, light and sound design, sleek 2D animation (3D animation a bonus but not required)
- An expert in the tools of your craft like Adobe Premiere and After Effects
- Comfortable with a high degree of ownership
- Strong attention to detail
- Great communication skills, including written, verbal, and visual
- Excellent time management and organizational skills

What the job involves
- Reporting to the Staff Designer, the Motion Graphic Designer will create and deliver animated designs (and ideas) that elevate our brand

- You’ll work closely with designers, video producers, and other teams within Marketing to bring designs to life through motion
- Responsibilities will include (but aren’t limited to) animated GIFs, illustration animations, title sequences, paid advertising, trade show exhibits, websites, event screen design, animated openings/backgrounds, and bringing motion to static designs (like ads and social media posts)
Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
For businesses that sell home services, it can be difficult keeping up with paperwork, scheduling appointments, and chasing payments, especially when their teams are small. Jobber delivers a comprehensive toolbox to keep track of all these aspects, so that small business owners can concentrate on more important things like serving their customers and building their brand.
Jobber was founded in 2011, initially to help a friend who owned a small painting business. The founders quickly discovered that what they were building could help many more owners across a number of industries, going on to launch the product which is now used by over 200,000 professionals.
What makes Jobber stand out is that it collects all the vital parts of running a home services business into one place, removing the burden of keeping track of multiple sources of information. The company has seen significant funding which it has invested in R&D and growing its customer base, and boasts four consecutive years on The Globe and Mail's Canada's Top Growing Companies List.
