Graphic / Motion Designer

Founded in Berlin, autarc is a ~40 person start-up who were part of Y Combinator's S24 batch in San Francisco. Our team consists of people in Sales, Marketing, Tech and Operations, with the Marketing department currently ~2 people, as we continue to grow throughout the year.

As Graphic / Motion Designer, you will join a small but extremely ambitious Marketing & Growth team that will carry our software through its global rollout. You work directly with Mariella Gradler, our Senior Marketing Manager and one of autarc's first employees, alongside a Graphic Designer and a Videographer. The team is actively growing: we are also hiring a Performance Marketing Manager and a Webflow Builder.

Your focus is motion. The majority of your work is animated content for ads, social, newsletters and the website. Beyond that, you support the team on selected static creatives when campaigns need it. You are strongest in animation, comfortable in design, and you move fast without losing quality.

You will:

• Create high-quality motion content for Meta Ads, Instagram, LinkedIn, newsletters and the website
• Build animated product videos using After Effects
• Animate existing brand assets and footage into engaging, social-first formats
• Cut and repurpose existing video material for paid and organic channels
• Support the team on static creatives: social visuals, ad formats and campaign assets based on our brand guidelines
• Create and maintain a library of reusable motion templates and design assets in After Effects and Figma
• Collaborate with our Graphic Designer and Videographer to ensure visual consistency across all formats
• Deliver multiple assets per campaign cycle quickly and independently

• 2+ years of professional experience in Motion Design
• Confident in After Effects: motion design is the core of your work, not a side skill
• Strong portfolio with motion content at its centre, ideally complemented by static design work
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere or similar)
• You have a sharp eye for brand consistency and visual quality
• You work independently and manage your own priorities
• Fluent in German and/or English

• Freedom to choose your own equipment (within a budget)
• 26 paid vacation days
• An annual team retreat
• The choice between Dance or JobRad for mobility
• The choice between Classpass or Urban Sports Club for fitness
• Regular team events, lunches and activities

If your application is successful, you will participate in the following:

• Screening call with Louis (Recruiter)
• Culture fit call (video call) with someone from the team
• Take home case study
• Final on-site interview with Etienne (CEO) and the team
