Job Description - Senior 3D Animator

Are you an experienced 3D Animator ready to take creative ownership and help shape standout
animation projects from concept to final delivery? We create high -quality TV ads, explainer videos, product demos and branded content. We’re looking for a talented and technically strong 3D Animator who can elevate our work, bring ideas to life with confidence, and play a key role within our growing studio. This isn’t an entry -level role — we’re looking for someone who can lead sequences, solve complex creative and technical challenges, and contribute to the development of our animation pipeline.


The Role

As a Senior 3D Animator, you will:

● Lead the creation of high -quality 3D animations from storyboard through to final render.
● Take ownership of projects or key sequences, ensuring creative excellence and technical precision.
● Collaborate closely with directors, designers, editors and clients to bring creative visions to life.
● Develop and refine 3D assets for animation, VFX projects.
● Design and implement advanced lighting, shading and rendering setups to achieve broadcast -quality results.
● Handle complex animation tasks including character animation, product animation, simulations and motion graphics.
● Contribute to compositing, post -production and final delivery workflows.
● Optimise scenes and troubleshoot technical challenges efficiently.
● Help improve studio workflows, pipelines and production processes.
● Mentor and support junior animators where required.
● Stay ahead of industry trends, tools and emerging technologies.



What We’re Looking For


● 3+ years’ professional experience in 3D animation (studio or agency environment preferred).
● Strong proficiency in Blender (our primary tool). Experience in Maya and/or Cinema 4D is highly
transferable.
● Excellent understanding of animation principles, timing, weight and performance.
● Strong knowledge of lighting, rendering and material workflows.
● Experience with compositing and post -production processes.
● Solid grasp of composition, colour theory and visual storytelling.
● Understanding of rigging and scene optimisation.
● Ability to interpret briefs and contribute creatively — not just execute.
● Strong problem -solving ability and attention to detail.
● Confident communicator, comfortable working collaboratively and, where required, client -facing.
● Excellent organisation and time management skills.
A strong, professional showreel demonstrating high -quality, finished work is essential.


Desirable (But Not Essential)

● Experience working on TV or broadcast advertising.
● Understanding of good design principles.
● Knowledge of simulations (cloth, particles, rigid body).
● Motion design experience.
● Experience building or refining production pipelines.


Why Join Us?


● Work on high -quality commercial and broadcast projects.
● Be part of a growing creative studio with real opportunity to shape its direction.
● Collaborate with a passionate, ambitious team.
● Contribute creatively — your ideas will matter.
