Senior Motion Designer

SENIOR MOTION DESIGNER – CHAPTER 3

ABOUT CHAPTER 3

Chapter 3 Graphics, part of the Whisper Group, is an award-winning creative studio specialising in motion design, broadcast graphics, live events, branded content and immersive visual experiences.

While sport sits at the heart of what we do, our work extends far beyond it.

We collaborate with broadcasters, brands, rights holders, production companies and event organisers to create content that informs, entertains and inspires audiences around the world.

From title sequences and live broadcast graphics to promotional campaigns, real-time experiences and emerging technologies such as AR and AI-driven content, we help our clients tell stories in new and engaging ways.

Our clients include some of the biggest names in sport, entertainment and media, and our work is seen by millions of viewers every week.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a Senior Motion Designer who combines exceptional creative ability with the confidence and experience to lead projects.

This is not a pure management role.

We're looking for someone who loves being on the tools, crafting outstanding design and animation work, while also taking ownership of projects and helping elevate those around them.

You'll work closely with the Creative Director and GFX Producers to develop ideas, solve creative challenges and deliver world-class work across broadcast, digital, social, live events and branded content.

You'll be trusted to take projects from brief to delivery, making creative decisions independently while contributing to the wider creative direction of the studio.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Exploring new technologies, techniques and creative opportunities


• Helping shape innovative solutions that push beyond traditional broadcast graphics

• Curious about emerging technologies and new creative possibilities


• Comfortable taking ownership of projects


• Able to work independently without constant direction


• Excited by collaboration and sharing ideas


• Detail-oriented and committed to producing exceptional work


• Someone who actively looks for ways to improve both the work and the team around them.

A passion for sport is a huge advantage, but what matters most is a passion for telling stories and creating experiences that connect with audiences

ESSENTIAL SKILLS

• Strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional design and motion craft


• Advanced knowledge of After Effects and Adobe Creative Suite


• Excellent understanding of typography, composition, colour and visual communication


• Strong communication and presentation skills


• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines

• Leading projects independently from brief through to delivery, with the confidence to make creative decisions and solve challenges along the way.


• Producing work that consistently raises the creative standard of the studio and inspires those around you.
