Motion Designer

About this role

ABOUT FONIO We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months and now serve 10,000+ customers. Fonio is Europe’s market leader for AI phone agents for SMBs. Now we’re expanding globally and into new products. We move fast, take ownership, give direct feedback, and avoid politics and unnecessary meetings. Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies. YOUR ROLE As a Motion Designer at fonio, you own the entire production pipeline for video content, from pre-production through animation to post-production including sound design.

You do all of this yourself. You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage, and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website. You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands off to post-production.

We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound. YOUR RESPONSIBILITITES - Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings) - Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats - Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions - Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing.

You understand that sound is what brings product videos to life - Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos - Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why - Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements) WHAT TO EXPECT - Full ownership over all of fonio's motion output, end-to-end, no handoffs - Direct impact on an ad spend budget of over €700,000/month - Close collaboration with the Creative Strategist, Content Creator, and Marketing Lead - Short decision-making paths, fast pace, real autonomy - Access to the latest AI tools for motion (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.) WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR MUST-HAVES: - 1–3 years of experience in motion design and animation - Native in After Effects.
