About Us

MoveUp Studio is a motion design and digital content studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. We specialise in premium, highly custom animations for B2B SaaS and tech companies. Think product feature explainers, social cutdowns, paid ads, and event promos. Our work is bespoke, never templated. We care about quality and we're building something worth being part of.

The Role

We're looking for a talented motion designer to join our small, collaborative team. To be upfront: this starts as project-based work, not a full-time position. We have an immediate project ready to go, with a minimum of 40 hours/month.
Here's what matters though. We're a growing studio actively scaling our client base. The right person who delivers great work and shows commitment will see that reflected in more consistent projects and a bigger role over time. We want to find someone who grows with us, not someone we have to keep rehiring for.

What You'll Be Doing

Creating motion graphics and animations in After Effects
Working from design files and storyboards to produce polished final animations
Exporting and optimising assets for web, social, and digital ad formats
Collaborating with our designers and production lead to hit deadlines and maintain quality
Contributing ideas and creative solutions, not just executing briefs

What We Need From You

Technical skills:

Strong proficiency in Adobe After Effects (non-negotiable)
Solid working knowledge of the broader Adobe Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro)
Ability to export in multiple formats optimised for different platforms
Clean, organised project files

Who you are:

Trustworthy. We give you responsibility and expect you to own it.
A strong communicator. You flag issues early, ask questions when things aren't clear, and keep us updated without being chased.
Efficient. You manage your time well and deliver on deadline.
A fast learner. You pick up new styles, techniques, and feedback quickly.
A creative thinker and problem solver. You don't just follow instructions. You think about how to make the work better.

What We Offer

A real path to consistent work. We're not looking for a one-off freelancer. If you prove yourself on early projects, you'll be the first person we call as work grows. Our pipeline is building and we need reliable people we trust.
A collaborative remote culture. We're a small team that genuinely enjoys working together. You'll have a voice, not just a task list.
Creative projects that push you. We're always trying to create better work. You won't be churning out the same thing on repeat.
Flexibility and trust. We don't micromanage. We trust you to do great work and manage your own time. In return, we expect your best effort and strong communication.

How to Apply

Please send:

Your portfolio or showreel. We want to see your motion work specifically (not just static design).
A short message about why you think you'd be a good fit for MoveUp Studio. Be specific. Tell us what stood out to you about us and what you'd bring to the team.

Generic applications without a portfolio or a personalised message won't be considered.
We're excited to find the right person. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
