This Motion Designer role balances the rigor of a central motion design system with the versatility to concept and craft bespoke, show-stopping motion for critical brand moments. The position suits a nimble, craft-obsessed motion designer who can fluidly move between building scalable motion infrastructure and developing dynamic, impact-focused creative solutions.

Balance systems and bespoke craft, seamlessly oscillating between scaling the central motion design system and executing custom, high-visibility animation across campaigns, events, digital, and video
Architect and maintain central motion systems, championing Okta's motion guidelines and infrastructure
Design, document, and maintain modular After Effects project templates, Essential Graphics (MOGRTs), and reusable motion libraries that make on-brand motion accessible to internal collaborators and external agency partners
Deliver high-impact event experiences, concepting and executing bespoke motion packages for owned flagship events (Oktane) and major industry activations (AWS re:Invent, RSAC, NRF, etc.)
Craft immersive keynote walk-in loops, speaker intros, and environmental stage graphics tailored to custom LED dimensions and experiential spaces
Craft standout brand and campaign motion, partnering with the Senior Motion Designer and Creative Leads to translate high-level campaign briefs into expressive motion graphics, kinetic typography, and animated concepts that elevate product launches, brand announcements, and company milestones
Drive dynamic social and digital storytelling, bringing fresh energy, pacing, and visual wit to social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, X) and digital touchpoints
Translate complex enterprise security and AI narratives into captivating, scroll-stopping visual content
Elevate video and branded content, collaborating with video editors and producers on title sequences, kinetic type treatments, UI animations, and motion graphic overlays for customer case studies, product sizzles, and brand films
Push the boundaries of brand motion, experimenting and exploring new kinetic expressions for the Okta visual identity
Test how the visual language, iconography, and graphic elements behave dynamically across 2D and 3D spaces
Own motion assets from initial styleframes and storyboarding through final animation, audio sync, rendering, compression, and delivery across broadcast, web, social, and non-standard event display formats
Requirements
3+ years of dedicated motion design experience in-house at a fast-paced tech company, creative branding agency, or motion studio, demonstrating equal strength in system building and bespoke creative execution
Demonstrated ability to balance disciplined, organized systems thinking (templates, toolkits, brand consistency) with the agility and creative fire needed to craft inventive, one-of-a-kind motion moments
