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. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint

Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable)

Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing, color, sound design), all in one person

Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring videos to life

Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight)

Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion

Fluent English, German at C1 level

Nice-to-have:

Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools

Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.)

What We Offer

€65,000–100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience)

On-site in Vienna

Relocation package (if relevant)

Top equipment and access to the latest AI tools

Direct collaboration with founders and a strong marketing team

A product that scales, and creatives you'll actually see live and track the performance of
