Job Description

Introducing Zinc Network

For over fifteen years, Zinc Network has been helping governments and businesses navigate the world's most complex challenges using communications, technology, and behavioural science. We work on some of the toughest briefs: protecting children online, strengthening democratic resilience, and championing purpose-driven technologies and organisations.

Working in partnership with a global network of media outlets, communities, and influencers, we help clients understand complex issues, design and deliver behavioural interventions, create compelling campaigns, activate trusted grassroots networks, and evaluate impact.

We're now building Kora — our AI-powered platform that systematises this expertise into scalable technology, enabling clients to work faster, more impactfully, and more cost-effectively.

We're looking for people who want to operate at the intersection of geopolitics, security, and technological disruption, and who are committed to building a safer, more secure world.

About the role

We are looking for an SC-cleared Motion Graphics Designer to join our team, helping to create work

that makes a real difference on social issues. Please note, you must have a valid UK government

security clearance (SC) – this is not the same as a DBS check or other forms of due diligence.

The Motion Graphics Designer will be a hands-on creative thinker and will take responsibility for

developing and creating engaging, innovative animated content.

Preferably based in London, you will be full of ideas about how to turn a brief into engaging and

visually appealing motion graphics assets. You’ll have excellent design skills, and will be as

comfortable working with Adobe Creative Suite as you are with Canva. Ideally you’ll also be willing

and able to create other (non-motion) design assets as needed.

You’ll need to have a grasp of what creative content works well across social platforms. You’ll be on

top of the latest digital trends and developments, ensuring that your content is ahead of the game.

Crucially, the way in which you interpret a brief must include standalone thinking for each of the

platforms and placements so that content always feels native and unique to each channel and its

audience.

You will have experience of making a wide range of motion graphics and animated content from start

to finish.

Ideally, you will speak one or more Eastern European languages (please indicate which on your

application) – however, we will also accept applicants who do not have these languages. You’ll also

need excellent spoken and written English.

What you’ll be doing:

• Developing standalone motion graphics content

• Generating ideas and creative concepts as part of wider campaign brainstorms within the

internal project teams

• Ensuring that all content created is optimised for specific social channels, taking into account

standard text spaces, safe zones, accessibility considerations etc.

Requirements

Creative skills required:

• Confident user of Adobe CC

• Excellent motion graphics skills and a strong portfolio of existing work

• Copywriting and video editing skills also desirable

Social experience required:

• Experience of bringing campaigns to life across multiple digital platforms

• An understanding of formats required for a range of social channels, including Telegram,

YouTube, Instagram and TikTok

• Keen awareness of current digital trends including both content and formatting

• Sound editorial judgement and the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of your content

Other experience required:

• Motivated self-starter, flexible and adaptable to change

• Eastern European languages preferred but not essential

• Comfortable developing content, presenting and communicating in English

• This is a UK-based role (London preferred). Will also consider candidates based in the EU.
