Job Description

Our client, an iGaming company as it expands its Limassol, Cyprus team, is looking for a Video Motion Designer to define how its brands move, feel, and come to life across social media, paid marketing, and digital campaigns.

The Role:

The successful candidate will create bold, scroll-stopping motion content inspired by trading-card culture, sports, gaming, internet trends, and real-time cultural moments. Working at the intersection of brand, growth, and content, they will help define the motion language, pacing, and visual energy of each brand — producing short-form videos, animated ads, social content, product animations, and multiple creative variations across platforms. The role demands a strong balance of speed and craft.

Key Responsibilities:

• Social-first motion: Create daily animated content for Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Facebook — reels, stories, short-form videos, animated posts, promotional graphics, and card reveals
• Trading-card content: Bring pack openings, rare pulls, card releases, collector trends, player reactions, and major NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL moments to life through motion
• Bingo/social casino content: Create entertaining animated content around gameplay, wins, promotions, seasonal campaigns, features, and community moments
• Drive growth: Produce scroll-stopping motion creative for paid performance campaigns — animated ads, video variations, promotional units, and campaign assets designed to drive engagement, sign-ups, and conversion
• Motion identity: Help define and maintain a clear motion language for each brand, including animation style, pacing, transitions, typography, effects, and visual rhythm
• Reactive speed: Respond quickly to sports events, card releases, internet trends, and entertainment moments with on-brand motion creative within hours rather than days
• Video editing: Edit short-form videos using footage, product recordings, user-generated and creator content, music, sound effects, and graphic elements
• AI-powered production: Integrate AI tools into the workflow to explore ideas, generate assets, create variations, and streamline production without lowering the quality bar
• Creative variations: Adapt and optimise successful concepts across formats, placements, objectives, and audiences
• Sound and music: Use music, sound effects, and basic audio mixing to enhance pacing, emotion, impact, and storytelling
• Creative systems: Build reusable animation templates, project structures, and scalable production workflows

What Our Client Is Looking For:

• 3+ years of professional motion design experience, ideally within a high-growth startup, creative agency, gaming company, entertainment brand, consumer product, or performance-marketing environment
• A strong portfolio or showreel across social media, digital advertising, branding, short-form video, and performance creative
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro, with strong working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator
• A strong grasp of animation principles, timing, pacing, typography, composition, transitions, visual hierarchy, and storytelling
• A proven understanding of what performs across social and paid channels — designing motion for hook, attention, and conversion, not aesthetics alone
• Strong editing skills across footage, music, voice-over, sound effects, transitions, subtitles, and short-form storytelling
• The ability to turn a product feature, pack opening, card reveal, sporting event, promotion, or trend into a clear, engaging motion concept
• Proven experience with, or a deep and active interest in, AI-assisted creative tools
• Strong prioritisation skills and the ability to deliver high-quality work under tight timelines
• The ability to create and resize assets across formats, aspect ratios, languages, placements, and platforms
• A collaborative approach with graphic designers, marketers, social media managers, and editors
• A growth mindset suited to a fast-paced, collaborative, on-site environment

Nice to Have:

• A genuine interest in trading cards, collectibles, and pack-opening culture
• Strong knowledge of American sports, particularly the NBA, NFL, MLB, or NHL
• Familiarity with card grading, major trading-card sets, rare pulls, and collector communities
• Experience with gaming, bingo, social casino, entertainment, or mobile-app brands
• A strong understanding of internet culture, memes, creators, and emerging video trends
• Experience creating performance marketing ads for US audiences
• Experience with 3D software such as Cinema 4D or Blender
• Skills in character animation, illustration, compositing, visual effects, or advanced sound design
• Experience working with user-generated content, creators, influencers, or livestream footage

What's on Offer:

• Competitive salary based on experience and market benchmarks (Annual Salary Range: EUR 42,000 - 60,000 gross)
• The opportunity to help shape and grow two emerging digital entertainment brands
• Direct collaboration with senior leadership and exposure to strategic decision-making
• Professional development opportunities and conference attendance
• Significant creative ownership and the freedom to influence how the brands look and communicate
• A tight-knit culture that values ownership, speed, creativity, and impact
