Technical Animator

We're looking for an experienced Technical Animator to join our Creative Services team. This is a highly technical animation role where attention to detail really matters. You'll be producing a wide range of digital and motion content, including video, TV advertising, film visual effects and bespoke animations.

While strong creative animation skills are essential, this role has a strong technical focus. A deep understanding of Adobe After Effects, particularly building files to support templating, is key. You'll be someone who obsesses over detail, takes pride in precision, and enjoys delivering work to an exceptionally high standard, even at pace.

You'll work closely with Project Managers, Creative Directors and Account teams to ensure briefs are fully understood and delivered accurately, efficiently and on time.

Key Responsibilities:

• Interpreting and understanding complex creative briefs
• Producing high-quality animation and motion content across a variety of digital and broadcast formats
• Building well-structured, technically robust After Effects files suitable for both manual output and templating
• Working closely with creative, technical, operations and client service teams to deliver outstanding content
• Being meticulous with quality assurance, reviewing final outputs to ensure accuracy and consistency
• Providing accurate time estimates for projects and delivering against agreed SLAs
• Working to defined creative guidelines when adapting existing assets or creating new content from scratch
• Thriving under pressure while maintaining accuracy, detail and speed
• Identifying opportunities to add value, improve efficiency and optimise project builds
• Communicating clearly with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle
  
  

• Expert-level knowledge of Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
