Job Description

Haus is seeking an experienced Motion Design Director to join our Los Angeles team. In this role, you will lead the motion design practice across a major account — setting the creative and technical standard for how our work moves, behaves, and feels across multiple workstreams. You will oversee and mentor a team of Motion Designers while reporting to the Creative Director, serving as the connective tissue between creative vision and motion execution at the highest level.

Requirements

What you'll do

  • Define and elevate the motion design language across workstreams — from early concept and style frames through final delivery
  • Lead, mentor, and manage a team of Motion Designers, providing creative direction, feedback, and professional development
  • Partner closely with the Creative Director and Art Directors to shape how motion informs and enhances the overall creative vision
  • Ensure consistency and quality across simultaneous workstreams, balancing big-picture direction with hands-on involvement when needed
  • Establish motion best practices, workflows, and quality standards across the team
  • Stay ahead of emerging tools, techniques, and trends — bringing new capabilities and creative possibilities to the work

What you bring

  • 8+ years of motion design experience, with at least 2 years in a leadership or directorial capacity
  • An exceptional portfolio demonstrating sophisticated motion craft across brand, campaign, and digital formats
  • Expert-level After Effects; Cinema 4D or other 3D experience strongly preferred
  • Familiarity with procedural animation, expressions, and scripting-based workflows
  • Awareness of real-time, AI-assisted, and code-based motion tools (Rive, Lottie, Cavalry, or similar)
  • Strong design fundamentals — you can shape a creative concept, not just execute one
  • Proven ability to lead and develop creative talent in a collaborative agency environment
  • Clear, confident communicator who can articulate motion decisions to CDs, ADs, and cross-functional partners

Benefits

We're a digital design studio in Los Angeles built on the belief that creativity and technology are better together. Our team is diverse, multidisciplinary, and deeply invested in the craft. We work with brands across industries, from emerging startups to household names, on projects that push what digital can do.

If you're looking for a place where your ideas are heard, your growth is supported, and the work actually matters–we'd love to meet you.

The estimated compensation for this position is $160k-$180k per year, plus a 401k, medical, dental, vision, life and optional benefits, paid time off, fun events and more.
