About the role
Anthropic is looking for a Motion Designer to help define and evolve our brand expression through movement and animation. This role is built for someone who can create outstanding motion work while developing the foundational approaches that make our brand instantly recognizable through thoughtful animation.

• Help shape and evolve our motion design strategy, developing foundational patterns that make our brand recognizable through animation
• Build and document frameworks and standards that help teams implement motion across the organization
• Guide and mentor others in motion design principles and practices, helping them develop brand expertise
• Partner with teams across the company to elevate motion design in their projects while maintaining quality
• Take ownership of emerging motion needs across product, events, and campaigns as the practice grows
You may be a good fit if you
• Have 6+ years of motion design experience with an outstanding portfolio showing both craft and systematic thinking
• Create high‑quality motion work while building repeatable patterns that others can learn from
• Can develop motion design systems and teach others to help scale our brand expression
• Bridge individual execution with strategic thinking about how motion supports our brand
