Every business is moving faster, but legal work is still too often scattered across inboxes, chats, documents, and disconnected systems.\nWordsmith brings that work into one system. Requests come in from across the business, AI agents handle the routine, lawyers stay in control where judgment matters, and every step is captured as work happens.\nWe are built for in-house legal, not law firms. Our goal is to help legal teams move faster, reduce unnecessary external counsel spend, and become a function the business can run with.\nMore than 500 companies, including Financial Times, Safelite, Trip.com, Canva, Starling, and Sage, use Wordsmith. Backed by $100M from Index Ventures, General Catalyst, Highland Europe, and others, we are building one of the defining companies in legal AI.\nWhy this role is different\nMotion is one of the fastest ways to show people what Wordsmith actually does.\nA strong product animation can communicate more in 30 seconds than a long case study ever will.\nThis is a founding motion role. You’ll define how Wordsmith moves, feels, and tells product stories through video. You’ll build the systems that let us scale high-quality output and shape how the market experiences our brand.\nIf you care about craft, speed, and work that directly drives growth, this is a rare opportunity.\nThe Role\nWe’re hiring a Motion Designer to own video and motion across Wordsmith.\nYou’ll create launch videos, feature announcements, social assets, and product storytelling that turns complex workflows into clear, compelling narratives.\nYou’ll work closely with Design, Growth, Product Marketing, and Founders to bring ideas to life quickly and at a high standard.\nThis is a hands-on role with real ownership from day one.\nWhat you’ll do\nCreate launch videos, feature announcements, and product animations\n\nTurn abstract workflows into clear visual stories that land quickly\n\nBuild a motion system of templates, transitions, components, and export standards\n\nProduce social content, event openers, conference loops, and sales enablement assets\n\nPartner with writers, designers, and producers from concept to final delivery\n\nHelp define how motion supports brand, growth, and product storytelling\n\nUse AI tools to improve quality, speed, and creative range\n\nWhat we’re looking for\n3+ years of motion design experience, ideally in-house at a product or technology company\n\nStrong reel of shipped work you can talk through clearly\n\nExcellent taste and high standards for craft\n\nStrong narrative instincts - you can simplify dense ideas visually\n\nOwnership mindset - you’re comfortable building a function, not just executing briefs\n\nHigh initiative - you spot gaps and move before being asked\n\nAI-first mentality - you actively use modern tools to increase quality and output\n\nAdvanced skills in After Effects and Figma\n\nComfortable in Premiere for editing\n\nBonus:\nRive, Lottie, GSAP, or web motion\n\n3D tools such as Cinema 4D or Blender\n\nAI video tools\n\nExperience building reusable motion systems or libraries\n\nHow we work\nWe’re an in-office team. We work together because it helps us move faster, collaborate closely, and produce better work. You should expect to be in the office as your default in your chosen hub.\nThis is a high trust environment. You’ll have real ownership, clear responsibility, and room to shape how things are done.\nWe care about pace, but also craft. The standard matters.\nThis role suits people who want responsibility, autonomy, and visible impact.\nWhat you can expect\nOwnership of motion at one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies\n\nReal budget and mandate to build the function properly\n\nHigh-impact work seen by customers, prospects, and the market\n\nClose partnership with a senior marketing and design team\n\nCompetitive salary and meaningful equity\n\nWhy Wordsmith\nWe’re growing quickly, shipping fast, and building products customers genuinely need.\nThere is huge demand, strong momentum, and no shortage of meaningful stories to tell.\nIf you want your motion work to influence brand, pipeline, and product perception at scale, this is a strong place to do it.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4341,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Legal AI","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-31T04:06:46Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-08T20:20:31Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-09-11T20:27:29Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":13,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.46,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":176,"expected_fill_days":73,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wordsmith-motion-graphic-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wordsmith-motion-graphic-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T02:03:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3358,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":45785},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=45785"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwordsmith-motion-graphic-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwordsmith-motion-graphic-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwordsmith-motion-graphic-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wordsmith-motion-graphic-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwordsmith-motion-graphic-designer"}]}
