Senior Motion Designer

The team

Our Brand Design and Creative team brings Zopa’s story to life across campaigns, performance marketing and owned channels. As our products and marketing grow, we’re looking for a Senior Motion Designer to help shape how the brand moves and make its value clear to customers.

Reporting to the Head of Brand Design and Creative, you’ll work closely with our Senior Brand Designer and Senior Social Designer, alongside marketers, writers and specialist partners. You’ll own and evolve our existing motion language and build the tools that help the wider team use it well.

This is a hands-on role across brand, campaign and marketing motion, with opportunities to collaborate with our product motion team where the experiences connect.

A day in the life

• Own and evolve Zopa’s motion principles across typography, illustration, products and graphic devices.
• Bring campaign ideas and storyboards to life, contributing motion thinking from the earliest concepts.
• Create short-form motion for paid social and video, adapting hooks, messages and formats for testing.
• Partner with Performance Marketing to turn live learnings into the next round of creative.
• Build useful templates, components and asset libraries that help colleagues and partners deliver consistently.
• Make complex products and customer benefits easy to understand through clear, engaging stories.
• Produce motion for web, CRM, social and launch communications, with care for accessibility and delivery requirements.
• Brief and review specialist production partners while maintaining Zopa’s motion standards.
• Explore AI-assisted workflows for ideas, iteration and production, applying your judgement to every output.

About you

• Your portfolio shows deep motion expertise across brand, campaign and performance work for digital channels.
• After Effects is a core strength, with working experience of Figma, Adobe Creative Suite and video-editing workflows.
• From idea to final delivery, you can explain your contribution, make supporting design changes and lead the animation.
• Paid-social experience includes short-form video, testing, variants and platform adaptation.
• Reusable systems are part of your practice: you have built templates or libraries that other people can use.
• Craft matters to you, from rhythm and timing to typography, sound, accessibility and finish.
• Creative choices come with clear reasoning, and you can brief partners and bring stakeholders with you.
• You bring ideas early, work constructively with others and take responsibility for moving work forward.
• AI tools interest you, and you can explain where they add value and where human craft should lead.

Added bonus

• Fintech, financial services or another complex product category is familiar territory.
• Experience with 3D, real-time or generative tools would broaden the team’s toolkit.
• Hands-on AI production experience includes clear quality checks before work goes live.
• Time in an in-house studio alongside specialist agencies would be useful.
