Job Description

Create high-quality motion graphics that bring the Pedros Group’s four brands to life. Turn campaign briefs and brand assets into engaging animations for social media, digital advertising, video and in-store elements. This is a hands-on design role requiring excellent visual judgement, confident animation skills and a strong portfolio demonstrating original thinking and polished execution.

Duties and Responsibilities:

Creative concepts and design

  • Develop motion concepts, storyboards and style frames from campaign briefs. Adapt ideas to each brand’s identity, audience and communication objectives.
  • Apply strong typography, composition, colour and visual hierarchy. Explore relevant design and animation trends while keeping work distinctive and appropriate to the brand.

Motion graphics and animation

  • Design and animate typography, logos, illustrations, graphic elements and promotional messages for campaigns, product launches and ongoing brand activity.
  • Create polished 2D animations with effective timing, pacing, easing and transitions. Make food and promotional content visually appealing while keeping product and offer details accurate.
  • Combine footage, photography and graphics using compositing, masking, tracking and keying where required. Prepare and adapt design assets for animation.
  • Produce versions for different platforms, aspect ratios and screen specifications. Ensure text remains readable and key messages work with or without sound.

Collaboration and delivery

  • Work with designers, videographers, content creators and marketing teams to deliver cohesive campaign assets. Present concepts and incorporate constructive feedback.
  • Manage assigned projects and deadlines, communicate progress and flag production constraints early.

Editing and finishing

  • Edit and assemble motion-led videos, using sound effects and music where appropriate to support the creative idea. Coordinate with video specialists on more complex productions.
  • Check animation, spelling, prices, offer details, audio, brand consistency and technical quality before delivery. Export clean files to the required codec, resolution, frame rate and file size.
  • Create adaptable templates and reusable animation elements to support consistent, efficient production across campaigns and brands.

Quality and file management

  • Review creative feedback and content performance with the relevant teams. Use these insights to improve hooks, pacing, message clarity and future animations.
  • Maintain organised project files, linked assets and version control. Package editable files for handover and follow approval and asset-licensing requirements.

Requirements

  • Relevant professional motion graphics experience at mid-level. An excellent portfolio and motion showreel are mandatory, demonstrating personal contributions, strong design fundamentals and polished animation.
  • Proven ability to take work from brief and storyboard through animation, revisions and final delivery. Experience adapting work across brands and channels is advantageous.
  • Strong proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop, with working knowledge of Premiere Pro or equivalent editing software. 3D animation skills are advantageous.
  • A relevant qualification in graphic design, animation, multimedia or a related field is advantageous. Demonstrated creative and technical ability is essential.
  • Must have experience working with Ai software.
