2D Motion & Animation Designer

Location: BGC, Manila

Employment Type: Full-time, On-site

About the Role

We are looking for a 2D Motion & Animation Designer with strong hands-on experience in Spine Pro, Lottie, and Adobe After Effects.

The ideal candidate combines strong technical skills with a solid understanding of animation principles, timing, easing, transitions, effects, and visual storytelling.

You should be able to create animations manually from scratch, adapt your approach to different technical requirements, and independently research solutions when facing unfamiliar challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Create 2D animations and motion graphics for digital products and content.
• Develop animations using Spine Pro, Lottie, and After Effects.
• Create character, object, UI, effects, transition, and looping animations.
• Apply strong animation principles including timing, spacing, easing, anticipation, follow-through, squash & stretch, weight, rhythm, and secondary motion.
• Create animations manually from references rather than relying solely on presets or existing effects.
• Optimize animations according to technical requirements, including Lottie compatibility and real-time animation constraints.
• Work independently to troubleshoot animation and technical issues.
• Continuously explore new animation techniques, tools, and workflows.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience with Spine Pro — Intermediate to Advanced.
• Hands-on experience with Lottie — Intermediate to Advanced.
• Strong proficiency in Adobe After Effects — Intermediate to Advanced.
• Strong understanding of the Graph Editor and manual keyframe animation.
• Solid understanding of fundamental animation principles.
• Ability to create animation from scratch based on references.
• Strong attention to motion quality, timing, and visual consistency.
• Strong self-learning and problem-solving ability.
• Portfolio or showreel demonstrating actual animation work is required.

Your portfolio should ideally demonstrate a combination of:

• Character animation
• Object animation
• Motion graphics
• UI animation
• Effects animation
• Transitions
• Looping animations
• Different animation styles
• Spine projects
• After Effects projects
• Lottie projects, if available

We evaluate the quality of movement and animation principles—not only the complexity of the artwork.

Why Join Us?

• Work on digital products and animation projects with room for creative input.
• Opportunity to work across different animation formats and technologies.
• A role with significant ownership and opportunities to develop your animation skills and workflow.
• Collaborative and fast-paced working environment.

If you are passionate about creating great movement—not just great visuals—we would love to see your work.
