About this role
Professionals who thrive in fast-paced environments and possess a hands-on, low-ego generalist approach will find a natural home in this position. Harvey is transforming how legal and professional services operate by combining frontier agentic AI with an enterprise-grade platform. The Brand and Design team is looking for a Senior Motion Designer to define how motion appears across the brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive-facing creative work.
This role exists to raise the motion craft bar and translate complex AI product ideas into clear, memorable, and reusable motion systems. Reporting to the Head of Motion, the person in this role will build motion concepts, storyboards, style-frames, and final assets while partnering closely with product marketing and other go-to-market stakeholders. Success in this position requires deep fluency in modern motion design tools, strong visual systems thinking, and the ability to prioritize and scope work under ambiguity.
What you will do
- Shape the motion design language for the company brand across launch videos, product explainers, web moments, event assets, social cuts, and sales enablement surfaces.
- Develop motion concepts, storyboards, style-frames, animatics, and final motion assets to make complex artificial intelligence workflows feel clear and premium.
- Collaborate closely with brand, product marketing, product design, and creative operations teams to translate strategic positioning and user needs into motion narratives.
- Build reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows to scale creative output efficiently.
- Determine appropriate project scope across polished hero pieces, scrappy launch needs, rapid edits, and long-term brand-system investments.
- Elevate overall motion standards while maintaining willingness to execute foundational production tasks within a fast-moving team.
What you need
- Demonstrated experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts within technology or high-growth software environments.
- A comprehensive portfolio showcasing storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and clear articulation of production processes.
- Deep proficiency in standard motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, or code-adjacent motion software.
- Proven capability to simplify complex visual concepts through strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, visual hierarchy, narration, and accessibility.
- Robust cross-functional communication abilities to clarify briefs, align with marketing goals, manage feedback, and prioritize stakeholder requests.
