What you'll do
The Systems Architect: Building, maintaining, and codifying scalable motion infrastructure—modular After Effects templates, MOGRTs, centralized toolkits, and expression-driven assets that keep our visual identity unified and empower the broader creative team to move fast.
The Bespoke Maker: Developing dynamic, impact-focused creative solutions that break through the noise—whether designing immersive LED screen loops for flagship events like Oktane, animating punchy social storytelling, elevating high-stakes brand campaigns, or breathing kinetic life into brand films.
Balance Systems & Bespoke Craft: Seamlessly oscillate between scaling our central motion design system and rolling up your sleeves to execute custom, high-visibility animation across campaigns, events, digital, and video.
Architect & Maintain Central Motion Systems: Champion Okta’s motion guidelines and infrastructure. Design, document, and maintain modular After Effects project templates, Essential Graphics (MOGRTs), and reusable motion libraries that make on-brand motion accessible to internal collaborators and external agency partners.
Deliver High-Impact Event Experiences: Concept and execute bespoke motion packages for owned flagship events (Oktane) and major industry activations (AWS re:Invent, RSAC, NRF, etc.). Craft immersive keynote walk-in loops, speaker intros, and environmental stage graphics tailored to custom LED dimensions and experiential spaces.
Craft Standout Brand & Campaign Motion: Partner with our Senior Motion Designer and Creative Leads to translate high-level campaign briefs into expressive motion graphics, kinetic typography, and animated concepts that elevate product launches, brand announcements, and company milestones.
What they're looking for
- Drive Dynamic Social & Digital Storytelling: Bring fresh energy, pacing, and visual wit to social channels (LinkedIn, YouTube, X) and digital touchpoints, translating complex enterprise security and AI narratives into captivating, scroll-stopping visual content.
- Elevate Video & Branded Content: Collaborate with video editors and producers on title sequences, kinetic type treatments, UI animations, and motion graphic overlays for customer case studies, product sizzles, and brand films.
- Push the Boundaries of Brand Motion: Experiment and explore new kinetic expressions for the Okta visual identity, testing how our visual language, iconography, and graphic elements behave dynamically across 2D and 3D spaces.
- End-to-End Production & Optimization: Own motion assets from initial styleframes and storyboarding through final animation, audio sync, rendering, compression, and delivery across broadcast, web, social, and non-standard event display formats.
