Junior Motion Designer

About us

Moonb is a creative production studio. We give marketing teams an embedded, creative-director-led team for video, design, motion and animation, delivered on a steady weekly rhythm: brand story videos, campaign assets, pitch decks, ad creative, social content. High-quality output, on repeat.

Marketing teams work with us the way they would with an in-house creative department, except the whole thing is already built, aligned to their brand, and shipping every week.

We are small and senior on purpose. Every person here owns real work and sits close to the creative director. Design is a first-class craft, not an afterthought to video, and it is taste a machine cannot fake that clients come back for.

Our culture

About the Role

We are hiring a Junior Motion Designer to work with us on-site in our studio in Baixa, central Lisbon. You will animate motion graphics for brand videos, campaign assets, social content and ad creative, always aligned to each client's brand.

This is a learning seat, not a filler seat. You sit next to senior people, you get real briefs, and you get real feedback. You will grow fast because the work is real and the bar is high.

How you can make an impact

• Take briefs from concept to storyboard to finished animation, with a senior hand to guide you.
• Design and animate in After Effects and the tools around it, and pick up new ones as you go.
• Work with our creative director and designers through feedback cycles, and learn how notes become better work.
• Adapt assets across formats and platforms so they land everywhere they need to.
• Help hit a steady weekly delivery rhythm without letting quality slip.

Let's connect if you have

• 0 to 2 years of motion design experience, including studies, internships or personal projects.
• A reel that shows promise: a sense of timing, rhythm and design, even if it is early.
• Working knowledge of After Effects; a plus if you also touch Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere or Figma.
• Someone who takes direction well, iterates fast, and is not precious about feedback.
• Genuinely eager and self-driven, excited to help shape a small team as it grows.
• Based in Lisbon (or ready to be) with the right to work in Portugal. This role is on-site, not remote.
• We do not care about degrees, diplomas or certificates. Show us the work. Your reel is your CV.

Nice to haves

• A first taste of 3D (Cinema 4D, Blender or similar).
• Design or illustration skills beyond motion.
• A feel for sound and music editing.
• Any real client or freelance work, however small.

What you get

• A real in-house seat on a small, senior creative team, with a creative director to push your craft from the start, not a freelance treadmill.
• Genuinely varied work: brand films, campaigns, social and ad creative for real clients, on a steady weekly rhythm.
• Room to grow: more ownership as you earn it, and a clear path from junior into a full motion design seat.
• A studio in the heart of Baixa, central Lisbon.
• A stable, full-time in-house role with the usual Portuguese benefits (meal allowance, paid holiday).

Apply for this role

Please read before you apply. We review every application from a real reel, so make it easy for us to see your work.

Send two things. First, a link to your reel or portfolio. This is required: no reel means no application. Second, name one piece you personally animated, and in one sentence tell us the single thing you would redo if you made it again.

Applications without a reel link will not be reviewed. Your reel is your CV.
