About the Role:

We are seeking a Multimedia Designer to bring project44’s products, technology, and vision to life through storytelling, motion, and design. You will create compelling graphics, animations, and videos that explain how our platform works, highlight our innovative roadmap, and inspire customers and partners with our north star vision.

    • Design for clarity and impact, simplifying advanced product concepts for both business and technical audiences.
    • Work iteratively and experiment with rapid prototyping, including the use of AI-enhanced creative tools.

    Cross-Functional Collaboration

    • Partner with Product Design, Product Marketing, Brand Marketing, and Product Management to align multimedia content with messaging strategy and go-to-market initiatives.
    • Produce multimedia assets for multiple channels, including web, product demos, campaigns, events, and social media — ensuring brand consistency and visual fidelity.
    • Contribute to the evolution of project44’s digital motion system, visual direction, and design standards.

Qualifications:

  • 4–7 years of experience in multimedia design, motion graphics, animation, or visual communication, ideally within a tech or SaaS environment.
    • Strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in motion design, animation, and storytelling.
    • Proficiency with Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Figma.
    • Experience using AI-enhanced creative tools such as Runway, Midjourney, Sora, or Kaiber.
    • Ability to translate complex technical topics into simple, engaging visual narratives.
    • Familiarity with product storytelling, including explainers, product walkthroughs, or vision videos.
    • Understanding of UI/UX design principles and the ability to represent product interactions through motion.
    • Excellent collaboration, communication, and cross-functional working skills.
    • Strong time-management skills with the ability to balance multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
    • A passion for visual storytelling, innovation, and design craft.
    • In-office Commitment: Our office is where ideas spark, connections thrive, and innovation comes alive. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and committed to joining our team on-site, in our beautiful headquarters four days a week. Together, we’re building something extraordinary—learn, grow, and thrive in our fast-paced, transformative environment.

  •  Experience creating 3D animations or motion prototypes (Blender, Cinema 4D, or similar).
    • Background in visualizing product roadmaps or north star concepts for executive presentations.
    • Understanding of brand systems, design tokens, and how motion brings a design system to life.
    • Familiarity with rapid prototyping tools such as Bolt, V0, or Lovable.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
