As a Motion Designer focused on small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) on Pinterest’s Paid Performance Marketing team, you’ll help shape how Pinterest connects with SMB audiences across social and digital advertising. You’ll collaborate with world class designers and writers to concept, storyboard, and deliver motion-first campaigns for our Marketing team—using animation, editing, and visual storytelling to turn insights into effective, high-performing creative.

What you’ll do:

• Evolve Pinterest’s performance motion across social and digital touchpoints.
• Create globally resonant, high-impact motion assets that drive meaningful business outcomes for SMBs while staying true to the Pinterest brand.
• Iterate quickly and communicate ideas across various levels of fidelity—concept frames, animatics, rough cuts—with the ability to receive and give feedback constructively.
• Collaborate with designers, copywriters, producers, and growth partners to develop ideas from brief to final delivery, ensuring creative is on-brand, on-message, and optimized for performance.
• Use SMB performance data, creative insights, and channel best practices to continually refine motion approaches, timing, and narrative structure.
• Explore and responsibly integrate AI and emerging tools to speed up exploration, pre-viz, and variation while keeping a high bar for craft.

What we’re looking for:

• Minimum 3 years of experience creating motion/ video for performance marketing, digital advertising, or social content.
• A portfolio that showcases outstanding motion work across social and digital channels—demonstrating strong storytelling, pacing, and a clear understanding of platform constraints.
• Exceptional attention to detail across layout, typography, color, and movement in motion.
• Experience designing and animating for both product-focused and brand-building campaigns.
• Comfort working quickly and efficiently across multiple projects at once, with a bias toward testing and learning.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills; you can clearly articulate your motion decisions to creative and non-creative stakeholders.
• Experience with B2B and/ or SMB audiences is great to have, but not required
• Master of motion design tools: you’re fluent with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, and modern AI toolsets.
• Experience with AI-adjacent motion tools (e.g., generative video, or similar) and an interest in using them thoughtfully to unlock new creative possibilities.
