About Us

Hi! We’re The Heist, the production, post production and animation arm of Thinkingbox, a global

creative collective shaping the future of brands through craft and curiosity. Our team brings

together unique perspectives in production, design, technology, and creativity that push the

boundaries for our clients to create work that is uniquely ours. We are a curious bunch that

loves to think big, continuously learn, and create. We love our culture and the natural

collaboration that happens in and around our five offices, from dog parties, to happy hour

Fridays, to random team trips to Whistler, we maintain a vibrant work environment. However, for

one month a year we encourage our people to explore the world. Try working from another

office or even the beaches of Mexico and expand your worldview, then bring that experience back to the team.

The Opportunity

Our diverse projects are going to push your creative boundaries on work from designing looks and animation. You’re going to be going from sketch to animation on micro-content campaigns, creating 2D and 3D assets to help realize AR apps, motion designing for projects ranging from smaller social media campaigns to short animated films , or even bringing UI to life with motion for high profile microsites or out-of-home activations.

2D and 3D animation for platforms including but not limited to web, social media, out of home activations and good ol’ standalone content
A willingness to learn new skills and software driven by your own curiosity
Keep up to date with current design, visual art trends and best practices

What You'll bring

Comfortable using the Adobe suite, especially After Effects
Demonstrate graphical 2D and 3D motion design skills in your portfolio
A demo reel or portfolio demonstrating a well rounded and nuanced motion portfolio
Ability to take direction and feedback
Ability to hit deadlines, work in a team, but also go solo from time to time
