FINN Partners is seeking a highly skilled Motion Designer/Editor to join our growing creative team. This role is ideal for a seasoned visual storyteller who can bring ideas to life through advanced animation, thoughtful editing, and a strong command of post-production craft. You’ll collaborate with designers, writers, and producers to create compelling video content for some of the world’s most respected brands.
Who are we looking for:
We’re seeking someone who brings curiosity, collaboration, and a drive to make a meaningful impact. This is not an entry-level motion role. We’re looking for someone whose animation capabilities go well beyond basic motion graphics—someone who understands movement, timing, depth, and narrative, and who can execute sophisticated animated sequences with confidence.
- 7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
- Advanced animation skills–well beyond basic motion graphics
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro
- Strong working knowledge of After Effects and the Adobe Creative Suite
- Experience with DaVinci Resolve for color grading is a plus
- Deep understanding of pacing, composition, sound design, and visual storytelling
- Ability to take creative direction and also work independently when needed
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- A portfolio that clearly demonstrates advanced animation and editorial capabilities
- Fluency in AI tools such as Midjourney, Gemini and Firefly for the creation of both video and still imagery.
- Experience with 3D tools (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar)
- Background in compositing, VFX, or mixed-media animation
- Experience working on integrated campaigns across multiple channels
Responsibilities
- Edit and animate high-quality video content across platforms, including brand films, social, digital, broadcast, experiential, and internal communications
- Develop advanced animations that enhance storytelling–ranging from kinetic typography to kinematics
- Collaborate closely with creative directors, art directors, and producers from concept through final delivery
- Interpret creative briefs and translate strategy into engaging visual narratives
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining a high level of craft and attention to detail
- Optimize video and animation assets for various formats, channels, and technical specifications
- Maintain a fastidious organizational structure for media assets and project files
- Contribute to creative reviews with strong ideas, solutions, and a collaborative mindset
- Stay current with emerging trends, tools, and techniques in video editing and animation
You might be a great fit if you have:
- 7+ years of professional experience in video editing and animation, ideally within an agency, studio, or production environment
- A strong portfolio of editing and motion graphics work
- A collaborative mindset
- The ability to manage multiple projects, balance priorities, and adapt to changing needs
What you’ll get:
- Competitive salary and benefits
- Remote and hybrid working flexibility
- A wellness subsidy
- A manager who provides consistent 1:1 check-ins, feedback, and growth opportunities
- Culture-building events and cross-team collaboration
- Career advancement opportunities within a growing agency
- A strong emphasis on work-life balance
What you’ll be a part of:
- An established and still growing agency that values creativity and collaboration.
- A global team of experts who support each other and strive to achieve excellent results for clients.
- A culture that promotes diversity, work-life balance, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

A LETTER FROM PETER FINN:
DECEMBER 2011. FINN PARTNERS WAS BORN. After 11 years serving as co-CEO of an historic agency that carried my father’s name— and mine!—and after 30+ years of working at the firm, I wanted to build something different, bold, meaningful and amazing for clients, our colleagues and the community. "Amazing" was, and is, for me an important word. I imagined we could be "amazing" every day, knowing this is a goal not always achieved but always pursued. A place where talented people could gather and do big things for clients as well as make a difference to the communities important to us.
WE LAUNCHED WITH A GROUP WHO SHARED A VISION. This was to be a "new" agency model, driven by a collaborative spirit. We asked, "Can we bind our 60-year legacy to the energy and speed of today’s hi-tech world?" We had $24 million in fees at our founding. Today, we have more than $85 million in fees, over 700 colleagues and 18 offices across three continents. Our Founding Managing Partners, highly respected colleagues who took the leap with me from our former agency, have been joined by the principals of other great agencies that became Finn Partner companies. So many other talented individuals are with us, too, intrigued by the idea of doing amazing things in an amazing workplace community.
WE’VE MADE OUR MARK QUICKLY. Finn Partners has been named “Best New Agency,” “Best PR Agency to Work for in North America” and“Best Mid-Sized Agency of the Year” three times. Now, we’re one of the world’s largest agencies.
WE ARE A YOUNG AGENCY. We share the genes of a respected agency that pioneered today’s integrated communications. But we are not them. We are unique. We are ourselves. We are focused on the future, building that future during each amazing day.
