Additional Information

Variety is looking for a Motion Designer with a distinct visual voice to define how one of entertainment's most storied brands tells stories through motion. This is a creative-first role for someone who sees graphics not as decoration but as the primary vehicle for editorial storytelling. The ideal candidate lives and breathes entertainment - they understand Hollywood, its history, and the cultural conversations shaping the industry right now. You'll work directly with Variety's Head of Video to build and own the visual language of our editorial video operation. One day could be spent designing a graphics template for Directors on Directors ; the next, creating a fully animated explainer breaking down the box office landscape. The work spans short-form social content to long-form editorial series, and you'll have real creative ownership over how it looks.
