Animator

Summary

Join Ethena, a compliance platform building a better workplace, as a contract animator. Collaborate with the Learning Experience team to refine animation style, improve tools and processes, experiment with AI tools, create animations meeting client specifications, and push the boundaries of animated workplace training videos. You will edit video and audio using Adobe Creative Suite. The ideal candidate possesses extensive Adobe Creative Suite experience, including Character Animator and Premiere (After Effects and Photoshop/Illustrator are a bonus), thrives in a hands-off environment, and is passionate about Ethena's mission.

Requirements

• Extensive experience with Adobe Creative Suite products
• Character Animator and Premiere experience are a must, After Effects and Photoshop/Illustrator are a bonus!
• Remarkable speed, and comfort with tight deadlines
• A self-starter who thrives in a hands-off management environment — someone who takes ownership of their work with a “roll up your sleeves mentality”, is comfortable with ambiguity, proactively identifies problems and solutions, and drives their work forward with minimal oversight
• Passion for what we’re building here at Ethena and a strong alignment with our core values (which includes an impeccable sense of humor)
• Someone that knows when to put in the extra effort to make something just 5 percent better, but also knows when being finished is the better option

Responsibilities

• Refine our visual style and standards for animation
• Improve tools and processes to help yourself - and other animators! - work more efficiently
• Experiment with cutting-edge AI tools, including some not focused on animation (e.g. Heygen, Google Veo3)
• Create and adjust animations to meet client specifications
• Push the boundaries of what animated workplace training videos can be
• Edit video and audio using Adobe Creative Suite

Benefits

• Our workforce is fully remote and your personal working hours can be based on your own timezone
