Senior Motion Designer at The Heist, the motion/live-action/post-production studio within agency Thinkingbox in Toronto. Day to day they design and animate 2D/3D motion graphics for brand films, broadcast spots, and campaigns — building styleframes, storyboards, and 3D scenes in After Effects, Cinema 4D, and Redshift — while mentoring junior designers and upholding craft standards.
Who We Are
Hi! We’re The Heist, the motion design, live action, and post production studio within Thinkingbox, the Brief-to-Built agency.
We bring together directors, designers, animators, editors, and technologists to create work that moves. From brand films to broadcast spots to social campaigns and experiential content, our team blends craft and curiosity to push ideas further. Across our studios, collaboration is real, feedback is open, and culture matters. We take the work seriously. Ourselves, a little less so.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Motion Designer who leads through craft. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives inside the work while helping elevate the people around them.
You’ll partner closely with Art Directors and Creative Directors to transform ideas into exceptional motion. Whether you’re developing styleframes, designing key moments, building 3D scenes, or refining animation, you’ll help establish the creative standard for every project you touch.
Beyond execution, you’ll be a trusted teammate who mentors others, tackles creative and technical challenges, and helps guide projects through production with confidence and attention to detail.
Equal Opportunity
At The Heist, we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength – it's the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions. We welcome and encourage applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to apply. Your voice matters here.
