Mediendesigner/in

Your Role

As a Motion Designer at fonio, you own the entire production pipeline for video content, from pre-production through animation to post-production including sound design. You do all of this yourself.

You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage, and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website.

You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands off to post-production. We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound.

Your Responsibilitites

* Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings)

* Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats

* Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions

* Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing. You understand that sound is what brings product videos to life

* Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos

* Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why

* Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements)

What to expect

* Full ownership over all of fonio's motion output, end-to-end, no handoffs

* Direct impact on an ad spend budget of over €700,000/month

* Close collaboration with the Creative Strategist, Content Creator, and Marketing Lead

* Short decision-making paths, fast pace, real autonomy

* Access to the latest AI tools for motion (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

Who We're Looking For

Must-haves:

* 1-3 years of experience in motion design and animation

* Native in After Effects. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint

* Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable)

* Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing, color, sound design), all in one person

* Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring videos to life

* Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight)

* Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion

* Fluent English, German at C1 level

Nice-to-have:

* Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools

* Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

* Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.)

What We Offer

* €65,000-100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience)

* On-site in Vienna

* Relocation package (if relevant)

* Top equipment and access to the latest AI tools

* Direct collaboration with founders and a strong marketing team

* A product that scales, and creatives you'll actually see live and track the performance of

Hiring Process

* 15 min hiring manager intro call

* 45 min case and technical interview (including a short motion task)

* 20 min conversation on culture, expectations, and details
