• Background in motion design, video, or other multidisciplinary creative work.
• An aptitude for systems thinking and a strong sense of creative judgment.

• Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
