+ Motion Designer at Eucalyptus - Sydney

About the job

We're looking for a motion designer to flex our motion design muscles across our brands at Eucalyptus. The role will be predominantly 2D animation with some video editing however, adding a dimension with 3D modelling and animation skills would be a big bonus.

Why join Eucalyptus?

We are building the future of accessible, patient-centric healthcare right here in Australia!

In just 2 years, we've grown to over 100 000 patients across 3 companies. Blackbird, who invested in us, put us among the fastest-growing companies they have ever funded.

What do we do, exactly?

Well, we have built a technology platform to deliver healthcare to Australians with a level of care and depth that brings healthcare into the internet age. We plug into doctors, specialists and pharmacies from all over the country, and our brands (Pilot, Kin and Software) cater for different demographics. Our most recent brand, Normal, is changing the conversation around sexual health and wellness.

How do we work?

Things move quickly here. We like to set goals with the mindset that if we hit them all we haven’t challenged ourselves enough. You’ll be surrounded by a world-class team of thinkers, designers, engineers and leaders who are obsessed with three things:

• The health and wellbeing of the average person
• Creating personalised, engaging, convenient user-experiences
• Making healthcare fun and interesting (because it is)
• The organisation is flat and decision making happens regularly and rapidly at every level of the org. We believe too many chefs spoil the broth and ultimately people are given the freedom to make decisions (and mistakes), and learn from the journey. Ultimately, we believe ideas are cheap and execution is more important than anything.

Why you'll thrive here

• We want to set you up for success from day one, ensuring you’ll thrive here because you’ll:

• Come in at the ground floor at one of the fastest growing startups in the country while we are still small (~80 people).

• An awesome office in Haymarket, near Central (with flexible work – esp. during COVID).
• See the meaningful impact of your work on over tens of thousands of actual users (check out the customers that love us!).
• Learn from some of Australia’s best marketers, engineers and creatives, joining a diverse team from Atlassian, Canva, Koala, McKinsey, BuzzFeed, Optiver, Halter and more.
• A share in the company (equity), so you are rewarded for your best work

JOB DESCRIPTION

Forget the agency world

• We don't pitch for new business. When we want more clients, we launch more brands. This means that your energy always goes into making work that's impactful from day 1.
• You'll make an insane amount of work. 3 months at Eucalyptus equals a years worth of agency work. We have the resourcing and budgets to let good ideas thrive, and work isn't - watered down by things like clients or 60 page brand strategy docs.
• Make work that benefits society - we're not selling Big Mac's or Asahi's. All of our brands have an immensely positive impact to our customers health & confidence.
• Have your work judged by its effectiveness, not some washed out ECD at Cannes. Working at Eucalyptus you’ll be heavily involved in not just the production of work, but also in helping to measure its success once it's live.
• You’ll have ownership on a larger part of the creative process at Eucalyptus. Your execution won’t be limited to work that comes directly briefs. If you’ve got ideas that you think would work in certain mediums, we’ll make it come to life.

As a Motion Designer at Eucalyptus you will:

• Working with Designers, Art Directors and Editors to make creative move in a beautiful way.
• Working across multiple different brands and projects, evolving your style for each.
• Help people learn complex concepts through 2D explainer and production animations.
• Work with producers to accurately scope motion projects and deliver optimised assets for the intended final output medium
• Communicate your thinking through storyboards and treatment decks.
• Stay up to date with the latest in tooling and workflow processes in the motion design world.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• A demo reel with your best work.
• Strong conceptual and art directional skillset.
• 2+ years experience working as a motion designer / animator at an agency or studio.
• A high standard of written and verbal communication skills.
• A deep understand of the principles of great motion design.
• Thorough knowledge of 'After Effects' & 'Premiere pro. C4D' / 'Blender' a bonus.
• Working knowledge of best practices when it comes to workflow and folder structures.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
• An understanding of sound design.
• Exceptional attention to detail.

You will be part of the Canva Creative Team and work in conjunction with many other teams at Canva ( Product, Partnerships, internationalisation … ). Our Motion Designers carry out research, brainstorming, sketching, prototyping, and collaborate with our designer and copywriters to ship memorable campaign assets. This could include digital animations for landing pages, visual content for social advertising, animations for physical environments, branding executions, landing pages, UI content and more.

About the team

• Canva’s in-house creative team is on a mission to make Canva the most loved brand in the world. We work from concept to creation on world-class creative across brand communications, marketing campaigns, editorial content and production.

• As part of this team you’ll help create a brand that communicates our purpose, defines perception and awareness globally, and puts a spotlight on our diverse community– ensuring they receive a human, inspiring and empowering experience.

• We move fast here at Canva, and this role will certainly keep you on your toes. We are looking for someone who loves to get stuff done. You’re who we want to work with if you can balance your brilliant creative streak with ruthless prioritisation that moves projects rapidly along.

• We believe in attracting and nurturing world-class talent with a focus on diversity, community, career development – and doing the best work of our lives.

What you'll be doing

• Create visual content (static and motion) that brings Canva’s brand to life in exciting, strategic creative executions

• Eager to learn and evolve. From creative craft to leadership skills to market trends – you never stop pushing into the next big challenge. You work alongside people who are better than you at some things. To you this isn’t a threat, but an inspiring opportunity to learn and grow.

• You think and act as We, not Me. We’re all in this together. You love nothing more than to collaborate and build trusted relationships with your team, ensuring everyone is empowered to do the best work of their life, and having the best time doing it.

• Right brain, left brain. Your head is in the clouds while your feet are on the ground. You balance creative and strategic excellence, flipping between big picture thinking and pixel-perfect craft without jeopardizing the quality of either.

• You’re a fantastic communicator. Your communication skills help you work cross-functionally with other teams. You brainstorm concepts and facilitate workshops. You give and receive constructive feedback and can clearly articulate how creative work can be improved, mentoring others to deliver their best work.

• A bias for action. You’re happy to roll up your sleeves and muck in. No task is too small (or big!) if it helps the team around you to be more effective, and rallies them to achieve their goals faster.

• Always striving for your best. You’re a talented creative with amazing design chops, yet you never stop pursuing excellence in yourself and in your work – “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best.” A master designer, able to visualise the brand and its products to myriad demographics and personas clearly.
