Company: Accenture SA

Type: Full Time (Permanent)


The Role

We’re looking for a multi-skilled Junior Motion Designer who thrives at the intersection of creative execution and technical problem-solving. You’ll contribute to high-volume Telkom rollout campaigns while also helping the team evolve its internal workflows, templates, and motion systems.

This is a hybrid role—perfect for someone who enjoys crafting clean, effective animations but also wants to automate and optimize the production process for future scalability and consistency. You’ll work closely with our senior creatives and production teams to deliver daily outputs while building systems that enhance speed and quality.


Key Responsibilities

  • Animate branded 2D and 3D content for Telkom and other high-volume campaigns

  • Build and maintain modular After Effects templates and scripts

  • Help create and document a scalable motion component system

  • Automate repetitive tasks within the animation pipeline

  • Collaborate with designers and animators to ensure consistency and efficiency

  • Support rollout work across a variety of formats and platforms

  • Interpret and apply feedback in a fast-paced, iterative environment


Required Skills & Experience

  • Proficient in Adobe After Effects, including Expressions and scripting (JavaScript/ExtendScript)

  • Solid understanding of motion design principles and 2D animation fundamentals

  • Basic working knowledge of 3D tools like Cinema 4D or Blender (e.g., modeling, lighting, rendering)

  • Experience working with brand style guides, templates, and visual toolkits

  • Strong interest in automation, systems thinking, and workflow optimization


Bonus Points

  • Familiarity with tools like Houdini, Redshift, or other rendering engines

  • Experience building reusable motion component libraries

  • Exposure to agile workflows, version control, or collaborative production pipelines

  • Prior involvement in large-scale rollout campaigns

  • Interest in exploring AI/ML-enhanced animation tools and future-facing workflows


Who Thrives in This Role

You're someone who is:

  • Curious & Coachable – Eager to learn and grow within a team of senior creatives

  • Detail-Oriented – You notice and fix the small things that others may miss

  • Technically Creative – You enjoy writing scripts as much as animating scenes

  • Craft-Driven – You value quality, even under pressure or with templated work

  • Resilient & Focused – You keep sharp during high-volume delivery cycles

  • Team-Oriented – You contribute positively to both internal teams and external partners
