Summary of the Senior Motion Designer job at zeely

At Zeely AI, we are looking for a Senior Motion Designer who will help systematically improve onboarding and in-product UX, increasing user activation and product understanding.

This is a high-scale role: your work will be seen and used by millions of users. You won’t just execute tasks — you’ll contribute to ideation and hypothesis testing, work with AI tools, and grow in areas like product motion and UX.

Zeely AI is an all-in-one AI-powered marketing platform that helps small businesses and marketing teams grow and achieve their business goals.

The platform enables users to create high-quality ad creatives, UGC videos, viral content, banners, and more, as well as launch effective paid and organic campaigns on Facebook and Instagram.

In simple terms: we’ve made the world’s best AI marketing tools accessible to everyone — tools that were previously available only to large brands with expensive marketing teams.

Numbers that speak louder than words:

• 4 years on the market = a stable, profitable company backed by top-tier international investors

• 4× growth over the past year

• 1,000,000+ businesses already use Zeely, and the number is growing rapidly every day

• Top 3 in its category in the U.S. market

• 160+ team members

• Markets: U.S. + worldwide

We are not a startup searching for product-market fit — we are scaling what already works. And that comes with a different kind of challenge.

Your key responsibilities:

• Create animations for user onboarding, explainer flows, product walkthroughs, and feature introductions

• Translate complex product features into clear, simple, and high-quality motion scenarios

• Design micro-interactions and UX animations that improve the in-product user experience

• Collaborate with product designers, growth team, and developers to align motion with product goals

• Prototype motion ideas in a product context — from concept to final implementation

• Prepare and optimize animations for production (Lottie / JSON / video / other performance-friendly formats)

• Maintain visual consistency, clean motion logic, and high technical quality

• Explore and test AI tools to speed up ideation and production workflows
  

What we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of experience as a Motion Designer, preferably in product / SaaS / mobile app / digital product environments

• Strong proficiency in After Effects and Figma

• Experience creating product animations: onboarding flows, explainer animations, feature introductions, UX motion

• Understanding of UX/UI principles and how motion impacts user behavior and experience

• Experience delivering production-ready animations (Lottie / JSON / web-ready / app-ready formats)

• Strong sense of timing, easing, composition, hierarchy, typography, and visual clarity

• Portfolio showcasing product motion, UX animation, onboarding or feature animations

• High level of autonomy and a proactive mindset — ability to suggest ideas and improvements, not just execute tasks

Nice to have:

• Experience with Rive or other tools for product-ready animations

• Experience with AI tools for motion / video

• Basic understanding of design systems and motion integration

• Graphic design skills (layout, typography, color, visual hierarchy)

• Experience with sound design or voiceover tools for product explainers

Why it’s exciting to work with us:

• Work with cutting-edge technologies and contribute to building AI-powered tools

• Join a strong A-level team that motivates you to grow and achieve more

• Remote-first approach: work from anywhere, with the option to visit our offices in Warsaw and Kyiv

• Paid day offs and sick leaves — we care about your work-life balance

• Regular performance reviews to ensure your growth is transparent and rewarded

• Financial support — consultations for private entrepreneurs from our dedicated finance team
