About LATAM AD TALENT
LATAM AD TALENT connects top creative and digital talent from Latin America with agencies and brands across the US, Canada, and Europe. We specialize in placing highly skilled professionals in remote roles, helping global creative teams access exceptional LATAM talent while maintaining strong communication, collaboration, and time zone alignment.
We're currently partnering with a leading U.S.-based brand experience studio working across fashion, luxury, beauty, lifestyle, technology, and culture.
The studio combines creative development, in-house production, experiential design, motion, creative technology, graphic design, and physical production to create innovative brand experiences for global clients.
As the studio continues to grow, they're looking to hire 2–3 2D Motion Designer / Art Director profiles across Latin America, with different strengths and levels of seniority.
About the Role
We're looking for 2D Motion creatives who combine strong hands-on motion design skills with an art direction mindset.
Because there are multiple openings, we're interested in different balances within that profile.
Some candidates may be stronger on the hands-on side, with deep experience designing, animating, and executing sophisticated 2D motion work.
Others may lean more toward Art Direction and creative thinking, with the ability to develop concepts, establish visual directions, create styleframes and storyboards, present ideas, and guide other motion artists.
In either case, we're looking for creatives who understand both sides: people who can think conceptually about the idea and visual direction behind the work while also having a strong understanding of how that idea comes to life through motion.
We'll particularly prioritize Motion Designers and Art Directors who have worked within brand experience, experiential, or integrated creative agency environments, and who understand.
What You'll Do
Depending on your experience and strengths, you may:
● Design and animate sophisticated 2D motion graphics for brand, experiential, and commercial projects.
● Partner with Creative Directors, designers, and producers to conceive and develop motion concepts.
● Translate brand ideas and creative concepts into compelling motion experiences.
● Create styleframes, storyboards, motion tests, presentations, animations, motion toolkits, and guidelines.
● Explore typography, composition, transitions, pacing, movement, and visual storytelling.
● Bring a strong editorial and design-driven sensibility to motion work.
● Consider how motion integrates into broader brand experiences and multidisciplinary creative projects.
● Take projects from initial creative direction through polished final execution.
● Experiment with new visual approaches, techniques, and technologies.
● Collaborate with designers, 2D/3D artists, producers, and other creative disciplines.
● Manage multiple projects while maintaining strong craft and attention to detail.
● Ensure final work is QC'd, technically accurate, and delivered to studio standards.
Must-Haves
● Professional experience in 2D Motion Design, Motion Graphics, or Motion Art Direction.
● A strong, versatile portfolio or reel demonstrating sophisticated, design-driven 2D motion work.
● Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly After Effects.
● Strong fundamentals in typography, composition, pacing, movement, animation, and visual storytelling.
● Experience working on commercial, brand, agency, studio, or similarly high-level creative projects.
● Ability to understand and contribute to the creative thinking behind a project, not just execute animation.
● Strong attention to detail and commitment to polished execution.
● Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced creative environment.
● Comfortable receiving creative direction and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
● Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.
● Professional English communication skills.
● Based in Latin America.
Highly Preferred
● Experience working within a brand experience, experiential, or integrated creative agency.
● Experience creating motion as part of broader brand experiences, campaigns, installations, or multidisciplinary creative projects.
● Experience working across fashion, luxury, beauty, lifestyle, technology, or culture.
● Experience working with major or global brands.
● Strong graphic design or Art Direction background.
● Experience creating styleframes, storyboards, and motion systems.
● Experience presenting creative ideas or concepts.
● Experience providing creative direction or feedback to other motion artists.
● Experience collaborating with 3D artists.
● Familiarity with emerging motion, AI, or creative technology tools.
The client culture Culture
This is a fast-moving creative environment where concept and craft are equally important.
We're looking for people who are curious, collaborative, detail-oriented, and excited to experiment. You should care deeply about the quality of your work while remaining open to feedback, iteration, and new creative approaches.
The studio works across disciplines, so we're particularly interested in creatives who can think beyond an individual animation and understand how their work contributes to a larger creative idea and brand experience.
