Unleaded is looking for an Associate Creative Director for Motion Design and Video projects who will bring both an experienced eye for high-end brand and campaign work, as well as lead-from-the-front design expertise to help the team produce compelling video content.  

​

This individual will serve as a team leader. Must be able to help concept video projects of all kind, scale, function and delivery format by offering expert guidance, providing creative and technical support or, sometimes, just rolling up their sleeves and helping out. The team will be counting on this person to help leverage motion graphics and video in a way that’s compelling, strategic and a natural complement to the rest of the client’s brand experience.  

​

The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of the lifecycle of these projects from planning and concepting to storyboard, style frames, production, editing and beyond. Will work with clients whose core businesses touch on big-picture issues such as climate change and the global supply chain. 

​

We offer a competitive benefits package that includes health, vision and dental care, matching 401K, paid vacation and paid maternity leave. This position is based at our Houston office, though some full-time members of your team will be remote across multiple states. 

​

• Lead Unleaded’s video and motion design team in the creation of engaging, award-winning, on-brand and on-strategy video/motion design pieces and campaigns 

• Manage video and motion design projects through each phase of the production process 

• Ensure that the video and motion design group consistently delivers the highest-quality, most-innovative and best-performing videos, on time and within budget—codifying best practices, protocols and processes along the way

• Explore ways video and motion media could add value to the client’s overall brand experience, campaign effectiveness, or business development performance 

• Help team members work through problems with concepting, visual storytelling or technical execution as the need arises 

• Collaborate with marketing and creative teams to ensure technical accuracy in motion design relating to client technologies, abstract ideas and industrial facilities
