Role
Who you are
- Experience building motion for brand, product, marketing, launch, or education contexts, ideally in a product-led technology company or high-growth SaaS environment
- A strong portfolio of motion work that demonstrates storytelling, art direction, animation craft, visual systems thinking, and the ability to explain the process behind finished work
- Deep fluency in motion design tools and workflows such as After Effects, Figma, Cinema 4D, Lottie, Rive, code-adjacent motion, or comparable production tools
- A demonstrated ability to simplify complex concepts visually without overloading the viewer, including strong instincts for pacing, sequencing, hierarchy, narration, and accessibility
- Strong cross-functional communication skills, including the ability to clarify a brief, align with PMM or Marketing goals, handle competing feedback, and prioritize multiple stakeholder requests
What the job involves
- Harvey is hiring a Senior Motion Designer to define how motion shows up across Harvey’s brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive-facing creative work
- The role will sit within Brand and Design, reporting into our Head of Motion
- This is a new senior IC role intended to raise the motion craft bar while still operating with the low-ego, hands-on generalist posture expected of Harvey’s senior brand hires
- The role should build on existing motion and brand hiring standards, including deep portfolio review, visible process, cross-functional collaboration with PMM and Marketing, and practical assessment of prioritization under ambiguity
- The person in this role will help Harvey turn complex AI product ideas into clear, memorable, and reusable motion systems that can scale across product launches, web surfaces, campaign assets, Academy or education assets, events, and internal/external storytelling
- Support the motion design language for Harvey’s brand across launch videos, product explainers, web and campaign moments, event assets, social cuts, sales enablement, and other high-leverage creative surfaces
- Create motion concepts, storyboards, style-frames, animatics, and final motion assets that make complex AI workflows feel clear, premium, and unmistakably Harvey
- Partner closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and other GTM stakeholders to translate positioning, product context, and user needs into motion narratives that can ship quickly
- Develop reusable motion systems, templates, animation principles, and production workflows so Harvey can scale motion output without reinventing the wheel on every request
- Use judgment to scope work appropriately across polished hero moments, scrappy launch needs, quick-turnaround edits, and longer-term brand-system investments
- Raise the craft bar for motion while remaining willing to do the unglamorous but important production work required in a fast-moving creative team
Our take
The explosive popularity of generative AI tools has seen specialized solutions popping up for all kinds of industries. Hoping to help supercharge efficiency and productivity for legal teams, Harvey supplies generative AI that can assist with documentation, as well as aid research and optimize workflows.
Via natural language instructions, Harvey helps draft and analyze legal documents. It can also answer complex questions across large document sets, or even handle research queries that cover multiple domains in legal, regulatory and tax.
Its ability to support legal practitioners as if it's another member of the team is what makes Harvey particularly interesting. This approach has seen the company raise substantial funding, reaching Unicorn status in 2024. Funds are now being used to expand to new geographies, grow headcount and further collect and curate data to train more “domain-specific” AI models.
