You’re a creative thinker with a passion for motion and a strong eye for design. You enjoy bringing ideas to life through animation, and you’re excited to continue developing your craft across motion, digital and brand
You’re comfortable working across both animation and static design, and enjoy collaborating with others to create bold, engaging work. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing multiple projects while staying detail-focused and organised
Has strong motion design skills (After Effects or similar), with a desire to continue developing their craft
Demonstrates solid design fundamentals, including typography, layout and composition
Is confident creating assets across digital and print
Has an interest in illustration and expressive brand design
Is curious about 3D tools (such as Blender or Cinema 4D) — experience is a bonus, not a requirement
Pays close attention to detail, consistency and quality in their work

Is open to feedback and motivated to continuously improve
You’ll bring a positive, proactive attitude to the team, balancing confidence in your ideas with flexibility and openness. You enjoy being part of a collaborative studio environment and are excited to contribute to a team that values creativity, experimentation and individuality
Finally, you’ll have solid knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects). Experience with Figma and/or 3D tools is a plus

What the job involves

The Motion Designer is a key part of our global Creative team, helping bring the Minor Figures brand to life through animation, digital design and expressive storytelling
This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on motion as a core craft, while also contributing to wider brand outputs across digital and print. You’ll work closely with our Senior digital designer and wider team to create bold, distinctive work that builds brand awareness, engagement and love
We’re looking for someone who is excited by motion as a storytelling tool — someone who enjoys experimenting, developing their craft, and pushing how a brand shows up through animation. You’ll play an important role in evolving our motion language and contributing to a highly creative, fast-moving environment
Design and deliver high-quality motion work across social, campaigns, web and brand touchpoints
Bring our illustrative brand to life through animation, developing engaging and expressive motion outputs
Work from concept through to execution across a range of creative projects, spanning motion, digital and print
Collaborate closely with the creative team to develop bold, unexpected ideas and bring them to life
Support the development of our motion language, systems and reusable assets to ensure consistency and efficiency
Apply strong design fundamentals — including typography, layout and composition — across both motion and static work
Stay curious and engaged with culture, design and motion trends, bringing fresh thinking into the team
Take ownership of your projects, managing your time effectively across multiple briefs in a fast-paced environment
Within our Creative team, you’ll report to Holly Bennett, our Senior Digital Designer, and work alongside a small team of designers, a creative project manager and a copywriter. We’re a collaborative, fast-moving team focused on producing high-quality work across brand, campaign and digital channels
You’ll also work closely with colleagues across the UK, US and Australia, who bring different perspectives and experiences to the team. We value open, constructive collaboration across time zones
Minor Figures is full of people who care deeply about the brand, so the Creative team sits at the centre of that energy — shaping how the brand shows up across everything we do

Salary benchmarks

Our take

Minor Figures is a brand expressing almost all of the most important consumer trends of today. In terms of its flagship product, Minor Figures is a B Corp producing vegan, sustainable, premium coffee, playing to an exploding niche. At the same time, Minor Figures is much more than just a coffee producer - it’s a holistic brand.

What does that mean in practice? It makes merch, it makes games, it makes clothing. There’s also CBD, chai, and a dedicated music platform called MFFM (Minor Figures FM). That all comes together to create a brand that oozes authenticity and funk - perfectly aligned to a modern, urban audience.

Perhaps then Minor Figures is an entirely new challenger brand narrative. The anti-hero — a challenger brand notable for its absence of a grandiose mission or purpose and with a focus instead on enjoying life, having fun and occasionally poking fun at the very notion of brands as our heroes and saviours.

Whatever it is, it's working. Now selling to over 25 countries and with 2022 investment from French multinational Danone, as long as the company stays true to its roots: coffee and fun, it's hard to see its impressive growth flagging any time soon.
