To redefine fitness and prove that exercise can be fun and for everyone. FitXR believes in a future where exercise is everywhere. Whether that is the gym, the park, or at home - is enhanced through engaging technology that extends your reality.
Role
Who you are
- You’re strong across motion design, editing, animation, post-production and music design
- You’re ready to transition from agency to brand side and hungry for ownership
- You have a passion for social-first storytelling, with an understanding of channel-specific formats and trends
- You’ve worked in fast-paced environments, met tight deadlines, and independently delivered high-impact video and animation work
- You love to collaborate remotely, jam creatively, and communicate clearly across time zones
- You’re available to start soon and open to a 6-month contract
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Motion Designer to join us on an initial 6-month contract and bring our brand to life across short- and long-form video to drive social following, engagement, and user acquisition
- You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our creative storytelling, working in a fast-moving, remote-first team with clear targets for growth
- Bring our brand to life through motion: translate brand design direction into dynamic motion and animation for a social-first audience
- Own post-production: you’ll be the one crafting high-quality edits including a high velocity of short-form social pieces and a monthly cadence of longer narratives
- Shape our in-house standards: this is your chance to set the bar higher than any freelancer or agency we’ve worked with before
- Collaborate across creative and content: work iteratively with our Social Content Producer, Brand Designer, Production Coordinator and Chief Marketing Officer to turn ideas into reality
- Travel for shoots: expect to travel 1–2 times a month to be on set and bring our stories to life from concept to final edit
Application process
- We usually respond within two weeks
Our take
FitXR is rewriting the rules of fitness through immersive technologies. Using VR, it offers 5 studios, with hundreds of high energy classes on demand and choreographed by industry-leading fitness experts.
FitXR has successfully set itself apart in the space, becoming known for its engaging content and even referred to as the "most intense workout". This suggests they have bought users the same type of workout they would get in the gym, but in the Metaverse.
There has been a sharp rise in interest to use VR for fitness, and FitXR are well set to succeed in this growing market. To help attract new users (including those brand new to fitness), the company has partnered with the renowned Dr Brendon Stubbs, PhD - one of the world's leading exercise researchers.
