Role
Who you are
- Experience: 4–5+ years as a Motion Designer with a portfolio of premium brand or product storytelling work. You are a hands-on creator who builds files, templates, and motion systems
- Technical Expertise: Advanced proficiency in After Effects (animation, compositing, templates) and Cinema 4D (modeling, lighting, animation)
- Communication: Ability to present ideas clearly, communicate motion concepts to non-technical partners, and drive cross-functional alignment
- Design Excellence: Strong storytelling, editing, and design fundamentals with proficiency in Premiere, Figma, typography, composition, and branding
- AI Exploration: Interest in generative AI tools (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, DALL-E) for concepting, storyboarding, and asset creation
- Agility: Ability to iterate quickly and manage high-volume deadlines while maintaining quality
What the job involves
- The In-house Design Studio is responsible for creating high-quality, best-in-class design materials, brand identities, and campaigns for our agents; evolving and refining the Compass brand; and partnering with other internal teams to maintain and raise creative excellence throughout the company
- Real estate is visual, emotional, and fast-moving — and at Compass, motion design is how we make technology feel human. Motion powers product launches, UI animation, and brand campaigns, turning static screens and strategic ideas into compelling visual narratives
- In this role, you’ll shape how agents, employees, and consumers experience Compass technology. You’ll transform product releases into engaging moments, translate complex UX flows into clear animations, and build scalable motion tools that help agents market themselves and their listings
- Lead Motion Strategy & Own the Narrative: Spearhead high-impact product launch and brand campaign videos. You will take projects from initial concept, research, and storyboarding all the way through to final render and compositing. You own the narrative from start to finish, generating vital excitement around new features and releases
- Bring UI to Life: Extrapolate UX/UI designs from Figma into meaningful, story-driven animations that make complex interactions and user flows immediately clear to our audience
- Build Scalable Systems: Champion operational excellence by developing robust, scalable motion templates and dynamic assets that agents can use to market themselves and their listings at scale
- Thrive in the Pace: Excel in a fast-paced environment where stunning aesthetics and crystal-clear communication must coexist, executing high-quality work without ever compromising on the details
Our take
Compass uses an AI-driven platform to smooth out and speed up the process of buying, selling, or renting property. It functions much like a traditional broker, but employs tech to reduce the time, uncertainty, cost and friction of transactions for buyers, sellers & agents.
It's disrupting a sector so far largely averse to tech innovation, allowing users to close deals in less time than the industry average of 30-45 days. Compass is now the largest independent real estate brokerage in the USA, with over 29,000 agents nationwide.
Recently, Compass acquired Anywhere Real Estate in a major leap that cements its place among the biggest players in US property. By uniting leading brokerage brands and expanding its agent network on a massive scale, Compass strengthens both its readch and its techn-driven platfrom. The move add new revenue opportunities and efficiencies, positioning the company to navigate today's tough housing market and shape the future of real estate.
