Motion Designer

💡 About Liftoff

Our Mission: Making the world a healthier place by gamifying fitness

Liftoff is the Duolingo of fitness, empowering anyone to start and stay at the gym so they develop healthier, more powerful habits.

We’re a mission-driven team that moves fast, owns the details, and does the work. We’re fully bootstrapped, profitable, and built from zero to $10M+ ARR in under three years.

🌟 About the Team

You'll join the Product team, working alongside our UI/UX Designer, Product Managers, Engineering, and Marketing.

Motion is what makes our product feel like a game instead of a spreadsheet. Levels, streaks, unlocks, and our mascot Jymbo all live or die on how they move.

🎯 About the Role

We're hiring a Motion & Graphics Designer to own everything that moves at Liftoff, in the app and in our marketing.

This is a motion-first role with real graphic design range. You'll animate characters, build in-app motion, cut marketing assets, and design the static graphics that sit around them.

Your core focus areas:

• Character animation for Jymbo and the wider cast

• In-app motion design: transitions, celebrations, unlocks, state changes

• Animated graphics for features, shop items, and collectibles

• Marketing assets: social, ads, App Store, launch content

• Animatics and storyboards that let the team see a feature before it's built

• Graphic design to support all of the above

✅ What Success Looks Like

• Motion that ships in the product. Files hand off cleanly and perform on devices.

• Jymbo feels alive. A character with a consistent personality across dozens of animations.

• Marketing assets that travel. Content built to be shared, not just posted.

• A documented motion language: timing, easing, and reusable patterns the whole team can pull from.
