Senior Designer (Graphic & Motion) – Fixed-Term Contract for 3 Months

Office location: Španskih boraca, Belgrade – Hybrid working (3 days in the office)

About the Role and the Team

As a Senior Designer, you will create beautifully integrated, design-led, high-impact communications that creatively solve communication challenges while making our brand feel distinctive and dynamic. You will use motion and animation to help tell compelling stories, combined with AI-assisted workflows to deliver work more efficiently without compromising on creative quality and craft.

What Will You Be Doing?

Concept & Design

• Take briefs from across the organisation and develop concepts, designs (digital and print), graphics, motion and animation across the full communications portfolio, including web, digital advertising, email, social media, direct marketing and offline print.
• Use AI-powered design tools, including generative image, video and motion tools, to rapidly prototype concepts, explore creative directions and produce production-ready assets more efficiently, while applying strong creative judgement to ensure AI-generated output meets brand and quality standards.
• Work closely with UX, UI, marketing and copywriting teams to bring content and creative ideas to life, incorporating motion and interactive elements where they strengthen the message. Ensure creative solutions work hand in hand with key messaging to encourage customer action.
• Present concepts to stakeholders, including AI-generated exploratory concepts and motion storyboards/animatics, and incorporate feedback as appropriate. Strong collaboration and presentation skills are essential.
• Champion the customer by continually looking for ways to improve the customer experience through creative UI, visual design and motion execution.

Design & Creative Champion

• Act as a brand and creative champion for design execution, including the consistent and effective application of AI-assisted design and motion within brand guidelines. Deliver against brand guidelines, proactively identify and close gaps, and evolve templates where needed.
• Be a trusted senior design voice within the business and a go-to person for design, including advocating for the responsible and effective use of AI in creative work.
• Stay actively involved in commercial and KPI targets for the website and optimisation programme, including testing how motion and AI-generated variants can impact performance.

Design & Technical Expertise

• Maintain your technical knowledge by staying connected to the wider creative community, with a particular focus on digital design, motion design and emerging AI design tools and workflows.
• Maintain strong, hands-on motion design capabilities, using tools such as After Effects or equivalent, as well as AI-assisted creative tools, keeping your skills current as the toolset evolves.
• Bring external creative inspiration and new AI and motion techniques into the business to ensure our creative output remains fresh and ahead of the curve.

Teamwork, Cooperation & Planning

• Actively contribute to cross-functional creative workshops, sharing ideas around AI tools and motion techniques and contributing to creative discussions at a senior level.
• Plan and manage time allocation across creative and design projects, including AI-assisted and motion-based work, contributing to a shared and transparent calendar with stakeholders.
• Work within our creative project management platform, Jira, to accept briefs, respond to stakeholders and contribute to sprint planning and resource allocation. Keep project statuses up to date and proactively highlight and escalate where project prioritisation is required.
• Play an active role in prioritising design tasks and reporting on project throughput.

What We Are Looking For

• Extensive senior-level direct-to-consumer design experience, with ownership of brand and campaign output in an in-house or agency environment.
• Proven hands-on motion design experience, including concept development, storyboarding and animated content production.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted design tools in production, with strong prompt engineering and art direction skills.
• A senior-level portfolio demonstrating a strong range of digital, print and motion design work.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, with strong skills in After Effects and Premiere Pro.
• Experience creating animated social content, digital advertising, email graphics and short-form video. Experience with Cinema 4D and Lottie/Bodymovin would be an advantage.
• Experience building HTML5 templates is desirable.
• Ability to manage and prioritise multiple briefs, work independently and collaboratively, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Confidence presenting creative concepts and rationale to senior stakeholders.
• A proactive interest in AI and emerging design technologies, with the ability to balance efficiency, creative quality and brand integrity.
