    Who We Are

    Hi We're The Heist, the production, post production and motion design arm of Thinkingbox, a global creative collective shaping the future of brands through craft and curiosity. Our team brings together unique perspectives in production, design, technology, and creativity that push the boundaries for our clients to create work that is uniquely ours. We are a curious bunch that loves to think big, continuously learn, and create. We love our culture and the natural collaboration that happens in and around our five offices, from dog parties, to happy hour Thursdays, to random team trips to Whistler, we maintain a vibrant work environment. However, for one month a year we encourage our people to explore the world. Try working from another office or even the beaches of Mexico and expand your worldview, then bring that experience back to the team.

    The Opportunity

    As a member of a small yet agile animation team you're going to have your hands and creative say on all things motion. Our diverse projects are going to push your creative boundaries on work from design to animation. You're going to be going from sketch to animation on micro-content campaigns, creating 2D and 3D assets to help realize AR projects, motion designing for projects ranging from smaller social media campaigns to short animated films.

    What you'll be doing

    • Breaking down scripts into clear and succinct storyboards that convey motion, and refined styleframes that show creative direction.
    • Work alongside the motion design team and helm projects to create considered and nuanced animation.
    • Pick up new processes and workflows to design and create animation across a myriad of styles.
    • Take an active leadership role on your projects and be clear and concise with feedback to your teammates.
    • Create assets and animation (2D or 3D) within guidelines or art direction set.
    • Offer creative input on projects during preproduction and production.
    • Staying organized.
    • Advise and accurately cost tasks and projects when required.

    What you'll bring

    • A portfolio that showcases amazing motion design across a variety of styles
    • 4-7+ years of working experience in a motion design capacity
    • 1+ year in a leadership / senior capacity.
    • Have a high degree of comfort working in Cinema 4D and Redshift.
    • Mastery of the Adobe Suite (AE, Premiere, PS, Illustrator).
    • Have a strong grasp of the animation pipeline.
    • Demonstrate a strong design taste that serves to compliment your motion design chops.
    • Working experience of XParticles, Marvelous Designer and/or Houdini is a big bonus.
    • Working knowledge of Substance Painter is a bonus.
    • A passion to further your skill sets driven by your own curiosity.
    • An ability to time manage and approach creative or technical roadblocks with a solution driven approach.

    Additional Info

    • This role is in the office Monday to Friday
    • Flexible time off, including paid vacation and sick days
    • Regular culture and team-building events
    • Employee recognition and incentive programs
    • Seasonal celebrations and gatherings
    • Branded company swag
    • Access to industry events and learning opportunities
    • Dog-friendly offices
    • Unlimited coffee, drinks, and snacks
    • Flexible work and travel options
    • Comprehensive extended health benefits

    At The Heist, we're committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength – it's the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions.
