About the Design Team

project44 has a multidisciplinary design team that acts as a silver thread running throughout the business and product. From brand, to product, to user research, and design systems, we use design to differentiate and position ourselves as the market leader. We start every project with customer research, and ensure that we're proud of everything we ship.

You will be an expert in the art of motion graphics and are constantly evolving and mastering new 2D and 3D tools to work towards your creative vision.

This role will collaborate and work closely with cross-functional teams to concept and execute compelling stories through motion. We'd love to see you apply if you have a background in owning product experiences end-to-end and growing culture at your design team.
