About Catalyst Growth
Catalyst Growth is a digital marketing agency built on bold ideas and high-impact visuals. We specialise in UGC, static, and motion-led paid social creatives for fast-growing DTC brands around the world. Everything we create is designed to stop the scroll, drive engagement, and deliver performance at scale.
Role Description
We’re looking for a Junior Motion Designer to join our growing creative team. You’ll work closely with our Design Team and wider performance team to bring brand stories to life through short-form motion content for paid social.
This role is ideal for someone early in their motion career who’s excited by social-first animation, understands how motion drives performance, and wants to sharpen their skills across high-volume, high-impact ad creative.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and deliver motion-led paid social creatives for client accounts (short-form animations, kinetic typography, animated memes, simple video edits)
- Support the Design Team on both motion and static ad creatives
- Adapt static designs into engaging motion assets optimised for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Meta, and YouTube Shorts
- Collaborate with strategists, performance marketers, and clients to respond to creative briefs and feedback
- Stay on top of social trends, formats, hooks, and platform updates
- Use tools like Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Figma to produce polished, platform-ready assets
- Contribute ideas and feedback within a collaborative creative culture
About You
- 1–2+ years of experience in motion design, ideally within an agency, social, or digital-first environment
- A portfolio showcasing social-first motion work (paid ads, short-form content, animated graphics)
- Strong foundation in After Effects, with working knowledge of Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator
- Understanding of how motion, pacing, and hooks impact performance in paid social
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with quick turnarounds and iterations
- Experience with DTC brands is a plus
- Curious about AI tools, automation, and new ways to speed up or enhance creative output
- A clear communicator who enjoys collaborating with both creatives and non-creatives
Work Setup
We’re based in London and operate a hybrid working model, with 2 days per week in our Elephant & Castle office.
