Motion Designer in Filip Morris Ukrayina*

A partner of the tobacco company "Philip Morris Sales and Distribution", an affiliate company of "Philip Morris International" in Ukraine, invites you to cooperate as -Motion Designer (Middle)

Location: Kyiv / Hybrid

Company: Philip Morris Ukraine

Brands: IQOS, ZYN

IQOS is a brand that needs no introduction. ZYN is the #1 nicotine pouch brand in the US* (this is a disclaimer, because lawyers say it should be), which is starting to reveal its potential in Ukraine.

We are creating a better customer experience in a niche, and we are currently looking for a Middle Motion Designer - someone who knows how to "animate" visuals and create dynamic content that stops scrolling.

Why it is interesting:

• Working with top brands: you will work with world-class brands, developing and adapting them to the Ukrainian market.
• Creative inside: we are an in-house team. We do not have a "broken phone" through agencies. You work directly with brand managers and designers.
• Influence on the result: Your animations will be seen by millions of users on social networks, YouTube. We value not just "hands", but your vision of how to improve the dynamics of the brand.
• Culture: minimal bureaucracy (we created the maximum conditions so that this does not happen in the corporation), openness to new ideas.

What you do in the role:

• Creation of animated videos for digital campaigns (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Display Ads) for IQOS brands and ZYN.
• "Revitalization" of static layouts: working in conjunction with graphic designers, transforming visuals into dynamic content.
• Adaptation of global video materials and local filming to the necessary formats and requirements (resizes, localization of titles, editing, animation).
• Participation in creative team brainstorms: we expect you to propose how it is better to show the idea in motion, and not just execute TK.

As for hard skills, it is important to us:

• Experience: 2+ years of work as a Motion Designer (in an agency, product company or freelance).
• Tools: confident mastery of Adobe After Effects (this is your base), Premiere Pro.
• Graphic package: understanding of Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop and the ability to prepare files for animation.
• Figma: you know how to take a layout from a designer, export assets and not break anything along the way.
• Basics: understanding the principles of animation, timing, composition and rhythm. You feel the difference between "just moving" and "living".
• A plus: basic skills in Cinema 4D or Blender (for simple 3D scenes or packshots).
• A portfolio is a must. Show your showreel or best cases.
• Experience with AI is preferred.

What you will get:

• Work with brands that shape the market and set trends.
• Office in Podil with a view of the Dnipro and the possibility of a hybrid schedule.
• Competitive salary.
• Health insurance and programs well-being.
• Access to learning platforms and professional development.

How hiring happens:

We want both parties to really understand if we are a good fiteach other Our process:

• CV and portfolio review (it is important for us to see your works before the next steps).
• Call with the recruiter.
• Interview with Hiring Manager and/or Head of Function.
• Test task.
• Job-offer

Pitfalls we want to warn about:

Regulated Industry: We work with products that have legal restrictions on advertising. You have to be ready to learn these rules and create within them (this is also a kind of challenge for creativity).

Processes: we are a big company, so agreeing creatives is an important part of the job. Systematization and attention to detail are a must have here.
