Multidisciplinary Digital Designer - Brand, Motion & Social (m/f/d)

Multidisciplinary Digital Designer - Brand, Motion & Social (m/f/d)

Who we are

Studio Now is the creative and design arm of Moonbase, a social-first marketing agency.

Between the two, our work spans the full range: high-craft 2D and 3D motion, brand development and design systems on one end, and fast-moving social and performance creative on the other.

We're a small, senior team, and we're looking to grow it.

That's not a figure of speech: you'd work closely with us every single day, with real ownership over the work from the start.

The honest version of this role

Most design jobs pick a lane. This one doesn't - and we'd rather say so up front.

Some weeks you'll be deep in the craft: building a brand system, animating a 3D sequence, developing a motion language from scratch.

Other weeks are faster and more production-heavy: editing, cutting versions across markets, turning around social assets on a deadline.

Both matter, and both get done well.

The range is the whole game.

Someone who's bored the moment the work gets simple isn't the fit; neither is someone who can only do the simple part.

We're looking for the rarer profile.

Genuinely strong at the high end, and quick and unfussy at the everyday end.

• What you'd be doing
• Brand and motion work: brand development, design systems, and 2D/3D motion. "Brand IN motion" is our headline and where we're strongest
• Social and performance creative: video editing (Premiere Pro/Da Vinci), motion graphics and animation (After Effects), feed and story assets, and ad creative across multiple markets
• Designing in Figma and Photoshop across the full range, from polished client deliverables to quick internal assets
• Working shoulder-to-shoulder with us on basically everything. Pitching ideas, solving problems, and shipping
• Building internal tools, small apps and sites with us, including with AI and code
• Who we're looking for
• A genuinely multidisciplinary (motion) designer. Someone who's built a career doing many things well rather than one thing narrowly
• Strong in motion: fluent in After Effects, and ideally Cinema 4D or Blender for 3D
• Outstanding design and brand sensibility: comfortable in Figma and CC, with a real understanding of brand work
• Comfortable with video editing in Premiere Pro (or equivalent) for the more production-heavy work
• Someone who wants a small team: close daily collaboration, no hiding, lots of ownership, and the flexibility that comes with it
• AI-native and explorative by instinct. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be the kind of person who gets excited about a new tool and just starts experimenting
• Hands-on mentality. On a team this size, everyone does everything
• Nice to have
• 3D beyond the basics (Cinema 4D, Redshift/Octane, etc.)
• Experience building or tinkering with small tools, sites, or automations
• A portfolio that shows range — not five versions of the same thing
• German is a plus, given much of the team and a number of our clients are German-speaking
• Tools we live in

After Effects · Figma · Creative Cloud · Cinema 4D · and an increasingly weird, fun AI toolkit

• Life at the studio
• A small team, and you work with the people you're working for. No layers, no ticket queues, no briefs handed down from someone you've never met
• Real ownership. You'll be in on pitches, ideas and decisions, not just execution
• Craft that's actually seen. The high-end work is why we exist, and it's the direction the studio is heading. You'd be part of pushing it further
• A genuinely AI-native environment.

We're not "exploring AI" in a slide deck.

We use it daily in our animation and design workflows and to build our own tools and sites — with real license to bring in whatever works

• ACTUALLY Remote-first. Not hybrid, not "remote-friendly." Home base within +/– 3 hours of CET, and up to 5 months a year working from anywhere in the world
• Yearly learning & development budget to spend on genuinely developing your craft.
