Multidisciplinary Digital Designer - Brand, Motion & Social (m/f/d)Salary range: 45.000 € - 55.000 € p.a.
Who we areStudio 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 roleMost 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 doingBrand and motion work: brand development, design systems, and 2D/3D motion. "Brand IN motion" is our headline and where we're strongestSocial and performance creative: video editing (Premiere Pro/DaVinci), motion graphics and animation (After Effects), feed and story assets, and ad creative across multiple marketsDesigning in Figma and Photoshop across the full range, from polished client deliverables to quick internal assetsWorking shoulder-to-shoulder with us on basically everything. Pitching ideas, solving problems, and shippingBuilding internal tools, small apps and sites with us, including with AI and code
Who we're looking forA genuinely multidisciplinary (motion) designer. Someone who's built a career doing many things well rather than one thing narrowlyStrong in motion: fluent in After Effects, and ideally Cinema 4D or Blender for 3DOutstanding design and brand sensibility: comfortable in Figma and CC, with a real understanding of brand workComfortable with video editing in Premiere Pro (or equivalent) for the more production-heavy workSomeone who wants a small team: close daily collaboration, no hiding, lots of ownership, and the flexibility that comes with itAI-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 experimentingHands-on mentality. On a team this size, everyone does everything
Nice to have3D beyond the basics (Cinema 4D, Redshift/Octane, etc.)Experience building or tinkering with small tools, sites, or automationsA portfolio that shows range — not five versions of the same thingGerman is a plus, given much of the team and a number of our clients are German-speaking
Tools we live inAfter Effects · Figma · Creative Cloud · Cinema 4D · and an increasingly weird, fun AI toolkit
Life at the studioA 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 metReal ownership. You'll be in on pitches, ideas and decisions, not just executionCraft 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 furtherA 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 worksACTUALLY 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 worldYearly learning & development budget to spend on genuinely developing your craft.
How to applySkip the traditional cover letter. Give us your elevator pitch instead: what drives you, a project you're proud of, and a reel or portfolio that does the talking. We care far more about range and taste than a formatted CV.
