Who We Are

We are creators who live to be original.

For the past two decades, we’ve been building a playground for the creation of original work. A place where a diverse collective of artists, thinkers and makers can express themselves, be bold, and experiment freely. A place where brands come to be authentic, challenge conformity and stand out from the crowd.

We’re not simply a design studio, production company, or visual effects house. We’re a modern creative company. We strategize, we ideate, we design, we create, we make. We go wherever our pursuit of originality takes us.

To be original requires a new school of thought. We are Brand New School.

What We're Looking for

Leading design and creative studio, Brand New School is seeking an Animation Director (2D) for a full-time hybrid role at our LA studio. We are looking for someone who has mastered 2D animation (After Effects and motion design), has a passion for storytelling, and knows how to mentor others. Knowledge of Cinema4D is a bonus, as it’s a tool used in addition to our Maya pipeline. This means you’ve developed a strong personal style but are still capable of working outside of your wheelhouse. You’re a clear and easy communicator, great manager of projects and people, has a defined creative process, and is willing to take a leadership role in the department.

Our team is creative, energetic, widely respected and full of talented, intelligent artists. With ~60 employees across the United States, we are a tight community with one common goal - making great work.

Responsibilities

Lead, manage, and work closely with 2D animation teams.

Continue improving processes and ensuring quality output.

Work with design teams to accomplish creative goal of a project and its team.

Partner with our Maya CG Supervisor on projects leveraging Cinema4D.

Balance the demands of producing exceptional work while also satisfying the needs of our clients.

Manage multiple projects in a collaborative and creative environment.

Collaborate with producers and creative directors to help resource jobs, plan production pipelines, manage workflow and manage deadlines.

Be an active participant and contribute to the creative culture of the studio.

Qualifications

Mastery of Adobe Suite software, especially After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, TVPaint, and 3D animation skills are a plus but not a mandate.

Ability to 2D character animate—via cel animation, character rigging, shape layers.

Mastery of motion-graphics style animation effects.

Animation, Design, or related degree, along with relevant work experience.

Minimum 8 years experience, with at least 3 years as a senior animator.

Deep familiarity with workflow, saving and rendering best practices.

Familiar working on projects for all major content platforms.

Know how to take creative direction, respond to feedback in a timely manner and be respectful of project deadlines.

Benefits

Competitive salary

Health, dental, vision, life and disability insurance

One Medical account

Company sponsored continued education

Peer bonus system

Generous PTO / sick leave

Company administered 401(k) plan

Peloton digital membership (12 month)

Dog friendly work environment

Salary Range

$145,000 - $195,000
