Associate Motion Designer, In-House Agency - Hybrid

THE TEAM

We're a full-service internal agency that just happens to take up residence inside a global health company. A company with an incredibly ambitious mission: to improve the health and vitality of those we serve. We show up every day to advance this mission for The Cigna Group, Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Health Services. It takes a heck of a lot of grit. But most importantly, it takes our unique blend of health care expertise and artful storytelling to craft the meaningful campaigns, content and experiences that inspire healthy action.

POSITION SUMMARY

Our internal agency is seeking an Associate Motion Designer to join our studio team, reporting directly to the Executive Content Producer. You will be a fundamental part of our team, contributing to, motion graphics/animation, video, and social content projects across all dimensions of The Cigna Group and our two go-to-market brands Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Health Services (D2C, B2B, B2B2C). To do this, you'll need to be both a creative and pragmatic thinker who brings ideas to life based on deep experience and a high standard for your craft. All of this with the goal of delivering meaningful brand experiences for our customers, clients and partners.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Partner with Creative and Studio Teams to bring insight-driven creative video/motion projects of all sizes to life with thoughtful motion design and animation for both internal and external audiences.

• Confidently bring, articulate, and defend conceptual and creative ideas within internal creative reviews, brainstorms and edit sessions, to get to the best possible final cut.

• Collaborate efficiently with producers, editors, and other members of the Studio team to creatively solve problems from storyboard through the final cut.

• Demonstrate a curiosity to stay on top of emerging trends, keep the pulse of industry best practices and look for ways to use them both to improve your craft.

• Act as a steward for our family of brands, responsible for maintaining consistency of visual identity across all experiences.
