Performance Motion Designer

Who we are:

Adaptiq is a technology hub specializing in building, scaling, and supporting R&D teams for high-end, fast-growing product companies in a wide range of industries.

About the Product:

We power an AI-native performance marketing platform that engineers paid-social and affiliate creatives at scale across competitive, regulated sectors. Our system ingests briefs, derives audience insights, generates concepts, produces UGC-style and short-form video, deploys media buys, and feeds live data back into creative and budget optimization loops.

This solution supports over $100M in annual managed ad spend, handles multiple verticals - health and wellness, commerce, finance, mobile apps, and digital services - and meets strict regulatory and data-privacy requirements. 

About the Role:

You will own the end-to-end motion-creative pipeline for high-velocity performance campaigns. Working alongside strategists and media buyers, you’ll translate briefs and performance signals into scroll-stopping, sound-off video and motion graphics optimized for modern paid-social channels. Success is measured by hook engagement, retention, CTR, and downstream conversion - you’ll ship, analyze results, iterate, and scale variants in tight feedback loops.

This role demands full autonomy over AI-driven production systems, direct influence on multi-seven-figure ad budgets, and a mandate to stay ahead of every new generative model and editing tool. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Produce high-volume, performance-focused video and motion assets for paid social, including UGC-style ads, short-form clips, and advertorial/native content
• Craft thumbstop hooks and fast time-to-value in the first 1–3 seconds, optimized for sound-off viewing
• Deliver assets in multiple aspect ratios (9:16, 4:5, 1:1, 16:9), natively formatted for each placement
• Operate and advance a proprietary AI production pipeline for video, image, voice, and editing workflows
• Iterate at speed: expand winning concepts into variant trees and pivot away from underperformers within hours
• Edit and animate 2D elements, characters, and motion graphics that reinforce message and pacing
• Apply cinematic language, pacing, and composition principles to maximize viewer retention and emotional impact
• Collaborate with creative strategists and media buyers to translate briefs and performance data into improved assets
• Maintain quality, consistency, and brand compliance across multiple clients and regulated verticals

Required Competence and Skills:

• 4+ years in video editing/motion design - performance marketing, paid social, or DTC
• Strong hands-on experience with AI creative toolsets, including video generation (e.g., Runway, Kling, Sora, Higgsfield, Veo), image generation (e.g., Midjourney, Nano Banana, Seedream), voice/audio (e.g., ElevenLabs), and AI-assisted editing (e.g., CapCut, Descript, Adobe Firefly).
• Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro; strong working knowledge of Photoshop.
• Strong English communication skills, both spoken and written, for effective teamwork.
• Performance-driven creative instincts: focused on metrics like hook rate, hold rate, CTR, and conversion over aesthetic awards.
• Understanding what makes content perform well on platforms like Meta (Facebook/Instagram), TikTok, and similar short-form channels. 
• Technical aptitude and the ability to learn and integrate new tools and workflows independently.
• Proven team player who thrives in fast feedback loops and high-output environments.

Nice to Have:

• Hands-on experience with 3D animation or modeling.
• Background creating ads in regulated verticals such as telehealth, wellness, or finance.
• Familiarity with affiliate marketing networks and broad media-buying strategies.
