Motion Graphic Designer

About Lumify Energy

Lumify Energy is a specialist renewable-energy consultancy helping landowners and organisations understand and protect their interests in energy projects.

We produce educational YouTube content covering financial, legal, technical and commercial topics. Our content must be credible, accurate and visually engaging.

We already have an established brand and video style guide, alongside experienced video editors who produce the complete videos. We are now looking for a specialist Motion Graphics Designer to help us communicate complex information more clearly through high-quality explanatory animation.

The Role

We are looking for a talented Motion Graphics Designer with excellent information-design and graphic-design skills, capable of transforming complex material into clear, accurate and engaging animations.

You will work with scripts, data and technical explanations to develop charts, revenue comparisons, timelines, numerical examples, process diagrams and visual representations of legal or commercial structures.

We want someone who can go beyond simply animating supplied instructions. You should be comfortable interpreting complex information, identifying the central message and independently recommending how best to communicate it visually.

You'll work closely with our YouTube Video Strategist, content specialists and video editors to ensure every visual is accurate, purposeful and consistent with Lumify Energy's established brand and video style.

We value creativity, thoughtful design and exceptional attention to detail. Every asset should undergo careful self-review before submission, including checks for numerical accuracy, typography, visual clarity, animation quality and brand consistency.

This is not a full-video editing role. You will produce specialist motion graphics assets for integration into videos by our editors.

Key Responsibilities

Develop Explanatory Concepts

1. Review scripts, data and approved source information.
2. Identify the central message each visual needs to communicate.
3. Independently recommend clear and effective visual approaches for complex concepts.
4. Develop storyboards or static concepts for approval before beginning detailed animation.
5. Ask appropriate questions where information is incomplete, ambiguous or potentially misleading.

Design Accurate, Information-Rich Visuals

• Create original charts, diagrams, comparisons and timelines.
• Design animated numerical and financial examples.
• Visualise legal, contractual, commercial and technical processes.
• Apply strong visual hierarchy, typography, labels and accurate scales.
• Carefully verify facts, figures and visual relationships against approved source information.

Create Branded Animation

• Produce polished, purposeful animation that supports the spoken narrative.
• Follow Lumify Energy's brand and video style guidelines accurately.
• Use motion thoughtfully, improving understanding without distracting from the content.
• Maintain visual consistency across recurring content and video series.
• Develop reusable graphics, components and templates where appropriate.
• Complete thorough self-QA before submitting work for review.

Collaborate and Deliver

• Work closely with the YouTube Video Strategist, content specialists and video editors.
• Present clear visual concepts or static frames for approval before detailed animation.
• Respond constructively to feedback and incorporate agreed revisions accurately.
• Deliver high-quality work within agreed project scopes, milestones and deadlines.
• Provide organised, editable source files, exports and reusable assets.
• Ensure graphics and project files integrate smoothly with the video editors' workflows.
• Communicate proactively about progress, questions and potential delivery risks.

Qualifications & Skills

1. A strong portfolio demonstrating explanatory motion graphics that you personally designed and animated.
2. Excellent graphic design, typography, visual hierarchy and storytelling skills.
3. Experience designing charts, diagrams, data visualisations or other information-rich graphics.
4. Advanced proficiency in professional tools such as Adobe After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma or equivalent software.
5. Strong conceptual judgement and the ability to simplify complex information into clear visual explanations.
6. Exceptional attention to numerical accuracy, labels, scales and approved source information.
7. Ability to understand unfamiliar or technical subjects, ask appropriate questions and exercise independent judgement.
8. Experience working within established brand and video guidelines.
9. High personal quality standards, strong self-review habits and attention to detail.
10. Ability to receive feedback professionally and manage revisions efficiently.
11. Reliable communication, ownership of deadlines and effective remote collaboration.
12. Access to the software, equipment and internet connection required to deliver professional-quality work.
13. Ability to provide complete, organised and editable project and source files.
14. Experience producing educational, corporate or B2B content would be an advantage.
