Art Director / Sr Graphic Designer (Hyderabad - WFO, 3 to 5 years exp) About the Role We’re not looking for a “conventional designer.” We’re looking for a visual thinker who understands design fundamentals and knows how to work smart with AI. This role is for someone who can think like a designer, move like a technologist, and learn like a startup founder. Someone who sees AI not as a shortcut—but as a creative amplifier. If you love exploring ideas, experimenting with tools, and pushing visual storytelling into the future, you’ll feel at home here. About Us Animotion is a creative-first studio working at the intersection of strategy, design, storytelling, and technology. We partner with ambitious brands to create meaningful experiences—not just good-looking outputs. We value curiosity over convention, thinking over tools, and momentum over perfection. What You’ll Do Think & Create Turn abstract ideas into strong visual concepts across brand, presentations, events, films, and digital experiences. Build visual systems that are clean, expressive, and purposeful—not just trendy. Design with AI (the smart way) Use AI tools to accelerate ideation, explore styles, create variations, and prototype faster. Write prompts, experiment, iterate, and curate outputs with a designer’s eye. Know when AI helps—and when human judgment matters more. Craft Experiences Design for events, presentations, and brand moments—from invites and collaterals to immersive visuals. Elevate storytelling through layout, typography, motion, and visual rhythm. Collaborate & Evolve Work closely with content, strategy, motion, and leadership teams. Actively experiment with new tools, workflows, and formats—and help evolve how design is done here. What We’re Looking For Design Fundamentals (Non-Negotiable) Strong understanding of layout, hierarchy, typography, color, and visual storytelling. Ability to explain why a design works—not just how it looks. AI-Native Mindset Hands-on experience or strong interest in AI-powered creative tools (image generation, ideation, motion, layout, or workflow acceleration). Ability to refine, elevate, and humanize AI-generated outputs. Awareness of originality, ethics, and brand consistency in AI usage. Growth Energy Curious, self-driven, and excited about learning. Comfortable with ambiguity, experimentation, and fast iteration. Sees feedback as fuel—not friction. Tools You’ll Likely Use Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) Presentation tools (PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote) AI tools like Midjourney, Firefly, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, or similar Whatever new tool drops next month—and the one after that (Tool list will evolve. Your mindset matters more.) Experience & Education 3 to 5 years of relevant experience (flexible if your work speaks louder) Degree optional. Ideas, craft, and curiosity matter more. A portfolio that shows thinking, experimentation, and evolution—not just polished finals.
