We grew from $1M to $10M ARR in under 12 months and now serve 10,000+ customers.

Fonio is Europe's market leader for AI phone agents for SMBs. Now were expanding globally and into new products. We move fast, take ownership, give d... 1 Motion Designer (m/f/d) Your Role

As a Motion Designer at fonio, you own the entire production pipeline for video content, from pre-production through animation to post-production including sound design. You do all of this yourself.

You work closely with our marketing team: the Creative Strategist provides concept and brief, the Content Creator shoots footage, and you turn that into animated, edited, and sound-ready final products that perform on Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and our website.

You take full ownership of the motion workflow end-to-end. We are deliberately not looking for a pure animation role that hands off to post-production. We want someone who understands that a great product video is half about sound.

Your Responsibilitites

• Pre-production: concept sketches, storyboards, asset creation (vector graphics, visuals, UI mockups, screen recordings)
• Animation: motion graphics for paid social (Meta, TikTok, YouTube), website, product showcases, tutorials, and internal formats
• Post-production: video editing, cutting, pacing, color, transitions
• Sound design: appropriate sounds, sound effects, music selection, mixing. You understand that sound is what brings product videos to life
• Executing creative briefs, turning concepts into finished, performance-ready videos
• Iterating based on performance data: what works, what doesn't, and why
• Building a reusable motion asset library (templates, components, brand elements)

What to expect

• Full ownership over all of fonio's motion output, end-to-end, no handoffs
• Direct impact on an ad spend budget of over €700,000/month
• Close collaboration with the Creative Strategist, Content Creator, and Marketing Lead
• Short decision-making paths, fast pace, real autonomy
• Access to the latest AI tools for motion (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)

Who We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 1-3 years of experience in motion design and animation
• Native in After Effects. There is no motion design without AE, and you work in it faster than most people work in PowerPoint
• Strong skills in a video editing tool (Premiere, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or comparable)
• Command of the full production pipeline: pre-production (asset creation, concepting), animation, post-production (editing, color, sound design), all in one person
• Sound design understanding. You know that a great product video is half about sound and can use effects and music to bring videos to life
• Solid grasp of motion graphics animation principles (timing, easing, anticipation, weight)
• Portfolio featuring digital and software product videos. We want to see that you can tell UI stories through motion
• Fluent English, German at C1 level

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Cinema 4D, Figma, or other design and 3D tools
• Experience with AI video tools (Runway, Sora, Kling, etc.)
• Background in performance creative environments (B2B SaaS, DTC, etc.)

What We Offer

• €65,000-100,000 gross annual salary (depending on experience)
• On-site in Vienna
• Relocation package (if relevant)
• Top equipment and access to the latest AI tools
• Direct collaboration with founders and a strong marketing team
• A product that scales, and creatives you'll actually see live and track the performance of

Hiring Process

• 15 min hiring manager intro call
• 45 min case and technical interview (including a short motion task)
• 20 min conversation on culture, expectations, and details
