Senior Motion Designer, Search And Maps Marketing

Senior Motion Designer, Search and Maps Marketing

As a Creative in Marketing, you bring visual, design, written, and experiential acumen to Google products and services, presented across all major media, content, channels, and experiences. You have the ability to perform your role in a flexible, ever-changing environment and must be open to new influences and inspiration. You will work with a deeply cross-functional team and inspire a team of vendor partners by sharing ideas and developing effective solutions to generate multiple concepts supporting all forms of major media. You will be equally comfortable making; rolling up your sleeves and designing, mocking, writing, or prototyping; showing, not telling. Above all, you will inspire and lead by example by making the most of every opportunity to develop breakthrough creative, consistent with the Google Marketing brand, and be able to take and provide clear direction and creative feedback that pushes work forward.

The Google Search Marketing team serves as the guardian for the Search brand, ensuring global resonance through storytelling across social, broadcast, and physical activations. This group grows on solving ambiguity and driving excellence across an ecosystem of channels with internal product partners to define how the world experiences Search. As Senior Motion Designer, you will lead the brand's motion language, ensuring clear and iconic animated visual storytelling across all channels. This role combines motion, graphic, and product design. You will partner with internal teams while directing external studios, filmmakers, and animators. We are looking for a collaborative team player who excels at navigating ambiguity and driving creative excellence.

Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google's products solve the world's problems--from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can--changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.
