Job description

Join to apply for the Video Animator and Designer role at Somewhere .

We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented Video Animator and Designer to help us bring our brand to life through compelling visual content. You’ll be responsible for creating engaging product explainer videos, short-form social content, onboarding animations, and visual assets that align with the Trumpet brand. This is a highly collaborative role, ideal for someone who can take ideas from concept to polished execution — with a strong eye for modern design and a passion for visual storytelling.

You’ll work closely with our marketing and product teams to create visual experiences that resonate with sales teams, clients, and prospects alike.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create high-quality animations and videos to showcase product features, use cases, customer stories, and brand messages.
  • Design motion graphics and transitions for use across product tutorials, landing pages, and social platforms.
  • Collaborate with marketing and design teams to develop on-brand visual assets for campaigns, ads, and promotional materials.
  • Support the creation of micro-interactions and UI animations that enhance the digital experience.
  • Work from creative briefs and storyboards — and contribute your own ideas where you see room to elevate the content.
  • Optimize videos for web and mobile platforms (MP4, WebM, GIFs) and ensure seamless performance.
  • Stay current on design, video, and animation trends in the SaaS and sales tech space.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in video production, animation, or motion design
  • Proficient in tools such as After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma (or equivalent)
  • Strong storytelling skills with a knack for simplifying complex ideas into visual content
  • A sharp eye for typography, layout, and color — with the ability to adapt to a brand style guide
  • Experience working on product explainers, SaaS demos, onboarding videos, or micro-content for web
  • Portfolio of animation and design work is a must

    • Nice to Have

  • Familiarity with the SaaS, sales enablement, or B2B tech space
  • Experience editing videos for LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, or performance-based ad platforms
  • Basic understanding of HTML / CSS or tools like Webflow for embedding animations
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment with cross-functional collaboration

    • What Success Looks Like

  • Product features are turned into slick, digestible animations that improve engagement and comprehension
  • Brand visuals are consistently high-quality and reflect the personality and tone
  • Animation is used thoughtfully across the customer journey to reduce friction and improve retention

    • Compensation and Working Setup

  • Base Salary : $1200-$1700 Depending on experience and qualifications
  • Independent contractor agreement, paid at the end of each month
  • Must have own equipment and necessary software (Mac or Linux OS)
  • Start Date : Flexible – we prioritize finding the right fit over urgency
  • Working Hours : Monday to Friday, 9am–6pm UK hours
  • Location : Remote South Africa
