We work together because it helps us move faster, collaborate closely, and produce better work. You should expect to be in the office as your default in your chosen hub. • This is a high trust environment. You’ll have real ownership, clear responsibility, and room to shape how things are done. • We care about pace, but also craft. The standard matters. • This role suits people who want responsibility, autonomy, and visible impact. • WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT • Ownership of motion at one of Europe’s fastest-growing AI companies • Real budget and mandate to build the function properly • High-impact work seen by customers, prospects, and the market • Close partnership with a senior marketing and design team • Competitive salary and meaningful equity

Responsibilities

• Create launch videos, feature announcements, and product animations • Turn abstract workflows into clear visual stories that land quickly • Build a motion system of templates, transitions, components, and export standards • Produce social content, event openers, conference loops, and sales enablement assets • Partner with writers, designers, and producers from concept to final delivery • Brief and manage freelancers when extra capacity is needed • Help define how motion supports brand, growth, and product storytelling • Use AI tools to improve quality, speed, and creative range

Benefits

• Motion is one of the fastest ways to show people what Wordsmith actually does. • A strong product animation can communicate more in 30 seconds than a long case study ever will. • This is a founding motion role. You’ll define how Wordsmith moves, feels, and tells product stories through video. You’ll build the systems that let us scale high-quality output and shape how the market experiences our brand. • If you care about craft, speed, and work that directly drives growth, this is a rare opportunity. • We’re growing quickly, shipping fast, and building products customers genuinely need. • There is huge demand, strong momentum, and no shortage of meaningful stories to tell. • If you want your motion work to influence brand, pipeline, and product perception at scale, this is a strong place to do it.
