A client with Kforce is seeking a Video Editor and Motion Graphics Designer to join their team in Mountain View, CA. Overview: As a Contract Motion Art Director, you will lead the execution and scaling of motion content across the client's growing network of retail locations and digital surfaces. Working under a clear creative strategy and motion system defined by our in-house creative team, you will serve as the creative lead for motion production, managing a broader motion team to bring that system to life across hundreds of in-store and social placements. You are fluent in motion principles, systems thinking, and executional finesse. You know how to maintain visual and behavioral consistency across a high volume of deliverables, and you can speak the language of spatial experience, audience behavior, and digital signage with ease. While this is a directing-first role, you are comfortable working within a range of animation software to guide the team or troubleshoot when needed. If you're a detail-driven, production-savvy motion leader who thrives on process and polish, we want you to help shape the future of the client's retail and digital experiences. How you will lead:
  • Critique motion work with clarity - identifying gaps, upholding brand systems, and giving precise, actionable direction to internal or external partners
  • Maintain fidelity to our established motion system while adapting deliverables across formats, use cases, and audience types
  • Partner with copy and editorial leads to localize messaging and tailor content for specific markets, screen types, and customer needs
  • Own and manage the motion production pipeline - tracking deliverables, managing file structure, overseeing QC, and ensuring timely, on-brand delivery
  • Present confidently to creative leads and stakeholders - clearly articulating the strategy, creative decisions, and technical rationale behind the work

Requirements:

Experience and portfolio:
  • Demonstrated experience leading motion production and managing animation output at scale, utilizing both custom content variants as well as templates and toolkits
  • Demonstrated experience in digital out-of-home, in-store displays, signage, social templates
  • Demonstrated experience working within established brand motion systems, adapting style and tone for localized or personalized placements without losing the original heart of the system
Creative and technical fluency:
  • Acute knowledge of tempo, sequencing, rhythm, and motion utility - especially in retail and attention-based contexts
  • Fluency in spatial and digital animation techniques, with understanding of how motion affects decision-making across environments
  • Strong command of After Effects (with plug-ins/scripts), Figma, and Adobe Creative Suite with fluency in file handoff, production workflows, and file organization and storage
  • Proficiency in motion template development through the Adobe Suite, as well as ability to translate and adapt motion systems for third-party apps like Canva, Google, and Keynote
  • Comfortable managing large motion asset libraries and QC workflows

The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.

We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.

Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.

This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
