About the Role This senior, hands-on role defines and builds scalable, real-time motion experiences for American Football titles. It combines exceptional motion design craft with deep Unreal Engine implementation across modular UI motion systems, broadcast graphics, celebration moments, and authoring tools. The role partners closely with UI/UX, engineering, technical art, VFX, and art direction, and reports to the XD Director. Success is demonstrated through a cohesive premium motion language, performant and scalable motion systems, and polished, responsive, readable, and emotionally rewarding presentation moments. It also aims to enable content creators to produce varied, context-aware experiences through established tools and templates and to raise the quality of motion design craft and real-time systems.
Key Responsibilities Design and implement high-quality UI motion, broadcast graphics, transitions, feedback, and celebration experiences directly in Unreal Engine.
Build modular, reusable, and extensible motion systems that support multiple modes, teams, features, content types, and presentation contexts.
Develop scalable authoring tools, templates, and data-driven workflows that enable designers and content creators to build customised and user-generated experiences without bespoke engineering support.
Translate Figma mocks, animatics, and visual targets into production-ready, engine-native motion with strong pacing, hierarchy, readability, and emotional impact.
Partner with UI/UX, engineering, technical art, VFX, and art direction to ensure solutions are visually expressive, technically maintainable, and performant at runtime.
Collaborate to establish motion patterns, implementation standards, and best practices that create a consistent motion language while allowing the experience to grow over time.
Provide senior-level craft guidance, feedback, and problem-solving across both motion design and real-time implementation.




Required Experience & Qualifications 10–15+ years of technical motion design experience across games, interactive media, broadcast, film, television, or high-end digital products.
Expert-level proficiency in Unreal Engine, After Effects, and Cinema 4D, with the ability to move confidently between concept, animation, technical implementation, and final in-engine delivery.
Strong hands‑on knowledge of Unreal workflows such as UMG, Common UI, Sequencer, Blueprints, animation curves, materials, and data-driven content systems.
A portfolio demonstrating exceptional motion design fundamentals, including timing, rhythm, composition, typography, transitions, hierarchy, and visual storytelling.
Experience building systemic, modular, and reusable solutions, rather than relying exclusively on one-off animations or pre-rendered assets.
Strong understanding of UI/UX, broadcast design, accessibility, and player comprehension, with the judgment to balance spectacle, clarity, responsiveness, and runtime performance.
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to independently drive complex work across creative and technical disciplines.
Preferred Skills Experience with sports broadcast packages, film or television graphics, title design, or fictional user interface design (FUI).
