Senior 3D Animator

Are you an experienced 3D Animator ready to take creative ownership and help shape standout animation projects from concept to final delivery? We create high-quality TV ads, explainer videos, product demos and branded content. We’re looking for a talented and technically strong 3D Animator who can elevate our work, bring ideas to life with confidence, and play a key role within our growing studio. This isn’t an entry-level role — we’re looking for someone who can lead sequences, solve complex creative and technical challenges, and contribute to the development of our animation pipeline. The Role As a Senior 3D Animator, you will: - Lead the creation of high-quality 3D animations from storyboard through to final render. ● Take ownership of projects or key sequences, ensuring creative excellence and technical precision. ● Collaborate closely with directors, designers, editors and clients to bring creative visions to life. ● Develop and refine 3D assets for animation, VFX projects. ● Design and implement advanced lighting, shading and rendering setups to achieve broadcast-quality results. ● Handle complex animation tasks including character animation, product animation, simulations and motion graphics. ● Contribute to compositing, post-production and final delivery workflows. ● Optimise scenes and troubleshoot technical challenges efficiently. ● Help improve studio workflows, pipelines and production processes. ● Mentor and support junior animators where required. ● Stay ahead of industry trends, tools and emerging technologies. What We’re Looking For - 3+ years’ professional experience in 3D animation (studio or agency environment preferred). ● Strong proficiency in Blender (our primary tool). Experience in Maya and/or Cinema 4D is highly transferable. - Excellent understanding of animation principles, timing, weight and performance. ● Strong knowledge of lighting, rendering and material workflows. ● Experience with compositing and post-production processes. ● Solid grasp of composition, colour theory and visual storytelling. ● Understanding of rigging and scene optimisation. ● Ability to interpret briefs and contribute creatively — not just execute. ● Strong problem-solving ability and attention to detail. ● Confident communicator, comfortable working collaboratively and, where required, client-facing. ● Excellent organisation and time management skills. A strong, professional showreel demonstrating high-quality, finished work is essential. Desirable (But Not Essential) - Experience working on TV or broadcast advertising. ● Understanding of good design principles. ● Knowledge of simulations (cloth, particles, rigid body). ● Motion design experience. - Experience building or refining production pipelines. Why Join Us? - Work on high-quality commercial and broadcast projects. ● Be part of a growing creative studio with real opportunity to shape its direction. ● Collaborate with a passionate, ambitious team. ● Contribute creatively — your ideas will matter.
