What Do We Do?

Then we take action for you — pausing the underperforming ad, generating the next batch of creative, flagging the inventory risk before it bites.

We pull every signal in your business into one place, and put it on the most trusted measurement foundation in the industry. And on top of that, we give you the most actionable AI in commerce — Moby 2 — letting you tap any LLM you want, grounded in the full context of your business. Moby 2 doesn't just surface insights, it executes decisions for you, with automations that make the rest of your stack smarter.

The result: more than 60,000 brands like Pressed Juicery, OUAI, and True Classic turn mountains of complex data into actions that actually grow profit, at a speed and scale that is not humanly possible.

What You're Applying for

Triple Whale is building the AI-powered platform that's changing how ecommerce brands understand and grow their business. We move fast, we lean on automation to punch above our weight, and we hold a high bar for craft. We're looking for a Senior Motion Designer / Art Director to be the front line for what it means to build and market products that are reshaping the ecommerce space.

This is a hybrid role: 75% hands-on craft, 25% A director and mentorship. You'll spend most of your time in After Effects bringing product stories to life, and the rest of your time setting creative direction, coaching other designers, and shaping how motion shows up across the brand. You won't just be executing you'll be one of the people deciding what "great" looks like here.

We're looking for someone senior: strong hands-on motion/animation skills, real art direction experience (or a film background), and enough taste and range to move between a fast-turnaround social cut and a premium, agency-quality work.

This role reports directly to the Creative Director.

What You’ll Do

• Concept and create motion, animation, and video content that brings our product and brand story to life: from product marketing videos and launch campaigns to social content and experiential pieces
• Own the craft end-to-end: storyboards, style frames, animatics, animation, and final polish, primarily in After Effects (3D via Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar is a strong plus, not a requirement)
• Art direct across the board not just video shoots and productions, but the broader creative execution of the team. This includes directing shoots/films (travel to set when we're filming, working with directors, and production teams) as well as bringing ideas and direction to other visual design work campaigns, brand assets, decks, whatever the team is producing
• Bring ideas to the table for the rest of the creative team, beyond your own motion work you're a source of creative direction and visual thinking that other designers can build on, not just someone who executes their own briefs
• Set and uphold visual and motion standards across the team you'll be the person others look to for "does this feel like us, and is it good enough"
• Coach and mentor other designers (roughly 25% of your time), giving feedback that levels people up rather than just corrects the work in front of you
• Generate creative concepts and ideation you're not waiting for a brief, you're helping write it
• Partner cross-functionally with product marketing, brand, and product teams to make sure motion work is grounded in what we're actually trying to say and sell
• Balance speed and quality thrive under tight deadlines
