2D/3D Animator - Remote In-house role at Gaming Client

We’re a social and end-to-end content production agency. Since 2008 we’ve been building an integrated, digital-first offering that combines content excellence with channel best practice to drive performance across our client base.

As a values-driven agency, our people are our power. We stay ahead of the game by hiring smart thinkers and giving them back what they put in: through rapid progression, industry-leading benefits and a culture which has been named in Campaign’s Best Places to Work for 5 years running.

We’re looking for a 2D/3D Animator to join a new in-house team at one of our top clients.

Embedded within our client's organisation, you'll have the best of both worlds - access to learning from one of the biggest gaming companies in the World, with all the benefits and perks of eight&four agency culture.

You'll be a solid midweight 2D/3D Creative, who's able to both work independently and with a range of different client stakeholders. You're calm under pressure, mature in difficult situations, and a problem solver both in your work and when work isn't going to plan. In short you're a professional grown up - excellent at your craft, and a solid team player for what will be an expansive team.

This role is fully remote but limited to candidates based in the UK.

**Please note that you must have experience with both 2D and 3D design.
