Portable is seeking an Animator / Motion Designer / Video Editor to join their Design and Creative Services team. This role focuses on storytelling through animation and video editing, with a strong emphasis on narrative and client collaboration. You will work on a mix of client and internal projects, bringing creative direction and technical skills to shape compelling visual content. The position offers opportunities for growth, mentorship, and impact in social good.
We are Australia’s leading innovation partners for public good – developing technology and design solutions that power the public and the people who serve it. We seek out areas of acute social need and work with government agencies, nonprofit organisations, and socially-minded businesses to make transformational change.
There are currently 65+ of us – researchers, strategists, designers, creatives, technologists, and producers – working from our head office in Collingwood and remotely from co-working spaces and homes across Australia.
This role sits in our Design and Creative Services team, which is a multidisciplinary team of human centred designers, producers and creatives who work to understand and define the needs of people and organisations and bring them through a design process towards solutions that make a real difference.
Within that, you'll be part of a small, close-knit creative team, focused on storytelling, video / animation production and photography. We work side by side on projects day to day, and lean on each other a lot. It's a small team, so you'll need to hit the ground running.
We're looking for an Animator / Motion Designer/ Video Editor who's a storyteller first, a technician second. You'll bring strong craft across animation and editing, but what sets you apart is your instinct for narrative: knowing what to cut, what to linger on, and how to shape footage or motion into something that actually lands with an audience. How to collaborate with clients and the community to tell their stories and elevate different voices.
You'll be comfortable sitting in a room with a client or a community member, hold your own creative point of view, and collaborate to tell their stories and elevate different voices, building the work together with them rather than just executing a brief.
You'll work across a mix of client and internal projects, from motion graphics and 2D animation through to video editing and colour grading, translating a client's brand and tone into work that tells stories that matter for organisations working on real social impact. Alongside the craft, you'll bring the judgement and experience to help lead and mentor others as the team grows.
The salary range for this role is $75,000 - $95,000 plus superannuation, negotiable based on experience.
This role is Melbourne-based, working from our Collingwood office 3 - 4 days a week, with 1 - 2 days a week available as hybrid/work from home. We'd also consider part-time arrangements (e.g. 0.8 FTE) for the right candidate.
Joining Portable means becoming part of an organisation with an award-winning workplace culture, where your contributions are valued and you're supported by a genuinely multidisciplinary team.
