About School of Motion

At School of Motion, we’re trying to reinvent the way students learn online by combining the best parts of a traditional brick-and-mortar school with technology that allows our students to receive elite Motion Design training from anywhere in the world. Our mission is to break down the barriers to learning, mastering, and working in Motion Design. We currently have seventeen comprehensive courses, over 20,000 Alumni, dozens of Teaching Assistants, and a team of full-time staff working diligently to keep everything running! And this is only the beginning...

Our Core Values:

Our core values embody our team dynamic and our voice. We are rebellious, helpful, effective, playful, and curious. If you would like to work with us, you should be all of these things too:

  • Be Rebellious
  • Don’t do things just because they’ve always been done that way. If ‘going with the flow’ is not working, find a way to improve it. Radical candor is welcome. It’s OK to disagree, and it’s OK to be wrong. Speak and listen with an open heart and mind.
  • Be Helpful
  • Ask for and receive help. If you know how to help, and you can, then do so. If you see a teammate or student struggling, advocate for them. If you yourself need help, ask for it.
  • Be Effective
  • Get Sh*t Done. Regardless of your job title - CEO, Director, Assistant...do real, measurable, quantifiable work every day. Also - don’t overthink it. Perfect is the enemy of done.
  • Be Playful
  • We’re an online school, not an emergency room. It’s ok to be relaxed. When times are hard, ask “What is the worst outcome that could happen? What is the best?” Assess from there!
  • Be Curious
  • Try new things. Never stop learning. Don’t get too comfy. Things will change here, a lot. Predictability is not one of our core values.

We have some great benefits!

  • We cover 99% of your health insurance and a portion for your dependents
  • We have an extremely flexible time off policy. Work wherever you want with an internet connection.
  • Access to a 401K plan after one year of employment with a 4% dollar-for-dollar match
  • Saying that we have a very casual work environment is an understatement, just be you.

The position does require domestic travel at least once per year when we all get together for company retreats and industry conferences (they are fun!).
