THE OPPORTUNITY
We don&039;t hire motion designers. We hire people who understand that fabric flows, denim has memory, and a 15- second brand film requires the same narrative instinct as a feature edit.
SAITEX is one of the world&039;s leading sustainable apparel manufacturers — a certified B Corp producing premium garments for Ralph Lauren, Everlane, Madewell, and G- Star RAW. Within that ecosystem sits a portfolio of fashion and fabric brands: Edwin USA, Rekut, Save Khaki, Stelapop, Saigon Blu, and others. Distinct identities. Distinct audiences. All built on the same foundation of craft, sustainability, and premium production.
You&039;re not being hired to make content for a factory. You&039;re being hired to build the motion design function — and the AI- powered production system behind it — for the brands that live inside one of the most advanced manufacturing ecosystems in the world.
Half the job is craft. The other half is architecture: designing workflows, training tools, and building repeatable systems that let the creative team produce more, faster, without losing quality. That second half is what makes this role unusual.
THIS IS A MOTION DESIGN ROLE
If you describe yourself as a generalist, this isn&039;t the right role. If motion is where you live — and you want to build the system around it — keep reading.
After Effects is your primary instrument. Premiere is how you think about story. Weavy and Runway are how you prototype and accelerate. Your brain is the filter that makes sure it means something.
Motion is the core discipline. Everything else extends from it. You are 90% motion obsessive — and the remaining 10% means you can handle graphic design when the brief demands it, not the other way around.
CORE MOTION EXPERTISE — NON- NEGOTIABLE
Short- form narrative: 6–15 second content that tells a complete story. No waste, no filler.
After Effects at expert level: compositing, expression- based animation, typography in motion, rigging.
Fabric and garment animation: organic movement, textile behaviour on screen — not mechanical loops.
Premiere Pro editorial instinct: cut logic, pacing for fashion film, social- first editing rhythm.
Motion design fundamentals: timing, easing, weight, anticipation, compositional flow.
AI PRODUCTION SYSTEMS — THE OTHER HALF OF THIS ROLE
This is not a role where you use AI tools on the side. Building AI- accelerated video production workflows is a core part of the job description.
You will work closely with the Tech Team to design, test, and implement systems that compress production timelines without compressing quality. That means:
Weavy — our primary AI image and asset generation platform. You&039;ll develop brand- specific style prompts, build reusable asset libraries, and train the team on how to use it without losing creative control.
Prompt engineering for creative output — you&039;ll develop and document prompt systems that any team member can use to produce on- brand generative assets consistently.
You will sit within the Creative Team but maintain a close working relationship with Tech. You&039;ll be the bridge between creative intent and technical execution — speaking both languages fluently.
AI- assisted animation and compositing — generative assets fed into After Effects workflows, not replacing the craft, compressing the timeline around it.
Workflow documentation — every system you build gets documented. The goal is that your methods scale beyond you.
Runway — AI video generation and motion prototyping. Use it to concept fast, validate direction, and reduce revision cycles before full production begins.
WHAT YOU&039;LL ACTUALLY DO
Own projects from concept to delivery: storyboard, art direct, animate, collaborate on sound, post. No hand- holding.
Mentor junior designers on motion principles, AI workflows, and prompt systems. Present work to brand leads and stakeholders, defending decisions without ego.
Design and implement AI- powered production workflows using Weavy, Runway, and other tools — in collaboration with the Tech Team — that accelerate output across the brand portfolio.
Build distinct motion languages for multiple fashion brands — Edwin USA moves differently from Rekut, which moves differently from Saigon Blu. You&039;ll understand why and execute accordingly.
Create launch films, product storytelling, and social- first content that performs: campaign heroes, fabric flow animations, brand narratives built for scroll- stopping impact.
THE BRAND ECOSYSTEM
You&039;ll be creating motion across a portfolio of fashion and fabric brands, each with its own positioning:
Saigon Blu — premium sustainable fabric brand, B2B and B2C, material storytelling at its core.
Stelapop — emerging, to be defined as the brand grows.
Rekut — GenZ- facing, high energy, born for social- first formats.
Save Khaki — quiet, utilitarian, built- to- last American basics.
Edwin USA — premium Japanese denim, decades of craftsmanship, slow fashion at its most considered.
SAITEX — the manufacturing backbone: sustainability storytelling, process films, B2B brand presence.
One motion designer. Six brand voices. The challenge is maintaining craft and intentionality across all of them without defaulting to a single aesthetic — and building AI systems that help you do it at scale.
