Job Description

About Us

Hi! We’re The Heist, the production, post production and animation arm of Thinkingbox, a global

creative collective shaping the future of brands through craft and curiosity. Our team brings

together unique perspectives in production, design, technology, and creativity that push the

boundaries for our clients to create work that is uniquely ours. We are a curious bunch that

loves to think big, continuously learn, and create. We love our culture and the natural

collaboration that happens in and around our five offices, from dog parties, to happy hour

Fridays, to random team trips to Whistler, we maintain a vibrant work environment. However, for

one month a year we encourage our people to explore the world. Try working from another

office or even the beaches of Mexico and expand your worldview, then bring that experience back to the team.

The Opportunity

As a member of the animation team you're going to have your hands and creative say on all things motion. Our diverse projects are going to push your creative boundaries on work from designing looks and animation. You’re going to be going from sketch to animation on micro-content campaigns, creating 2D and 3D assets to help realize AR apps, motion designing for projects ranging from smaller social media campaigns to short animated films , or even bringing UI to life with motion for high profile microsites or out-of-home activations.

What You'll be doing

  • 2D and 3D animation for platforms including but not limited to web, social media, out of home activations and good ol’ standalone content
  • A willingness to learn new skills and software driven by your own curiosity
  • Keep up to date with current design, visual art trends and best practices
  • Accurately estimate time to assigned tasks
  • Adapt to project roadblocks with a solution driven approach

What You'll bring

  • 0-2 years at an agency or animation studio
  • Comfortable using the Adobe suite, especially After Effects
  • Demonstrate graphical 2D and 3D motion design skills in your portfolio
  • A demo reel or portfolio demonstrating a well rounded and nuanced motion portfolio
  • Ability to take direction and feedback
  • Ability to hit deadlines, work in a team, but also go solo from time to time
  • Experience using C4D, Blender or Maya and Redshift is a big bonus

Equal Opportunity

At The Heist, we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to thrive. We believe that diversity is our creative strength – it's the range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds that fuels our best ideas and most innovative solutions. We welcome and encourage applicants of all races, ethnicities, genders, identities, abilities, ages, sexual orientations, and backgrounds to apply. Your voice matters here.

To Apply

Thank you for your interest in joining our team. Please submit your resume along with links to your online portfolio as part of your application. Due to the volume of applications we receive, we’re unable to respond to every submission. However, all applications are kept in our talent database and will be considered for future opportunities.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
