The Role

We’re looking for a Website Animation Consultant to join our remote team for 10-20 hours per week. This role is perfect for someone who specializes in web-based motion — someone who understands when animation enhances an experience and when it gets in the way. You’ll focus on evaluating, guiding, and quality-checking animations across our Webflow and GSAP-driven builds. If you’re able to help execute on these designs, mega bonus points but this is not required.

You won’t just help us “make things move.” You’ll help us make things feel right — intuitive, smooth, and aligned with brand strategy and user experience.

You’ll also play a critical role in ensuring our Webflow builds are clean, functional, responsive, and accessible.

You’ll be the final set of eyes across desktop, mobile, interactions, responsiveness, accessibility, and functionality — the person who ensures the site is 100% ready to go before publishing.

What You’ll Be Doing

Work with finalized Figma designs to add animation ideas that elevate website experience for both desktop and mobile versions.
Provide recommendations for UX-friendly, performance-safe animations in Webflow, GSAP, and Lottie.
Ensure all motion enhances UX, storytelling, and brand expression — not just visual flash.
Use feedback software like Pastel to review developed Webflow animations and ensure they meet the quality standards set in initial concepts.
Quality-check animation builds for smoothness, timing, consistency, performance, and accessibility.
Review responsive design, spacing, layout consistency, and typography alignment.
Help define animation standards, best practices, and reusable motion patterns for the OB team.
Collaborate with designers and developers in Slack, provide feedback directly in Pastel.
Validate functionality: forms, CMS templates, dynamic content, links, menus, buttons, filters.
Provide timestamped written feedback and Loom walkthroughs as needed.
BONUS (Not required): Execute on the animation ideation.

Role Requirements

A strong understanding of micro-interactions, scroll-based animation, timing, easing, and hierarchy.
Sharp attention to detail when reviewing Webflow development to ensure it matches Figma designs and your animation examples / ideas precisely for both desktop and mobile versions.
Comfort collaborating in Slack, Notion, Figma, and Pastel.
A polished portfolio showcasing motion-forward websites.
Ability to give clear, actionable feedback (with rationale behind motion decisions).
Have experience building component-based and well branded animation systems.
Can break down motion strategy into easy-to-follow recommendations.
Understand performance optimization and accessibility considerations with motion.

Bonus qualifications include proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Spline, or Rive software to create animation assets that cannot be developed in Webflow.
Experience performing QA for animation and design on websites (Webflow experience is a big plus).
Familiarity with responsive design patterns, breakpoints, and mobile-first testing.
Strong attention to detail — spacing, alignment, consistency, and UX defects stand out to you immediately.
Excellent communication skills and structured reporting style.
Comfortable working 10 - 20 hours per week with flexible scheduling.

Have tested Webflow sites or similar low-code builds.

What We Offer

Fully remote and flexible hours (work from wherever creativity strikes).
10 - 20hours per week with the opportunity to expand in the future.
USD $40 – $70 / hour, with potential for a retainer after proven collaboration.
A creative, collaborative environment that values great ideas and great execution equally.
A team that values big ideas, craftsmanship, and good energy in equal measure.
Paid training and learning opportunities to level up your craft.
Projects spanning entertainment, gaming, tech, education, and beyond. We thrive on projects that make a positive impact in the world around us.
We fully understand the grind, but also know how to have a work life balance, it’s not a great life unless we’re enjoying ourselves living it!
