Motion Graphics Designer

Mixon Digital is looking for a Motion Graphics Designer who lives at the intersection of broadcast design and real-time graphics systems. This is a hands-on production role with a get-to-air urgency mindset — you will design, animate, storyboard, and deliver graphics that run live during pro sports broadcasts and in-arena events across pro sports teams and leagues in the US and worldwide. You bring both the creative eye and the technical fluency to produce compelling visual work inside a live production environment, and you thrive when the pressure is on. 3+ years of motion graphics experience in a broadcast, sports production, or live events environment Hands-on experience with a broadcast real-time graphics engine — familiarity with industry-standard CG platforms is essential Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator; working knowledge of Premiere Pro Strong command of typography, color theory, motion theory, and visual composition — these are non-negotiable in a broadcast environment Experience building template-based graphics systems — not just one-off animations Ability to adapt assets across multiple display formats and aspect ratios (broadcast, videoboard, LED, ribbon board) Concept and storyboard skills — able to develop an idea from brief to style frame before animation begins Ability to work under deadline pressure in a fast-paced, live production environment Portfolio demonstrating broadcast graphics work — lower thirds, data-driven stats, live sports graphics preferred You bring a get-to-air mentality — you know how to move fast without cutting corners You take ownership of your work queue and don't wait to be told what to do next You receive feedback constructively and iterate without ego — the work is what matters You're curious about the craft: you follow design trends, watch what other teams are producing, and hold your own work to a high standard You're comfortable working nights, weekends, and event days when the production calendar demands it — live sports doesn't run 9 to 5 You're a self-starter who can manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing detail or quality
