About the role

You own 2D and 3D animation and motion graphics across all Torus content. The core of the job is translating Torus's products and features into visual explainers that simplify complexity and clearly articulate value. You'll take a concept or script and build it out into a finished sequence: storyboarding, animating, and polishing until it's ready to ship. You’ll work closely with video editors and directors to support larger content pieces with animation. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years creating 2D animation and motion graphics, with a portfolio that includes explainer-style work
  • Proficiency in Adobe After Effects
  • Comfortable translating technical or product concepts into clear visual sequences
  • Strong foundational design skills (layout, typography, color, illustration) in tools like Illustrator or Figma, alongside motion work
  • Experience with 3D modeling and rendering (Cinema 4D, Blender, or similar) for product or facility renders
  • Experience importing and cleaning up CAD or STEP files
