We believe that the way people interact with their finances will drastically improve in the next few years. We’re dedicated to empowering this transformation by building the tools and experiences that thousands of developers use to create their own products. Plaid powers the tools millions of people rely on to live a healthier financial life. We work with thousands of companies like Venmo, So Fi, several of the Fortune 500, and many of the largest banks to make it easy for people to connect their financial accounts to the apps and services they want to use. Plaid’s network covers 12,000 financial institutions across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. Founded in 2013, the company is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York, Washington D.C., London and Amsterdam.

We are the Brand Studio team within Plaid’s product organization. We partner across Product, Brand, and Marketing to support Plaid’s mission of building financial tools that make it easier for people and businesses to interact with their finances. We create live action videos, motion systems, animations, and assets that help communicate clarity, trust, and personality—whether someone is interacting with our products, encountering our brand, or engaging with our marketing. We believe video should be purposeful, scalable, and grounded in strong design fundamentals.

As a Motion Designer at Plaid, you will create high-quality motion work across product, brand, and marketing surfaces. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, marketers, and engineers to translate ideas and static designs into clear, engaging motion. You’ll balance craft with production efficiency, contributing motion that feels thoughtful, cohesive, and practical to implement. This role is ideal for someone who is motion-first and enjoys collaboration across teams.
