WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

VML is seeking a Director of Motion for our Kansas City office. You are a remarkably levelheaded, passionate, and driven creative leader with an unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of motion, CG, and VFX.

You thrive in a collaborative environment, inspiring your team to achieve new heights while staying ahead of the curve in this ever-evolving industry.

As the Director of Motion, CG, and VFX, you will manage, lead and inspire a team of talented artists, animators, and compositors, driving creative excellence and pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling.
