The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupAdvantage is hiring a Motion Graphics Designer in Corvallis, OR.

• Role description

  You don't decorate ideas, you build them, and that distinction is exactly why StartupAdvantage is searching for a Motion Graphics Designer in Corvallis, OR. The center of gravity here is ownership — $65,000 - $92,000 and a contract schedule orbit it, and 4 years gets you in the door.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Reverse-engineer a competitor's hit to understand the mechanic, not copy the look
  • Carve a distinct lane for StartupAdvantage in a creative space crowded with sameness
  • Turn rough briefs into polished Adobe After Effects deliverables the creative team can ship
  • Partner with copywriters to align visuals with messaging and tone
  • Shape the unboxing moment Corvallis buyers screenshot and share unprompted
  • Lead brainstorming sessions that surface bold, original ideas
  • Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
  • Defend a strong idea in the room, then refine it the moment data disagrees

  What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated knack for making the make-it-better feel manageable
  • Comfort owning creative decisions in an OR market
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
  • Fluency across Usability Testing and Time Management, with strong opinions on both
  • Self-Motivation fundamentals plus the Visual Design polish clients notice

  Joining StartupAdvantage means joining a fun-loving group of professionals who push creative forward from Corvallis. Politics die fast at StartupAdvantage because we put the awkward stuff on the table early.

  The offer reads $65,000 - $92,000, plus the soft stuff that hard-wins loyalty: coaching, coverage, and a flexible contract rhythm.
