About the Role
We’re seeking a Motion Design Intern to join our Marketing team and bring our brand to life through animation and video storytelling. You’ll work closely with the Design Lead to develop captivating visual content for digital campaigns, social media, product launches, events, and more. This is an exciting opportunity to grow your motion skills in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where creativity meets strategy.
What You’ll Do
Create motion graphics and animations for marketing campaigns, paid ads, social posts, product explainers, and brand videos.
Collaborate cross-functionally with the design, content, and digital teams to conceptualize and execute compelling visual narratives.
Storyboard, animate, and edit short-form video content, incorporating typography, illustration, and audio where appropriate.
Help evolve Rho’s visual identity through motion by bringing fresh, innovative thinking to how our brand shows up in motion.
Support asset versioning and adaptation for multiple channels (web, email, social, etc.).
Maintain brand consistency across all motion content while pushing creative boundaries.
Participate in creative reviews and team standups to contribute ideas, receive feedback, and iterate quickly.
What We’re Looking For
Current student or recent graduate in Motion Design, Graphic Design, Animation, or a related field.
Proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator. Familiarity with Figma is a plus.
Strong understanding of timing, rhythm, and storytelling in animation.
A portfolio showcasing original motion work — ideally for digital or marketing contexts.
Interest in branding, marketing strategy, and visual storytelling.
Excellent time management and communication skills.
A collaborative mindset and a desire to learn in a high-growth, creative environment.
This internship is paid at a rate of $30-35/hr.
