Mixon Digital is looking for a
Motion Graphics Designer who lives at the intersection of broadcast design and real-time graphics systems. This is a hands-on production role with a get-to-air urgency mindset — you will design, animate, storyboard, and deliver graphics that run live during pro sports broadcasts and in-arena events across pro sports teams and leagues in the US and worldwide. You bring both the creative eye and the technical fluency to produce compelling visual work inside a live production environment, and you thrive when the pressure is on.
What You'll Do
Design, Animation & Concepting
- Design and animate broadcast-quality graphics packages — lower thirds, full-screen stats, scorebugs, stingers, transitions, opens, and sponsored features
- Develop concepts and storyboards from creative brief through style frames, animation, and final delivery
- Build motion graphics that communicate real-time sports data clearly and compellingly, from pre-game to final buzzer
- Adapt and optimize motion assets across multiple display formats — broadcast, in-arena videoboards, LED ribbons, ribbon boards, and other display surfaces
- Work within established brand systems across multiple client properties, maintaining visual consistency while bringing fresh creative thinking to every project
- Execute and adapt designs originated by other creatives — bringing client-supplied concepts, style guides, and existing packages to life with the same care and precision as original work
- Deliver production-ready assets that are clean, consistent, and built to spec
CG Systems & Real-Time Workflow
- Build and maintain graphics templates inside a broadcast real-time graphics engine
- Work within a data-driven graphics system to connect live sports data to on-air templates
- Troubleshoot render and output issues in a live production environment — fast and without drama
- Collaborate with technical staff to ensure graphics perform flawlessly in live deployment
**
Collaboration & Process**
- Take briefs from clients (via Operations) and translate them into production-ready creative
- Work within defined project timelines and deliver on schedule, every time
- Participate in creative reviews, iterate efficiently based on feedback, and know when something is done
- Manage project files and assets in accordance with department standards
- Share knowledge with junior team members and contribute to a high-output team culture
What We're Looking For
Required Experience & Skills
- 3+ years of motion graphics experience in a broadcast, sports production, or live events environment
- Hands-on experience with a broadcast real-time graphics engine — familiarity with industry-standard CG platforms is essential
- Expert proficiency in Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator; working knowledge of Premiere Pro
- Strong command of typography, color theory, motion theory, and visual composition — these are non-negotiable in a broadcast environment
- Experience building template-based graphics systems — not just one-off animations
- Ability to adapt assets across multiple display formats and aspect ratios (broadcast, videoboard, LED, ribbon board)
- Concept and storyboard skills — able to develop an idea from brief to style frame before animation begins
- Ability to work under deadline pressure in a fast-paced, live production environment
- Portfolio demonstrating broadcast graphics work — lower thirds, data-driven stats, live sports graphics preferred
Nice to Have
- Cinema 4D or Blender for 3D element creation; Redshift for rendering
- Experience with live data integration workflows in a broadcast graphics environment
- Experience supporting live sports events (arena, studio, or remote production)
- Unreal Engine or game engine background
- AI-assisted design and animation tools
- Sports fan with genuine enthusiasm for and knowledge of professional sports
Who You Are
- You bring a get-to-air mentality — you know how to move fast without cutting corners
- You take ownership of your work queue and don't wait to be told what to do next
- You receive feedback constructively and iterate without ego — the work is what matters
- You're curious about the craft: you follow design trends, watch what other teams are producing, and hold your own work to a high standard
- You're comfortable working nights, weekends, and event days when the production calendar demands it — live sports doesn't run 9 to 5
- You're a self-starter who can manage multiple projects simultaneously without losing detail or quality
