Motion / Interaction Designer – Digital Product
Location: London
Contract: 3 months, with potential to extend
Working pattern: Five days per week, onsite
Day rate: Up to £450 per day via Umbrella
Sector: Financial Services / Digital Product
We are partnering with a global financial services client seeking a talented Motion / Interaction Designer to contribute to a product-focused digital project.
This role is distinct from traditional motion graphics, video, or social animation positions. The emphasis is on motion within digital products and app experiences — including UI transitions, interaction patterns, loading states, navigation, scrolling, and underlying motion principles.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong experience in product-led motion or interaction design, preferably within app-based, mobile, technology, or digital product environments.
You will be confident presenting your work and articulating how your motion and interaction decisions have been implemented in production.
- Designing product-led motion and interaction experiences
- Creating UI elements and app-based product interactions
- Utilising Figma for motion design and prototyping
- Designing screen transitions and page behaviours
- Developing loading states, spinners and micro-interactions
- Applying mobile app interaction patterns
- Enhancing navigation and scrolling behaviour
- Designing drop-downs and component behaviours
- Adhering to motion principles and interaction guidelines
- Providing examples of tech or digital product projects
- Delivering work that has progressed to production
- Experience as a Motion / Interaction Designer, Product Motion Designer, UI Motion Designer or similar
- Proficient in Figma with a strong portfolio of app, product, UI or tech-related motion work
- Skilled in designing motion and interaction behaviours within digital products
- Able to explain the rationale behind motion and interaction choices
- Experienced collaborating with product, design and development teams
- Comfortable presenting portfolio work during the interview process
- Available for a three-month contract
- Able to work five days per week onsite in London
- Day rate expectations aligned via Umbrella
This opportunity is best suited to candidates with proven experience in product, app, UI, or digital product motion design.
Pure motion graphics, brand animation, showreel, video or social content backgrounds are unlikely to be suitable unless accompanied by clear product, app or UI motion work in the portfolio.
- Based in the UK and authorised to work here
- Available to start within the next 2 to 4 weeks
- Comfortable working full-time onsite in London
- Within the stated day rate range
- Able to provide relevant examples of product, app, UI or Figma motion design
- Confident presenting your work and explaining how it progressed into production
To apply, please send your CV, portfolio, availability and day rate.
Please include two to three directly relevant portfolio examples showcasing product motion, interaction design, Figma prototypes, screen transitions, loading states, mobile app behaviour or motion principles.
