Your story, with Reach

As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.

We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.

We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.

About this role

You’ll be an experienced and dynamic Motion Graphics expert, leading the creation of best‑in‑class motion graphics across social, web and promo developing concepts, visual treatments, storyboards and animations through to polished delivery ensuring every asset is on‑brand, engaging and optimised per platform. Set the creative bar for the team: mentor designers and animators, embed best practice, quality‑check output and keep the production pipeline sharp across software, hardware and asset management.

Drive projects with clarity, own timelines, budgets and resources so work lands on brief and on time. Collaborate closely with directors, producers, editors and business stakeholders, presenting to clients with confidence and turning feedback into stronger work. 

Shape content for campaigns, launches, collections and partnerships, while integrating the latest motion, animation and video technologies to push our brands forward. 

What you’ll need to succeed:

Seasoned leadership in motion graphics or video production ideally within publishing or media with an exceptional portfolio spanning motion design, animation and video that proves range, craft and storytelling impact. 

Confident forward planning is second nature: setting up complex, multi‑platform projects, shaping clear briefs and pipelines, and balancing creative ambition with timelines, budgets and resources.

A proactive problem‑solver with daily initiative and a can‑do attitude, organisation and attention to detail are impeccable.

Equally strong working independently or shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the wider team, bringing collaborators with you through clear communication, constructive feedback and calm, decisive leadership.

Mentors designers and animators, sets standards, coaches best practice and runs quality assurance to keep output consistently best‑in‑class.

Fluency with industry tools is a must: Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro at expert level, strong 3D skills in Cinema 4D (or similar), and solid command of the wider Adobe Creative Suite. 

Comfortable building visually inspiring decks in Adobe, Google, Canva or PowerPoint to communicate concepts and secure buy‑in.
