About Nimbus+
Nimbus+ is a modern SaaS platform being developed for architecture, engineering, construction, and project teams to manage project information, coordination, workflows, and delivery in one connected environment.
Nimbus+ brings together key project workflows including:
We are preparing Nimbus+ for market launch and are looking for a talented SaaS Product Motion Designer / Motion Graphics Designer who can help us communicate the product visually.
This is not a traditional video editing role.
We are looking for someone who can take a software feature, workflow, or product concept and turn it into a clear, engaging, polished SaaS product video.
About the Role
We are looking for a SaaS Product Motion Designer / Motion Graphics Designer for an initial 1-month contract, with the possibility of extension based on performance, quality, communication, and ongoing project requirements.
You will work with our product team to create:
The objective is simple:
Make Nimbus+ easy to understand visually.
Our users include architects, engineers, consultants, project managers, and other professionals who need to understand how Nimbus+ can improve their project workflows.
What You Will Work On1. SaaS Product Walkthrough Videos
We are developing a series of short, visually engaging videos explaining how Nimbus+ works.
Potential topics include:
Task Management
Create → Assign → Execute → Collaborate → Review → Complete
Request for Information
Create → Assign → Respond → Review → Resolve
Design Change Management
Create → Review → Approve → Issue → Implement → Verify → Close
Drawing Management
Upload → Register → Review → Approve → Current → Supersede → Issue → Archive
The videos should help viewers understand not just what buttons to click, but how the workflow works and why it matters.
These should feel like modern SaaS product videos rather than basic screen recordings.
2. Nimbus+ Landing Page Promotional Video
We also have a storyboard for a promotional video for the Nimbus+ landing page.
The general storytelling direction is:
Problem → Solution → Nimbus+ → Connected Workflows → Business Value
We will provide the existing storyboard and product context.
However, we don't want someone who simply executes instructions.
We want a designer who can review the storyboard and provide creative input on:
We want you to be able to say:
This section would work better visually if...
Your creative input is encouraged.
The Visual Style We Are Looking For
Modern SaaS / Product Motion Design
We are looking for:
The goal is not to use as many effects as possible.
The goal is:
Make the product easy to understand and make the viewer want to use it.
Every animation, transition, highlight, zoom, or callout should have a purpose.
Responsibilities
You may be responsible for:
You may also help establish a repeatable Nimbus+ visual language for future product videos.
Expected Initial Deliverables
The initial engagement will be approximately one month.
Landing Page Promotional Video
Expected work includes:
Product Walkthrough Video Series
Approximately 4–6 short SaaS product walkthrough videos, depending on complexity.
Potential topics include:
The exact number may vary according to complexity.
Quality and consistency are more important than simply producing a high number of videos.
Production Expectations
Our preferred process is:
Brief → Concept → Visual Direction → Storyboard → Animation → Review → Revision → Final
Each video should generally include:
Up to 2 reasonable revision rounds per video are expected unless otherwise agreed based on complexity.
Required Skills & Experience
You should have demonstrated experience with:
You should be able to determine:
What should the viewer see
What should be animated
What should be explained through text
What should be demonstrated through the UI
Where should the viewer's attention go
Strongly Preferred Experience
We particularly want to see previous work involving:
A portfolio showing product motion design is significantly more relevant than a general video-editing portfolio.
Creative Thinking Is Important
We don't want five static screenshots connected by arrows.
For example, an RFI workflow could visually communicate:
Create → Assign → Respond → Review → Resolve
through an actual product story showing the request moving between project participants, supporting information appearing, the response being submitted, and the Project Manager resolving the request.
The viewer should understand:
What happened
Who is involved
What does Nimbus+ do
Why does this workflow matter
Working Style
We are looking for someone who is:
You should be comfortable working directly with a product team and asking questions when something is unclear.
