Cuttable exists because creativity shouldn’t be what slows marketing teams down.

The world’s biggest advertising platforms demand more ads than most teams can produce. But production is still slow, expensive and built for a different era. Briefs pile up. Creative teams burn out. Marketers can’t keep up.

Cuttable fixes that.

We’re an AI Creative Production System that helps ecommerce brands create, test and launch ads across Meta, TikTok and Google at the volume the platforms actually reward.

More than 300 brands across North America and Asia Pacific already use Cuttable. We're backed by Square Peg, Rampersand and AirTree, following one of the largest seed rounds in Australian tech history. Offices in Melbourne, New York and San Francisco.

Our CEO and co-founder, Sam Kroonenburg, has built and scaled a global technology company before. Now we’re doing it again.

The role

Cuttable’s ads move. Motion is central to what makes our output feel different from templated, overly static creative, and demand is only growing as we scale across Meta, TikTok and Google.

We’re looking for a Senior Animator to own animation end-to-end: creating the motion that goes into customer ads and in-platform assets, and building the systems (libraries, QA processes, in-platform features) that let that motion scale without losing craft as volume grows.

Day to day, you’ll create motion graphics, text animations and transitions that make digital ads land harder; develop and maintain animation and libraries; implement animation efficiently inside the platform without compromising quality; and collaborate closely with the wider Ad Design team on concepts, animatics and production-ready content. You’ll also be a true product partner, spotting issues in the platform and editor as you find them, and owning them through to resolution with engineering rather than working around them.

Done well,



by month six you’ll be operating comfortably at high volume and high quality across a wide range of customer categories; you’ll have shipped a number of quality animations to add to the ad design library; and you’ll be a trusted voice in how animation gets built and reviewed at Cuttable, not just someone executing on a brief.

Who we look for

We hire for values as much as experience, because mindset carries you through the parts no can predict. Here's what that looks like day to day at cuttable:

- Be Brave & Own It: you take smart risks and you own what happens next, good or bad. You own the outcome, not just the intention.
- Create Customer Magic: you listen hard enough to get to what customers actually need, not just what they said.
- Say It (With Care): You say the honest thing, directly, and with genuine care for the person hearing it.
- Progress Beats Perfection: you'd rather ship, learn, and improve than sit on something waiting for it to be flawless.
- Work Hard, Laugh Often: you take the work seriously. Never yourself.

We believe you'll succeed in this role if you have:
- Established experience in animation or motion design, ideally within advertising, brand or social media, with a portfolio that shows range across styles and formats.
- Strong traditional animation fundamentals: timing, weight, expression, with proven proficiency in After Effects and working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and Figma.
- You embrace AI and every other tool that helps you move faster. Outstanding judgment beats doing everything manually.
- You're comfortable with ambiguity and would rather create the playbook than wait for one.




- You're genuinely curious and love tackling the messy, unglamorous problems that others avoid.

What we offer

- Equity: If you're helping build Cuttable, you should own a piece of what it becomes.
- Market-rate pay, reviewed annually: The people building Cuttable's success should be rewarded as the company grows, with regular reviews to make sure we're staying competitive.
- For our US team we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision coverage, as well as a 401(k) retirement plan.
- 5 weeks of paid time off (PTO / annual leave): Your 5 weeks includes our team-wide festive season shutdown, so everyone gets a proper break together. No half-logging in with Slack open in another tab.
- Your birthday off, always: Because there's only one you. Work Hard, Laugh Often isn't just about celebrating the big wins; it's about celebrating the people who make them happen.
- Paid parental leave: 12 weeks at base pay for primary carers and 6 weeks at base pay for secondary carers. We're proud to help people build great careers at Cuttable while supporting them as they build and grow their families.
- Offices in Melbourne and New York (and soon San Francisco!), with flexibility built in: We like the people we work with, so we've created spaces worth showing up to. But we don't measure commitment by chair time—work from home when that's what the day needs.
- A tech allowance: AU$750 / US$500 to set your workspace up properly, wherever you're working from.

At cuttable, we're building a team as diverse as the businesses we serve.
