Motion Design Intern - The Heist (3-Month Contract, Potential for Full-Time)

Location: Chicago Employment Type: Internship Location Type: Hybrid

Who We Are

Hi! We’re The Heist, the motion design, live action, and post production studio within Thinkingbox, the Brief-to-Built agency.

We bring together directors, designers, animators, editors, and technologists to create work that moves. From brand films to broadcast spots to social campaigns and experiential content, our team blends craft and curiosity to push ideas further. Across our studios, collaboration is real, feedback is open, and culture matters. We take the work seriously. Ourselves, a little less so.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Motion Design Intern to join us on a 3-month contract, with the opportunity to transition into a full-time role. We’re looking for someone who’s hungry to learn and ready to jump into real projects.

This role is ideal for someone early in their creative career who is passionate about animation, design systems, digital storytelling, and motion-driven craft. You’ll work alongside experienced designers and directors while building hands-on experience across 2D and 3D pipelines.

This is not a coffee run internship. You’ll be making things.
