Animator (Freelance & Full Time)

Bssp Animation PositionBSSP is an independent creative agency built on the belief that the best work comes from people who push each other, and push past the obvious. We're collaborators first: strategists, creatives, producers and analysts working side by side, because great ideas rarely come from one desk. We bring a challenger mindset to everything we make, questioning assumptions (including our own) to find a sharper answer.

And we're ambitious, for our clients' brands, for the work, and for each other's growth. If that sounds like how you like to work, we'd love to meet you.The RoleWe're hiring Animators, full-time in El Segundo, CA and freelance remote from California, to bring our social content to life and keep a high volume of deliverables moving.
