Illustrator / Animator (Hand-Drawn Style)

About the Role

CinRetta is sourcing on behalf of a US-based digital entertainment company with a massive audience in the family and kids space. They are looking for a talented illustrator who can create animated video content in a hand-drawn, expressive style.
This is a direct hire role. You will work directly with the client's creative team once placed.

What You Will Do

-Create short-form animated videos in a hand-drawn, illustrated style
-Match the client's established visual direction closely and consistently
-Deliver polished, ready-to-publish content on schedule
-Collaborate with the creative team on concepts and revisions

What We Are Looking For

-A strong portfolio demonstrating hand-drawn or illustrated animation — this is required, not optional
-Experience creating content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or similar short-form platforms
-Ability to study and replicate an existing visual style with accuracy
-Reliable turnaround, clear communication, and professional work ethic
-Frame-by-frame animation experience; rigged character animation alone does not qualify
