Freelance Motion Designer

We build the events where the people shaping technology actually meet. Chain of Events runs three of them, all in Paris, all within the same week.

• RAISE Summit is the AI summit for decision-makers. Launched in 2024, it has grown from 2,000 to 9,000+ attendees across three editions — over 80% of them C-level, from 76 countries — with 350+ speakers spanning AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption, agentic systems, sovereignty and policy. The 2026 edition at the Carrousel du Louvre featured Mark Cuban, Yann LeCun and Nelson Griggs (Nasdaq). The week extends well beyond the main stage: the Versailles AI Gala at the Orangerie of the Château de Versailles, the RAISE Hackathon, and RAISE the STAKES, the startup competition that drew 1,100+ applications in 2026.
• MACHINA Summit is Europe's leading event dedicated to Physical AI — intelligence that acts on the real world through humanoids, industrial robotics, autonomous systems and next-generation human–machine interfaces. Its inaugural 2026 edition brought together the labs building humanoids and the enterprises deploying robotics at scale, with speakers from Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, 1X, Apptronik and Agility Robotics. It is the fastest-moving brand in the portfolio and the one with the most white space ahead of it.
• Alongside them, Signal Week is the institutional summit for digital assets. Founded in 2019 as Paris Blockchain Week and elevated to Signal Week in 2026, it draws 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries, with roughly 70% holding C-suite positions. Its last edition convened 250+ banks and financial institutions, over $50T in assets under management, and 70 government officials and regulators — BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, BNY Mellon, Citi, the London Stock Exchange, ESMA and the European Commission among them. The thesis is that TradFi and digital assets are no longer two industries but one financial system being rebuilt on shared rails.

In July 2026, all three were acquired by Hyve Group, one of the world's fastest-growing organizers of market-leading events, behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH and Shoptalk. In 2027 they converge on the Palais des Congrès in the same week.

Role Overview

Chain of Events is looking for a Motion Designer to bring the RAISE Summit brand to life in motion, reporting into the Development Lead for RAISE and MACHINA and working closely with the Senior Brand Designer, the wider marketing team and the Marketing Lead for RAISE and MACHINA. This is a new, dedicated motion seat within the team - for someone who can build a motion language from a design system, then apply it at speed across speaker reveals, campaign assets, social content, website moments, and on-stage graphics.

The RAISE brand is being refreshed for 2027 around a new visual system and central graphic device, with a shift towards live speaker photography and a more editorial, premium feel. You'll help define how that system moves - the principles, templates, and toolkits - so that motion becomes consistent, fast, and scalable rather than bespoke every time. You'll also be one of the team's most confident users of AI video and image tools, pushing what's possible while keeping craft and brand quality at the centre.

Key Responsibilities

Motion System & Brand

• Supporting the build of the RAISE motion language - principles, timing, transitions, and type animation - as an extension of the design system, working with the Senior Brand Designer and external agencies.
• Build reusable motion templates and toolkits (speaker reveals, sponsor announcements, countdowns, lower thirds, social formats) so you and the social media team the wider team can produce on-brand motion at speed.
• Maintain an organised, well-documented motion asset library and connectors that others can use and build on.

Campaign & Content Production

• Produce animated assets across the campaign cycle - speaker and partner announcements, paid social ads, launch films, teasers, and recap edits.
• Create motion content for RAISE's social channels in platform-native formats and ratios.
• Deliver web motion for the RAISE website (e.g. Lottie or lightweight video), working with the web and development team.
• Handle quick-turnaround requests without letting the quality bar drop.

AI & Creative Technology

• Integrate AI video, image, and animation tools into the motion workflow - from concepting and storyboarding to generation, upscaling, and clean-up.
• Test new tools and models as they emerge, and recommend what the team should adopt, with a clear view on quality, usage rights, and brand fit.
• Contribute to the team's AI creative studio, helping turn approved assets into templates that produce on-brand outputs.

Event Delivery

• Design and deliver on-stage and
