About this role
WHY HARVEY
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 2400+ customers in 70+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team moves fast, takes ownership, and is deeply committed to the mission — operating with intensity, staying close to our customers, and pushing each other for excellence. We live by three values: Decisiveness, Simplicity, and Job's Not Finished. We act quickly on clear judgment over perfect information, we believe simplicity is what scales, and we're never satisfied with where we are. If you want to do the best work of your career alongside people who share that drive, we'd love to build with you.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
ROLE OVERVIEW
Harvey is hiring a Staff Motion Designer in San Francisco to define how motion shows up across Harvey’s brand, product storytelling, launch moments, web experiences, customer education, and executive-facing creative work.

The role should build on existing motion and brand hiring standards, including deep portfolio review, visible process, cross-functional collaboration with PMM and Marketing, and practical assessment of prioritization under ambiguity. The person in this role will help Harvey turn complex AI product ideas into clear, memorable, and reusable motion systems that can scale across product launches, web surfaces, campaign assets, Academy or education assets, events, and internal/external storytelling.

- Partner closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Product Design, Creative Operations, and other GTM stakeholders to translate positioning, product context, and user needs into motion narratives that can ship quickly.
- Develop reusable motion systems, templates, animation princ
