Job Description

Good Giant is the largest gaming-focused advertising agency in the United States and operates in Reno, Nevada, Mobile, Alabama, Chicago, Illinois and Tulsa, Oklahoma. We provide comprehensive marketing services to various brands with a specialization on tribal and commercial casino resorts from coast to coast.

Animation is everywhere. No matter the campaign or promotion, there’s always something that could use an animator’s touch. We’re looking for a highly skilled and technically driven Animator to join our Production team. This role is central to our digital content output-particularly for our casino and resort clients, where we produce animated digital signage at a high volume and across dozens of specifications. The ideal candidate is an expert in Adobe After Effects and Premiere and has experience supervising and mentoring other animators. Strong collaboration and communication skills are critical, as you’ll be working directly with producers, art directors, designers, and account teams.

This position also requires oversight of our junior animation team. Familiarity with templated production workflows, efficient file management, and digital signage best practices is a must. The ability to support video editing for TV, web, and social applications is a core part of the role. If you’re passionate about animation, thrive under pressure, and know how to make complex projects run smoothly-we want you on our team.

This is a full-time position reporting to the Production Director. Location in one of our office markets (Mobile or Reno) preferred, but hybrid or remote arrangements will be considered based on candidate and team structure.
