Lenovo
Overview
UX Motion Designer - AI Ecosystem at Lenovo. Lead the development of motion design systems that bring clarity, delight, and cohesion to AI-driven experiences. Work at the intersection of interaction design, prototyping, and guiding development cycles through final implementation. You will translate product vision into scalable motion principles and technical specifications, collaborating with UX/UI designers, researchers, engineers, senior leadership, and product teammates to define Lenovo’s motion language across devices and platforms. Location
Downtown Chicago, IL office on a hybrid schedule; 3 days onsite and 2 days remote. What You’ll Do
Define and evolve UX motion design systems aligned with AI-driven product experiences. Translate complex interactions into motion prototypes, specs, and handoff documentation. Collaborate with the Design Systems team to integrate motion into Figma libraries and guidelines. Partner with technical teams to ensure motion intent is preserved through implementation across devices. Develop motion principles that enhance clarity, usability, and brand identity across multimodal interfaces. Lead motion critiques and reviews, providing mentorship and direction to peers and cross-functional teams. Create high-fidelity prototypes using After Effects, Figma, Framer, Principle, or emerging tools to test and communicate motion behaviors. Contribute to documentation that supports consistency, scalability, and developer alignment. Stay current with emerging prototyping tools, technologies, and best practices in motion and AI design. Basic Qualifications
8+ years of experience in UX or product design with a strong focus on UX-specific motion design. Demonstrated experience contributing to a design system. Experience developing motion systems for shipped products. Expertise in After Effects, Figma, and emerging prototyping tools (e.g., Lottie, Framer, Principle). Bachelor’s degree in Design, HCI, Animation, or related field—or equivalent professional experience. Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing motion systems for AI or multimodal interfaces. Familiarity with implementation constraints and handoff workflows across Android, Windows, and web platforms. Comfort leading motion design workstreams and mentoring others. Knowledge of emerging tools in motion prototyping or generative design. Strong understanding of motion for usability, accessibility, and scaling performance across platforms. Ability to translate conceptual design into technical specs for development teams. Excellent collaboration, communication, and presentation skills. Compensation & Benefits
Base salary range: $125,000 - $160,000. Eligible for bonus and/or commission. Lenovo benefits: information at www.lenovobenefits.com. Equal Opportunity Employer.
