Why Harvey At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. 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 1000+ customers in 58+ 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 is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us. At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started. Role Overview As Head of Motion & Video at Harvey, this role is built around three core responsibilities: motion design leadership, video creative direction, and team leadership. First, you are the creative owner of motion design at Harvey. You will define and evolve our motion language, partner closely with our Creative Director on direction and standards, personally execute high-impact motion work, and lead a team of motion designers to ensure consistency, quality, and craft across brand, marketing, and product surfaces. Second, you are the creative authority for video. You own how Harvey’s videos are conceived and told, including concept development, story, visual aesthetic, and storyboarding. You will direct video creatively from pre-production through post, select and guide external creative talent and agencies, and ensure every video reflects Harvey’s precision, restraint, and point of view. You will partner closely with our Video Producer and Creative Operations team, who own production logistics and execution, to deliver world-class work. Third, you are a people leader. You will manage, mentor, and grow a team of motion and video experts, setting clear expectations, providing thoughtful feedback, and building a culture of craft, ownership, and collaboration.
