Motion / VFX / AI – Multiple Roles
Studio Pancho – Melbourne
We’re on the hunt for some gun Motion, VFX + AI artists to join the team at Pancho.
There’s a ton of work coming through, so we’re looking to fill multiple roles across both full-time and contract positions.
We’re looking for artists who love bringing ideas to life, have a strong eye for design and animation, and aren’t afraid to push things a bit further.
You should genuinely love what you do, care about the details and know when something needs another pass. Being adaptable, curious and good at figuring things out is important too.

AI
AI is becoming a pretty big part of the Pancho workflow, so this is important to us.
We’re looking for people who are genuinely interested in using AI as part of the creative and production process.
Experience with ComfyUI, Seedance, or similar is a big plus.
But knowing the latest AI tool isn’t the point. We’re looking for people who like experimenting and finding new ways to use this stuff – whether that’s concepting, look development, animation, VFX, compositing, asset creation or finding a smarter way to get something done.
You don’t need to know everything. You do need to be curious.
The Work
You’ll be working across a broad mix of projects, from TVCs and broadcast design through to digital, cinema, brand content and VFX.
Creating motion graphics and visual content across different styles, mixing 2D, 2.5D, 3D, VFX and AI workflows.
Some jobs will be concept-to-delivery. Others will be jumping into an existing production and helping get a shot, sequence or animation over the line.
The Right Person
You don’t need to be a master of everything.
We’re more interested in someone with strong fundamentals, good taste, curiosity and a willingness to get stuck in.
If you’re one of those prodigies with less experience but genuinely think you’ve got the skills, send us your work anyway.
Send your CV and reel/portfolio to jobs@pancho.com.au
