The role

Our mascot is Masterhooks' face everywhere, our website, social content, ads, and product videos. Right now it appears across formats without a single reusable 3D source, which makes consistency and transparent exports harder than they should be. We're building a proper 3D version of the mascot: a rigged, animatable asset that stays perfectly consistent, renders with a transparent background, and drops into anything from a TikTok hook to a hero animation on the homepage.

You'll own that asset end to end: model it, rig it, animate it, and hand off exportable, transparent video clips the whole team can reuse without regenerating anything from scratch.

What you'll do

• Model and texture a production-ready 3D version of the Masterhooks mascot, matching the existing character design

• Rig the mascot for flexible animation: face, body, and any props or accessories

• Build a reusable library of mascot animations and poses (idle, talking, reactions, transitions, loops) for social, ads, and web

• Render and export animations with a transparent alpha channel, ready to drop over any background

• Fix the consistency problem: same mascot, same proportions, same personality, in every single output

• Deliver a signature 3D hero animation of the mascot for use across the website and other core brand touchpoints

• Collaborate with design and content teams to fit mascot animations into new formats as they come up

• Maintain and document the asset (rig, materials, animation library) so it can be extended over time

What we're looking for

• 3+ years modeling and animating stylized 3D characters

• Strong portfolio showing character modeling, rigging, and animation, ideally mascots or similar cute/stylized characters

• Proficiency in Blender, Cinema 4D, or Maya, plus a rendering pipeline that supports transparent/alpha exports

• Comfortable rigging for both realtime/loop-friendly animation and one-off hero shots

• Good eye for maintaining character consistency and personality across many short clips

• Able to deliver web-optimized export formats (transparent video/WebM, Lottie, or similar) alongside source files

• Comfortable working from an existing 2D/AI-generated character design and translating it faithfully into 3D

• Able to work independently in a fully remote environment

Bonus points if you have experience with:

• Building mascot or brand-character systems for other companies

• Motion design for social-first, fast-turnaround content

• Integrating 3D animations into Framer or similar no-code website builders

How to apply

Send your reel or portfolio showing character modeling, rigging, and animation work, plus your software setup.

What we offer

• Competitive compensation based on experience

• Fully remote

• Flexible working hours

• Own the mascot as a lasting brand asset, used across web, social, and product for years to come
