Job Description

Social Media Art Director



Are you the kind of creative who sees a trending moment and immediately thinks, How can we make this visually unforgettable, how can this work for a brand? Do you thrive in the fast-paced world of social media, crafting conceptual content that stands out in a sea of sameness? If you love turning insights into impactful visuals, creating on the fly, and making magic with minimal resources, this role is for you.



What You'll Do:



Design for Impact - Create bold, engaging, and platform-native visuals that grab attention and spark conversation. Turn Data into Creativity - Work with the insights team to translate social trends and audience behavior into smart, strategic design ideas. Stay on Trend - Keep your finger on the pulse of internet culture, emerging aesthetics, and viral content to keep our brand ahead of the curve. Be Hands-On - Whether it's shooting content on the go, editing in real time, or making the most of a scrappy budget, you're ready to roll up your sleeves. Think Conceptually - Develop visual ideas that go beyond just "looking good"--every piece of content should have purpose and personality. Collaborate & Execute - Work closely with copywriters, strategists, and community managers to bring ideas to life in fresh and innovative ways.

What You Bring:



3+ years of experience in social-first design, motion, or art direction. Animation and motion design skills a plus. A strong portfolio showcasing high-impact, conceptual social content. A deep understanding of different social platforms and what works visually on each. The ability to balance quick-turn reactive content with more polished, strategic creative work. A passion for social media--you're always online, always inspired, and always experimenting. A resourceful, get-it-done attitude--you know how to make small budgets work hard. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (bonus points for motion and video editing skills). A keen eye for aesthetics, composition, and storytelling in a social-first world.

Why Join Us?

We're a team that thrives on creativity, speed, and making an impact. If you're obsessed with internet culture, love to create, and aren't afraid to dive in and make things happen, we'd love to have you. Ready to design the future of social? Let's go!
