Job Summary

Drive multi-format digital design work and basic video support across social, ads, and campaigns.

Own end-to-end visual content for social, ads, and campaigns across formats.
Must-have: 3–5 years of hands-on creative experience in agency or fast-paced environments.
Standout: Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Canva with basic motion capabilities.

Job Description

Responsibilities

Design Execution: Produce high-quality digital design assets across client accounts: social graphics, ad creative, email visuals, landing page elements, and presentation decks.
Flex into capacity gaps alongside our senior designers on branding, print, and digital deliverables.
Resize and adapt assets across formats and platforms without losing quality or brand consistency.
Work independently from creative briefs and brand guidelines, managing multiple deliverables at once.
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and Canva required.
Basic Video & Motion: Edit short-form video content for social, paid ads, and client deliverables. This does not need to be your primary skill, but it is something we will lean on you for.
Produce reels, social cuts, and repurposed content from raw footage or existing assets.
Create basic motion graphics and animated elements to support static design work.
Understand how video performs across platforms and adapt accordingly.
Social & Ad Creative: Build visual content for organic social and paid social campaigns across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and TikTok.
Produce ad creative in multiple formats (static, animated, and video) in partnership with our paid media team.
Think beyond the brief and bring ideas for creative approaches that could improve performance.
Tools & Innovation: Stay current on emerging creative tools, including AI-assisted design and production tools, and bring what you learn back to the team.
Help the broader creative and social teams work faster and smarter as the toolset evolves.

Requirements

3-5 years of hands-on creative experience, ideally agency-side or in a fast-paced in-house environment.
Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Figma, and Canva.
Comfort with video editing tools such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut.
Experience producing content for social media platforms: you know what a good reel looks like and how to make one.
Comfort with ad creative production: you understand that a Meta ad and a brand brochure are different things and know how to approach both.
Working knowledge of motion graphics tools (After Effects or similar) is a strong plus.
Familiarity with AI design and creative tools. We are not looking for an expert, but you should be curious and already exploring.
A portfolio that demonstrates range: static design, video, social content, and ideally ad creative.
Agency experience required.

Benefits

We offer a competitive package including health, dental, and vision coverage, paid parental leave, 401(k) matching, PTO, company holidays, and ongoing support for education and professional development.
