Job Description

Responsibilities

Own all visual design for Bubble's owned social channels including static graphics, motion overlays, text treatments, and video editing across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
Edit short-form video content from raw footage to publish-ready cuts, including captions, transitions, sound syncing, and graphic placement
Ensure every asset reflects Bubble's visual identity
Select and apply on-brand motion graphics, text overlays, and design elements that elevate raw footage without overcomplicating it
Design natively for each platform — understanding the difference between what works on TikTok versus Instagram Reels versus YouTube Shorts and executing accordingly
Stay current on visual trends, formats, and emerging platform features; be the first to flag what we should be doing and make it happen
Build and maintain platform-specific templates and asset libraries that help the team move faster without sacrificing quality
Operate with a bias toward speed — understand how to get creative approved and out the door without getting stuck in revision loops
Manage your own workflow across multiple assets and deadlines simultaneously, with a clear sense of priority
Communicate clearly on status, timelines, and blockers so the social team is never waiting on creative

Requirements

4–7 years of relevant experience in social media design, digital art direction, or content production — preferably in beauty, wellness, or consumer brands
Experience managing photo shoots and video production
Expert-level proficiency in Photoshop, After Effects/Final Cut, Figma
Strong photo and video editing skills: you can take raw footage to a finished, publish-ready cut independently
Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — the formats, the aesthetics, the unspoken rules of what performs
Experience working in fast-paced, high-output environments where speed and quality have to coexist
Strong communicator and collaborator — you can work closely with a team without needing heavy direction
Familiarity with social scheduling and analytics platforms (e.g., Dash Hudson, Sprout Social) is a plus
