You'll create content across
static, motion, animation, and short-form video
for platforms including
LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok
, working across both
organic AND paid social
.
We need someone who understands that great social creative isn't simply a campaign resized for Instagram. You understand
hooks, platform behavior, trends, pacing, formats, and what makes someone stop scrolling
.
This is a senior, hands-on creative role with
no formal people management
. You'll focus on the craft while helping set the standard for what great social creative looks like.
What You'll Do:
Create
social-first content
across static, motion, animation, and short-form video
Design specifically for
LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and emerging social platforms
Work across both
organic AND paid social
, adapting your creative approach based on the objective and audience
Create scroll-stopping
motion graphics, animated typography, Reels, short-form video, and static content
Translate larger campaign concepts into
platform-native social creative and cutdowns
Develop creative with strong
hooks

social trends, formats, platform behaviors, and creative best practices
into your work
Adapt and optimize creative across different channels, audiences, formats, and aspect ratios

content, copy, production, PM, and wider creative teams

What We're Looking For:

and how paid social differs creatively from organic content
Experience working in a fast-paced
social agency, creative agency, content studio, or in-house social/creative team
Experience with B2B or corporate brands is beneficial
Strong professional English for collaborating with global teams
The Key Thing
We're
not looking for a general graphic designer who occasionally creates social assets
.
We're looking for someone who
lives and breathes social creative
.
You should understand why something works on TikTok but might not work on LinkedIn, how paid creative differs from organic, when motion will outperform static, and how to turn an idea into something that feels
native to the feed rather than adapted for it
.
If your portfolio is packed with
social-first design, motion, animation, short-form video, and platform-native creative
, we'd love to see it.
