About the Opportunity

We're partnering with a leading consumer media company seeking a creative, social-first Graphic Designer to help elevate its digital presence and bring engaging visual stories to life.

This is an exciting opportunity for a designer who understands what makes content stand out in a crowded social feed and can translate creative concepts into polished, compelling visuals.

You'll work closely with a social and content strategy team to create high-quality static graphics, infographics, and carousels while helping shape and evolve the brand's visual identity.

We're looking for someone who brings fresh ideas, strong design instincts, and the ability to move quickly in a fast-paced content environment.

What You'll Do

• Design engaging, high-quality static graphics for social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more.

• Create compelling infographics, carousels, and visual storytelling assets.

• Translate creative briefs and content concepts into original, polished designs.

• Develop creative assets for marketing campaigns, brand collaborations, and sponsored partnerships.

• Help evolve and maintain a recognizable visual identity while bringing fresh creative approaches to each project.

• Collaborate with social and content teams to produce engaging, platform-specific creative.

• Deliver high-quality work with quick turnaround times in a fast-paced, news-driven environment.

What We're Looking For

• Strong proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.

• A standout portfolio showcasing social-first graphic design, including static graphics, infographics, and carousels.

• Excellent typography, composition, layout, and visual storytelling skills.

• A strong understanding of social media platforms, creative trends, and what captures audience attention.

• Ability to take a creative brief and independently develop compelling visual concepts.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to produce polished work under tight deadlines.

• A collaborative mindset, adaptability, and a willingness to bring new ideas to the table.

We're open to a range of experience levels. Whether you're an emerging designer or have several years of experience, what matters most is your portfolio, creativity, and ability to execute.

Nice to Have

• Motion graphics or animation experience.

• Experience with Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro.

• Short-form video editing experience.

• Experience designing for media, sports, entertainment, or other fast-paced consumer brands.

Motion design and video editing are a plus, but not required. This role is primarily focused on static graphic design.

Why This Opportunity?

You'll have the chance to make a meaningful creative impact on a highly visible consumer brand, collaborate with a passionate content team, and help shape a growing social presence.

If you're a designer who loves creating scroll-stopping visuals, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and wants to bring fresh creative thinking to a recognizable brand, we'd love to connect!
