We’re looking for a Senior Designer specializing in social media creative to support a leading retail brand. This is a hands-on, conceptual role for a multidisciplinary designer who can bring ideas to life across static, motion and video content.

 

You'll work across a high volume of social creative, taking briefs and campaign concepts and translating them into engaging, on-brand content tailored to different platforms, audiences and formats.

 

What You'll Do

  • Concept and design social-first creative across static, motion and video
  • Develop content for organic and paid social, Reels/TikToks, Stories, carousels, UGC-style content, promotional creative, product content and campaign activations
  • Take larger campaign concepts and thoughtfully roll them out across multiple social formats and platforms
  • Create platform-specific content for Instagram, TikTok, Meta and YouTube
  • Translate creative briefs into compelling visual concepts that feel fresh while remaining consistent with the brand
  • Take video and motion projects from initial concept through to final production-ready files
  • Adapt and version creative for different placements, dimensions and audience needs
  • Balance strong conceptual thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced retail environment
  • Manage multiple projects and priorities while maintaining a high standard of craft and attention to detail

 

What We're Looking For

  • Senior-level graphic designer with a portfolio demonstrating strong social media creative
  • Excellent conceptual and visual design skills, with the ability to generate ideas rather than simply execute against an established direction
  • Strong experience across both static and motion/video content
  • Demonstrated experience translating a campaign idea into a cohesive suite of assets across multiple formats and social platforms
  • Strong understanding of how creative needs to flex across Instagram, TikTok, Meta and YouTube
  • Ability to own motion/video deliverables from concept and creative development through editing, motion and final production
  • Strong typography, layout, composition and brand design skills
  • Comfortable working independently, managing multiple priorities and moving quickly without sacrificing creative quality
  • Retail, lifestyle or consumer brand experience is a strong asset

 

If you're a conceptual designer who understands how to create compelling, social-first work across static and motion, we'd love to hear from you.
