The job
We’re on a mission to create a cult brand that meaningfully impacts growing businesses across the country, and are looking for a Social Media Designer who’s passionate about design and the social media landscape to join our team.
You’ll be part of the broader marketing team, and will collaborate with stakeholders across the company to primarily create assets for our social channels, which include Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Depending on the team’s workload, we’ll need you to jump in on print and digital collateral, landing pages, swag creation, and more.
You’re a self-motivated person with an eye for pixel-perfection and fine-tuned aesthetics. You enjoy the challenge of explaining complex ideas simply. You think strategically and aren’t afraid to dive into the details. You have experience working within brand guidelines, but also enjoy finding new and creative ways to apply them. You’re excited to tackle every project—no matter how big or small. This role sits on the marketing team and reports to the Brand Design Manager.

- Set a high bar for effective, approachable, elegant, and clean design

- Think abstractly. You’re able to take an intangible product and make it come to life visually.
- Communicate in-process and finished work to stakeholders
- Seek feedback from stakeholders, partners, and teammates. You’re able to digest, distill, and incorporate feedback into your work, and follow up. You’re able to involve others in the design process. You approach conversations with openness and a sense of possibility.
- Meet tight deadlines and pivot when priorities change
- Solicit and deliver constructive feedback to fellow designers
- Manage creative resources, internal and external
- Provide feedback and art direction to external vendors and partners
