Role Description

We’re looking for a social-first Art Director with 4–6 years of experience who can concept, design, and bring ideas to life across fast-moving digital and social channels.

You’re a strong graphic designer and conceptual thinker, but you’re also comfortable stepping onto a small production set, directing talent, and making confident creative decisions in the moment.

This is a remote role for someone based in Southern California, with regular in-person shoots throughout the greater Los Angeles area.

• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, plus fluency in Figma
• A strong eye for visual storytelling, typography, composition, and copy
• The ability to translate brand guidelines into work that feels fresh, relevant, and native to each channel
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple fast-turn projects from concept through delivery
• A collaborative, proactive working style: you ask sharp questions, respond well to feedback, and iterate quickly
• Curiosity about AI and other emerging tools that can support ideation, design exploration, and production
• Motion design, video editing, or animation experience is a plus
