The Role

  • Deliver clean, organized files with excellent self-QA practices
  • Maintain a fast turnaround speed and be available during 9am–6pm EST

Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in graphic design and/or motion graphics for social media advertising
  • Strong understanding of direct response creative, video pacing, hook design, and engagement techniques
  • Proficient in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator (Bonus: Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign)
  • Portfolio showcasing both static and motion social ad creative (TikTok, Facebook, IG, YouTube, etc.)
  • Comfortable creating from scratch using copy, brief prompts, or performance data
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)
  • Reliable, detail-oriented, and capable of working quickly without sacrificing quality

Bonus Points

  • Experience with MOGRTs, meme-inspired visuals, or short-form UGC-style design
  • Familiarity with AI tools and LLMs for ideation and refinement
  • Prior work in direct response or ecommerce performance marketing

Tech Requirements

  • OS: Windows 11 (64-bit) or macOS 13+
  • CPU: Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or Intel 6th Gen+
  • RAM: 16GB+
  • GPU: Apple M-series chips or NVIDIA RTX 3060+
  • Storage: 50GB free
  • Monitor: 1920 x 1080 minimum
  • Software: Access to Adobe Creative Cloud (2025 versions)

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly freelance rates (paid monthly)
  • Remote, project-based workflow with ongoing creative opportunities
  • Transparent booking requests — you choose which jobs to accept
  • Performance feedback to help you continuously improve your work
  • A supportive team of producers, editors, and marketers working at the cutting edge of performance creative
