A fast-growing consumer brand is seeking a part-time Visual Designer with strong marketing and video experience to help elevate its brand aesthetic and digital presence. This role is ideal for a designer who blends creative storytelling with performance-driven design, especially across paid social and digital advertising platforms.


You'll play a key role in translating an established brand strategy into compelling, high-performing visual assets-particularly short-form video ads-while helping modernize the overall look and feel.


What You'll Do



  • Design high-impact static and video ads for platforms including Meta and Google Performance Max

  • Create short-form, low-production video content optimized for performance marketing (e.g., pre-roll, social ads)

  • Translate brand strategy and guidelines into engaging marketing assets

  • Collaborate closely with:

    • Brand Strategist

    • Paid Ads Specialist

    • Social Media Manager

    • Email Strategist

    • Web/Content team (site banners, digital assets)



  • Help define and maintain a consistent visual identity across all digital channels

  • Contribute proactive creative ideas and concepts, not just execution

  • Potentially explore and advocate for new channels (e.g., TikTok) and help execute strategy


What We're Looking For



  • 4+ years of experience in visual design within marketing/advertising

  • Strong portfolio showcasing:

    • Paid social ads (static + video)

    • Performance-driven creative work



  • Experience designing for:

    • Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

    • Google Performance Max / YouTube pre-roll



  • Ability to create engaging short-form video content (animation or motion preferred)

  • Background working with consumer brands or agencies

  • Strong understanding of audience-driven design and conversion-focused creative

  • Proactive, concept-driven thinker who can generate original ideas


Tools & Skills



  • Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)

  • Motion/video tools (After Effects or similar)

  • Familiarity with performance marketing creative best practices


Nice to Have



  • Experience developing or contributing to a TikTok content strategy

  • Understanding of rapid testing environments for ad creative

  • Experience working in lean, fast-moving teams


Aesthetic Direction


We're looking for a designer who can elevate the brand visually by:



  • Moving toward a more image-driven, lifestyle-focused aesthetic

  • Bringing a "raw," authentic, modern feel to content

  • Creating work that resonates with a younger, design-conscious audience

  • Taking inspiration from leading lifestyle brands while maintaining a unique identity


Engagement Details



  • Part-time: ~20 hours/week

  • Contract Duration: Through January (with evaluation for extension)

  • Start: ASAP


Why This Role Matters


This role fills a critical gap-bringing video and elevated design into performance marketing efforts-and will have a direct impact on brand perception and customer acquisition.
