Type: Full-time

The Role
We’re hiring a Creative Associate to join our in‑house creative team. This is a multi‑disciplinary role for someone who can move fluently between mediums — design, video, motion, photography, web — without losing quality on any of them.

You’ll work directly under the Assistant Creative Director and contribute across our creative lanes: brand, site, paid, and organic social. You’ll have your hands on nearly everything we ship — from editing UGC into high‑performing ad cuts, to shooting your own content with iPhones and DSLRs, to designing static ads for Meta, to building motion concepts, to laying out web sections that convert, to producing original posts for our organic social feeds.

Variety is the job. If you’ve always wanted a place where the breadth of your skill set actually gets used, this could be the role for you.

What You’ll Do

Edit raw UGC and influencer footage into platform‑ready ad cuts for Meta, TikTok, and YouTube

Shoot original product, lifestyle, and BTS content with DSLR/mirrorless cameras — and help direct talent on set when needed

Design static creative for paid social — single‑image ads, carousels, billboards, and banner units

Build assigned organic social posts from scratch — concept, shoot, edit, design — partnering with our Organic Social Strategist and internal creative leadership on direction & approvals

Build motion graphics and animated ad concepts (kinetic type, product demos, transitions, light VFX)

Design web sections, landing pages, and more — handing off cleanly to our dev team or building directly when the tool allows

Concept and storyboard new campaign ideas

Maintain brand consistency across every output while pushing creative experimentation in advertising

Move fast — we ship dozens of creative tests every month and read the results carefully

What We’re Looking For
This is a mid‑level role. We’re guiding around 2 years of experience in a multi‑disciplinary creative seat (in‑house, agency, freelance, or any combination), but it’s not a hard requirement. Strong portfolios and an amazing work ethic are valued here.

What matters

A real multi‑tool fluency: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects) and/or equivalents (Figma, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve)

Design sensibility — clean typography, intentional layout, brand‑aware color, and a strong eye for hierarchy

Camera comfort — DSLR or mirrorless shooting, basic lighting set‑ups, audio capture

Video editing chops — feel for pacing, hooks, and platform‑native rhythm

Native, in‑app editing proficiency (like TikTok editor)

Web design basics — able to layout web designs in software of choice. Direct Shopify experience is a plus

Organic social literacy — feel for what reads as native (not an ad) on Instagram, TikTok, and Reels, and the ability to take a brief from a strategist and turn it into a post that earns attention on its own

Organized, fast, and detail‑oriented — you can juggle four projects across four mediums in a week without losing quality

A portfolio that shows range, not just one style

Bonus Points For

Past DTC, e‑commerce, or CPG creative experience

Photography background (product or lifestyle)

Direct experience editing influencer/UGC content for paid social

Hands‑on experience producing or contributing to a brand’s organic social presence

Open to co‑directing creators/talent on shoots

Familiarity with Shopify, Klaviyo, or other DTC stack tools

Freelance advertising experience

AI prompting skillset — for generative media and more

Why This Role Is Worth It
You’ll work on a small, ambitious team where your output ships immediately, gets tested in‑market, and gets attributed back to revenue. We’re at a creative inflection point as a brand — refining what we say, who we speak to, and how we show up — and the person we hire will help shape that across every touchpoint.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation and benefits

The gear, software, and runway to do your best work

Ownership of high‑impact projects from day one

A team that treats creative as core to the business, not a service function
