About the Role

We’re looking for an Associate Creative Director (Social Media) to help lead bold, culturally attuned creative work across platforms. This role bridges big-picture concepting with day-to-day execution — combining brand storytelling, social platform fluency, and design/production know-how. You’ll collaborate closely with strategists, copywriters, designers, and account teams to bring ideas to life that move audiences and drive results.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the Creative Director to lead the creative vision and execution across social-first campaigns, content series, and brand storytelling.
• Concept, develop, and oversee creative ideas that are native to each platform (Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.) and grounded in strategy.
• Direct and mentor designers, copywriters, and content creators to elevate work across all stages of production.
• Ensure all content meets brand standards and delivers cohesive visual and verbal identities across channels.
• Stay ahead of emerging trends, cultural moments, and social platform innovations to fuel fresh creative thinking.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with account, strategy, and production teams to maintain timelines, budgets, and client expectations.
• Present ideas and creative rationale confidently to internal teams and clients.

Who You Are

• A conceptual thinker with a strong eye for design, visual storytelling, and social trends.
• Comfortable toggling between hands-on creation and creative direction.
• Confident in leading brainstorms, providing feedback, and pushing ideas to their best version.
• Curious, collaborative, and energized by building work that earns attention and engagement online.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in a creative role within an agency or brand environment (social-first experience required).
• Portfolio demonstrating creative excellence across multiple social platforms.
• Strong understanding of social creative strategy, paid/organic formats, and content performance metrics.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and/or motion tools (After Effects, CapCut, etc.) a plus.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills.
