Job details

Associate Creative Director & Social Lead

About the role:

We're looking for a rare hybrid talent who can translate our founder's vision into stunning visual stories across all touchpoints. You'll be the creative engine behind our brand, equally comfortable art directing a shoot, editing video in-house, and crafting our social presence with an editor's eye for taste.

What you'll do: 

You'll own the creative execution from concept to publish. That means producing and managing shoots (coordinating talent, locations, shot lists), doing hands-on creative work when needed (photography, video editing, graphic design), and running our social channels with a curatorial, mood board-driven approach. You're the bridge between our founder's creative vision and what the world sees: translating brand direction into cohesive, scroll-stopping content that feels effortlessly cool and design-forward.

You are

Someone who lives at the intersection of creative direction and production. You have strong art direction chops and can communicate a clear creative vision to collaborators, but you're not precious (you'll jump into Premiere or Photoshop to get it right). You understand social media not just as a posting platform but as a visual medium with its own language and rhythm. You know how to build a feed that feels like a carefully curated gallery, where every post contributes to an unmistakable aesthetic point of view.

  • 4–7 years experience in creative roles spanning production, art direction, and social
  • Portfolio demonstrating cohesive visual storytelling across mediums
  • Hands-on proficiency with creative tools (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, etc.)
  • Deep fluency in social platforms, trends, and what makes design-conscious audiences engage
  • Experience managing shoots from pre-production through post
  • Impeccable taste and the judgment to know when to push boundaries vs. stay on-brand
  • A sense for the tradeoffs between premium content and content that performs well

This role is for someone who doesn't fit neatly into one box. 

  • Full-time, in-office position (5 days per week) based in New York City.
  • Cash Compensation: $100K-$200K DOE
