Job description

Compensation: This is a flat monthly rate contract at $6,000 per month

What You’ll Do

• Conceptualize, design, and execute motion + video ads, and supporting static assets as needed for performance testing.

• Build direct response-first motion systems: kinetic typography, punchy transitions, UI-style overlays, callouts, infographics, and performance-driven effects.

• Re-cut existing footage, adapt animated graphics, and create net-new variations for A/B testing and rapid iteration.

• Develop moodboards, styleframes, and storyboards to align internally and with clients before production.

• Leverage stock footage/imagery, SFX, and AI-assisted tools (e.g., image generation/editing, VO/asset support) to move quickly—especially for brands with limited existing content.

• Maintain exceptional project hygiene: naming conventions, layer structure, and organized project files that enable fast handoffs and easy revisions.

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing quality, timelines, and stakeholder expectations in a fast-paced environment.

• Stay on top of platform trends (paid + organic) and translate them into ad-ready creative patterns.

• Deliver across required formats/aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 16:9, etc.) and placements with strong attention to specs.

• We’re looking for an organized, collaborative hybrid designer who can execute cleanly at scale and thrive in a fast-turn environment.

• Strong design eye + direct response sensibility (clarity, hierarchy, pacing, hooks, CTAs).

• Comfortable producing stills + motion + video edits (not motion-only).

• Excellent file organization / project hygiene (naming conventions, clean layers, structured comps/timelines) — non-negotiable.

• Ability to follow team systems and processes (templates, shared files, handoffs).

• Experience working at high pace (agency experience is a strong plus).

• Flexibility and adaptability for integrating new tools, especially AI-assisted workflows.

Tools + Workflow

• Expert in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially After Effects + Premiere (Photoshop/Illustrator required; Audition a bonus).
• Figma proficiency strongly preferred (team is Figma-heavy; shared templates and fast iteration).
• Comfortable collaborating via Google/Microsoft/Slack productivity tools.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows for production speed (image generation/editing, VO/asset support, generative extensions).

Note: Tool usage varies by project, but the workflow is often After Effects–heavy with Premiere used when editing is the best tool for the job.
