Job description

Senior Graphic Designer (Meta Ads) | Full-Time | Remote

Read this part even if you read nothing else.

We are hiring one ELITE, senior designer. Not a good designer. An exceptional one. Someone with years of experience designing static ads for Meta, whose first draft is close to final, whose attention to detail is obsessive, and whose work comes back from clients with minimal feedback because the quality is top-level every single time. If that is not you, please don't apply.

This is a full-time, committed role. No freelancers. No part-timers. No agencies. If you are juggling other clients, this is not for you.

About us

1mpact Media is a founder-led performance marketing agency. We run paid social for premium DTC e-commerce brands, personal-brand education businesses (webinars, courses, books) and lead-gen clients in sensitive categories like health, wellness and investment. Almost everything we design is direct-response static advertising, and it goes live on Meta within days of approval. You will see exactly what your work does.

The role

You take an approved copy doc and a visual direction and turn it into large batches of on-brand, placement-safe, legible ads. A single brief regularly runs to 30, 50, 90 or 160+ finished ads once variations are counted. You will carry three to five accounts at once: a premium brand with exacting type and spacing standards in the morning, a 90-variant headline batch in the afternoon. Occasionally you will also create image assets for client websites.

What you will do:

• Design high-volume DR statics, offer and bundle ads, iterations of winners, retargeting and testimonial ads, and carousels
• Build template systems that turn one concept into 50 to 150 clean variants, with enough visual variety that Meta treats them as different ads
• Design for every Meta placement: 9:16 with safe zones that use the full canvas, 4:5 and 1:1, plus Google PMAX adapts
• Follow each client's brand guide, imagery rules and AI restrictions precisely
• Self-QA every batch for legibility, safe zones, typos, product accuracy and naming before anyone else sees it

What we require:

• 4+ years designing performance ads, most of it on Meta statics. Live ads, not concepts
• Expert Figma and Photoshop, including templates and components built for batch production
• Strong typography for small screens, including legibility for older audiences
• Serious AI image skills: you can prompt image models precisely enough to get the exact output you pictured, then finish it by hand. No distorted faces, no AI artefacts. And you are equally strong without AI, because several of our clients require real photography and traditional editing only
• Exceptional attention to detail: product accuracy, proofreading, alignment, exact file naming. This is the single most important trait for the role
• Clear written English and comfort with fast, async feedback

What you get:

• Your work live on Meta within days, with a direct line to performance
• Real variety across premium, personal-brand and regulated accounts
• A fully remote, async team that treats designers as peers and welcomes well-argued pushback
• A founder and Creative Director who review creative themselves and give specific, usable feedback
