Summary
Freelance Junior Designer to create high-volume static, motion, and video ads for paid social and programmatic channels. Requires 1-3 years experience, Figma + motion tools fluency, and NYC onsite availability 3-5 days/week.
About the role
What You'll Do
- Design and ship static, motion, and short-form video ads across paid social, display, and emerging channels
- Iterate quickly on creative concepts based on what's working, and see assets through from brief to launch
- Build and maintain creative templates and systems that help the team move at volume without losing quality or brand integrity
- Turn real-time market moments and news into ad creative within hours
- Partner with growth marketers, copywriters, and brand designers to test hooks, formats, and angles
- Keep a pulse on what's happening culturally and bring fresh references back to the team
What We're Looking For
- 1–3 years of design experience (in-house, agency, or freelance) with a portfolio showing shipped work at volume — paid social, motion, or performance-led design strongly preferred
- Fluent in Figma and confident in After Effects, Premiere, or CapCut (or equivalent motion tools)
- Understand performance marketing well enough to talk shop with growth marketers — you know what a hook is, why a thumb-stop matters, and how creative drives CAC
- Move fast, take feedback well, and don't get precious about work that needs to be tested, killed, or remade
- Strong opinions about craft but stronger instincts about what converts
- NYC-based and available to work 3–5 days out of our office with consistent weekly hours and quick turnarounds
- (Plus) Interest in prediction markets, politics, finance, or internet culture
Compensation
- Competitive hourly or project-based rate, commensurate with experience
- This is a freelance/contract engagement — benefits such as health insurance and 401k are not included
