Social Media Art Director

Position Overview:

We're looking for a Social Media Art Director who thinks in visuals, moves fast, and knows exactly what a scroll-stopping frame looks like. This role owns the visual execution of Bubble's owned social channels (every post, every graphic, every cut) across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. You're not waiting on a creative brief to tell you what looks good. You already know.

Sitting at the intersection of creative and social, you'll work directly with the Social Media team to bring content to life that is brand-aligned, platform-native, and built to drive engagement. You can toggle between video and photo without thinking twice, you have a point of view on design, and you don't let process slow down output.

Key Responsibilities:

Visual Design & Content Production

•     Own all visual design for Bubble's owned social channels including static graphics, motion overlays, text treatments, and video editing across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
•     Edit short-form video content from raw footage to publish-ready cuts, including captions, transitions, sound syncing, and graphic placement
•     Ensure every asset reflects Bubble's visual identity 
•     Select and apply on-brand motion graphics, text overlays, and design elements that elevate raw footage without overcomplicating it

Platform-Native Execution

•     Design natively for each platform — understanding the difference between what works on TikTok versus Instagram Reels versus YouTube Shorts and executing accordingly
•     Stay current on visual trends, formats, and emerging platform features; be the first to flag what we should be doing and make it happen
•     Build and maintain platform-specific templates and asset libraries that help the team move faster without sacrificing quality

Speed, Approvals & Workflow

•     Operate with a bias toward speed — understand how to get creative approved and out the door without getting stuck in revision loops
•     Manage your own workflow across multiple assets and deadlines simultaneously, with a clear sense of priority
•     Communicate clearly on status, timelines, and blockers so the social team is never waiting on creative
•     Take direction efficiently and translate feedback into fast, accurate revisions

Qualifications:

• 4–7 years of relevant experience in social media design, digital art direction, or content production — preferably in beauty, wellness, or consumer brands
• Experience managing photo shoots and video production
• Expert-level proficiency in Photoshop, After Effects/Final Cut, Figma
  • Strong photo and video editing skills: you can take raw footage to a finished, publish-ready cut independently
• Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — the formats, the aesthetics, the unspoken rules of what performs
• Experience working in fast-paced, high-output environments where speed and quality have to coexist
• Strong communicator and collaborator — you can work closely with a team without needing heavy direction
• Familiarity with social scheduling and analytics platforms (e.g., Dash Hudson, Sprout Social) is a plus
