About The Position

IPSY is seeking a Senior Designer, Social & Digital with a social-first, digital-native mindset to join our Creative team. This role lives primarily in always-on paid growth and organic social, where you’ll design, animate and help conceptualize content built to perform on-platform, not just look good in a deck. You'll partner closely with the Art Director, channel/discipline leads and production designers on strategic ideation and campaign concepts, while helping drive the always-on content engine. This is a role for someone who thinks in feeds, short-form hooks and platform behavior, not someone coming from a print or brand-systems background. The Senior Designer reports to the Senior Manager, Art Director. The ideal candidate will be based in Los Angeles, California and able to come on-site to the Santa Monica office one day per week.
