Droga5 Senior Social Art Director
About The Position
Droga5 is looking for a Senior Social Creative with a Design focus who leads with ideas and executes with craft. You are not a production artist or a template filler — you are a creative thinker who happens to express ideas through image, motion, and visual systems. You make things that look distinct, feel native, and stop the scroll. You'll concept, design, and produce social-first assets across campaigns and always-on programs for some of the world's most recognizable brands — working shoulder-to-shoulder with copy creatives, strategists, producers, and influencer teams who move at the speed of culture.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in a art direction role, at an agency or brand with a serious social practice
- A portfolio that demonstrates both conceptual strength and executional craft — ideas that are as compelling as the work they became
Nice To Haves
- Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and Figma
- Deep fluency in TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and the visual languages that define each platform
- Experience in motion design, short-form video editing, and animation — you make things move with intention
- Ability to shift between lo-fi and high-production aesthetics depending on what the moment demands
- Strong instincts around typography, layout, color, and composition applied specifically to social formats
- Experience with generative AI tools for image and video production is a plus
- A collaborative, ego-light approach — you're as energized by building on someone else's idea as you are by leading your own
Responsibilities
- Generate visual ideas for social content that are original, platform-native, and culturally tuned — from big campaign moments to reactive day-to-day content
- Develop concepts across formats: Reels, TikToks, carousels, stories, motion graphics, memes, templates, and emerging formats
- Bring creative ambition to every brief — push past the expected and advocate for work that earns attention
- Collaborate with copy creatives and strategists to develop concepts that are as strong in words as they are in visuals
- Design and produce high-quality social assets across still, animated, and video formats — from concept through final delivery
- Create motion graphics, typography-driven content, and short-form video edits that feel native to each platform
- Be hands-on in production: shoot, capture, animate, and edit with speed and quality across lo-fi and higher-production contexts
- Develop and maintain visual systems, templates, and design guidelines that enable consistency and scale across a brand's social presence
- Design for the real conditions of social — small screens, silent autoplay, fast-scrolling audiences — not for a presentation deck
- Maintain a deep understanding of each client's visual identity, adapting and evolving it for social contexts without losing brand integrity
- Stay current on design trends, platform aesthetics, creator visual languages, and emerging formats that shape what success looks like on each channel
- Contribute visual thinking to pitches, presentations, and internal thought leadership that elevates Droga5's social creative reputation
