Our work spans multiple industries, platforms, and client accounts, requiring designers who can move quickly, adapt creative across channels, and maintain strong brand consistency while meeting the technical requirements of each platform.\nWe've teamed up with Handoff to bring on a Digital Graphic Designer who will create high-performing digital creative across paid social, display, programmatic, retail media, and organic social channels. This role is ideal for someone who understands that great digital design goes beyond aesthetics, combining strong visual judgment with platform specs, safe zones, file requirements, and performance considerations. You'll also use AI-assisted design tools as part of your regular workflow to accelerate production and explore new creative directions without sacrificing quality.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nPaid Social & Digital Creative:\nDesign static, carousel, and short-form video or motion creative across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and LinkedIn.\n\nAdapt campaign concepts into multiple aspect ratios and formats, including 4:5, 1:1, 9:16, and 16:9.\n\nDesign within platform-specific safe zones, text limits, technical specifications, and approval requirements.\n\nCreate platform-native creative that feels intentional rather than simply resized across channels.\n\nDisplay & Programmatic:\nCreate static and HTML5 display ads across standard IAB sizes and digital advertising formats.\n\nDesign within file-size, technical, and platform restrictions for ad networks and DSPs.\n\nBuild responsive and adaptive creative systems that scale efficiently across large display campaigns.\n\nMaintain visual consistency while adjusting layouts and assets across multiple formats.\n\nRetail & Retail Media:\nDesign product-level and sponsored creative for retail media platforms including Amazon, Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, DoorDash Ads, and Instacart Ads.\n\nFollow retailer-specific creative guidelines, image requirements, and approval standards.\n\nDevelop A+ Content, storefront assets, product detail page creative, and other marketplace content as needed.\n\nAdapt creative quickly as retailer requirements and platform standards evolve.\n\nOrganic Social & Content:\nCreate content for feeds, Stories, Reels, carousels, and other organic social formats.\n\nTranslate broader campaign concepts into platform-first social content that feels native to each channel.\n\nStay current on emerging social formats, content styles, and platform trends.\n\nSupport both static and vertical-video creative needs across client brands.\n\nAI, Workflow & Collaboration:\nUse AI-assisted tools for generative imagery, object/background removal, resizing, repurposing, and creative exploration.\n\nApply sound judgment around when AI is appropriate based on brand standards, licensing, and client sensitivities.\n\nPartner with strategy, media buying, and account teams to translate campaign goals into effective creative.\n\nMaintain organized design files, templates, and reusable assets while continuously improving the design-to-launch workflow.\n\nABOUT YOU\n2+ years of experience designing for digital advertising, ideally in an agency or multi-client environment.\n\nStrong portfolio featuring real, shipped work across paid social, display, retail media, or digital advertising.\n\nStrong working knowledge of platform specs, safe zones, formats, and creative requirements across channels such as Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, and retail media.\n\nProficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.\n\nComfortable using AI-assisted design and image-generation tools as part of a regular creative workflow.\n\nStrong eye for typography, layout, visual hierarchy, and brand consistency.\n\nAbility to adapt creative across multiple brand voices, accounts, platforms, and campaign formats.\n\nHighly organized and comfortable managing multiple projects, clients, deadlines, and revisions simultaneously.\n\nStrong communication skills with the ability to receive and incorporate feedback from multiple stakeholders.\n\nDetail-oriented approach with the ability to maintain quality while working at a fast production pace.\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience designing for CPG or financial services clients.\n\nExperience creating HTML5 banner ads or working with tools such as Google Web Designer, Celtra, or similar platforms.\n\nDirect experience with Amazon, Walmart Connect, Target Roundel, DoorDash, or Instacart creative.\n\nBasic understanding of paid media metrics such as CTR, CPM, and creative performance, and how those insights can inform design decisions.\n\nExperience with After Effects, motion design, or basic video editing.\n\nFamiliarity with Figma or other collaborative design platforms.\n\nExperience with AI tools such as Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Photoshop Generative Fill, or similar platforms.\n\nWHY YOU’LL LOVE IT\nDesign for real performance channels: Your work will live across paid social, retail media, display, programmatic, and organic social.\n\nWork across multiple brands: You'll have the opportunity to design within different visual identities, audiences, and campaign objectives.\n\nBuild smarter creative systems: You'll create adaptable design systems rather than rebuilding every format from scratch.\n\nUse AI as part of the creative process: AI-assisted tools are expected to help you move faster, explore more ideas, and streamline production.\n\nCollaborate across disciplines: You'll work closely with strategy, media, account, and creative teams to connect design with campaign goals.\n\nStay close to what’s changing: Platforms, formats, and creative standards evolve constantly, giving you room to experiment, learn, and sharpen your craft.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5803,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CMS
