Designer - 1000heads

We are looking for a Designer to join our growing creative team in NY.

The 1000heads Creative team is a proud, powerful collective of social copy and design obsessives, experts managing creative output. You will work closely with a whole host of departmental specialists, from Accounts, Insights, to Paid Media, to Strategy to deliver transformational social-first work for our clients

Salary Range: 70-80k

2 days a week on average in office

Role

You love all things design and you sweat the details. You’re as comfortable animating as you are talking about why Papyrus is a travesty. You love the challenge of coming up with and executing the best creative solution for any given problem, and you have no hang-ups about collaborating with senior staff on a design-savvy team to produce engaging content according to a variety of briefs.

You’ll be expected to explore and start mastering a strong point of view in design and be able to explain your choices to other people on your team (and to the client). Your daily tasks will include social asset creation from start to finish, animation, video editing, presentation layout, concept mockups, and photo editing.

You get the technical stuff (design best practices, new techniques, and new platforms). You get the non-technical stuff (people and what drives them, no matter who they may be). Sound like you? We’re just a contact away.
