Designer, Social & Brand

About Darkroom Darkroom is the leading next-generation growth marketing firm, engineering the brands of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, we set out to redefine what a modern agency could be, by replacing the inertia of legacy advertising behemoths with a model built for speed, intelligence, and measurable impact.

At our core, Darkroom is a human services company powered by

Shadow , a universal AI commerce layer that integrates executive-level strategy with proprietary agentic technology. This fusion enables our teams to deliver outsized returns by enhancing creative output, operational efficiency, and revenue generation across every stage of the customer journey.

Our track record speaks for itself:

billions in attributable revenue

driven across e-commerce marketplaces, media networks, DTC ecosystems, and social commerce platforms. Every engagement feeds into our proprietary data infrastructure, enabling a continuous feedback loop that accelerates growth, improves margins, and compounds results across our client portfolio.

What began as a boutique design studio has evolved into one of the

fastest-growing private companies in America (Inc. 5000)

and among the

most effective performance media agencies of the 2020s (Varos) . Our founders were recognized by

Forbes 30 Under 30

for advancing the intersection of technology, marketing, and advertising, cementing Darkroom's role as a defining player in the future of media innovation.

About The Role This is a social content design role. You will own how Darkroom shows up visually on social media — carousels, static posts, content series, story templates, short‑form video graphics, and campaign visuals across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.

You should understand what stops a scroll. You think about format constraints, platform behavior, and visual rhythm, not just aesthetics. You know that a carousel is a storytelling format, not a slide deck shrunk down. You know that a LinkedIn post image has a different job than an Instagram Reel cover.

You should also be a strong designer beyond social. You'll work on presentations, identity extensions, and marketing collateral.

You’ll work closely with the VP, Marketing, and cross‑functional partners to turn strategy and copy into design. This is a high‑output role with real creative ownership — you won't just execute briefs. You'll concept visual systems, develop content series, and push the quality bar on everything that carries our name.

This is a fully remote role, EST hours (9 AM–5 PM).

What You'll Do Social Content Design

Own the social content pipeline end‑to‑end: planning, narrative, storyboard, design, and iteration through approvals. Instagram is the priority platform, but you'll also design for LinkedIn, TikTok, and X.

Design carousels, static posts, story templates, short‑form video graphics, and platform‑native formats at a consistent weekly cadence. Carousels are a major format for Darkroom, and you should love making them.

Build visual systems and content series — repeatable frameworks and templates, not starting from scratch every time.

Hit content velocity targets. Consistency matters as much as quality.

Stay current on platform specs and in‑feed trends and bring that into every asset.

Track performance and iterate. When something works, build on it. When it doesn't, diagnose and adjust.

Manage your own workstreams — flag blockers early and deliver on deadline.

Case Studies, Presentations, and Brand

Design case study visuals that turn client results into compelling proof points for sales and social.

Create assets for internal and external presentations: decks, pitch materials, and thought leadership visuals.

Maintain Darkroom's Figma‑based brand system — templates, asset libraries, and scalable components.

Support identity work as the brand evolves: event branding, merch, and co‑marketing materials.

You Should Apply If

You have 3+ years of experience in brand, marketing, or visual design.

Your portfolio leads with social work — carousel systems, content series, platform‑native creative. If it's mostly logos and brand guides, this isn't the right fit.

You think in systems and understand how design performs on social: thumb‑stops, pacing, format constraints, platform behavior.

You're fluent in Figma — scalable components, organized files, shared libraries.

You have strong typography and layout instincts across formats — a carousel slide and a presentation deck should both feel elevated.

You're a designer first who specializes in social, not a social media person who picked up Figma.

You're organized, accountable, and communicate your design thinking clearly.

What It's Like To Work At Darkroom Darkroom is not a typical agency. We are looking for A players who want to build something great. We move fast, think deeply, and expect every team member to bring insight and rigor to everything they touch. We hold a high bar for performance, creativity, and ownership — but we also support each other relentlessly. No egos, no red tape — just world‑class talent building something remarkable.

We believe in autonomy with accountability, truth over comfort, and outcomes over optics.

Unlimited PTO + Local holidays (Relevant to your hub): Rebooting is part of the work. Take the time you need to stay sharp.

Remote‑First Culture: Many roles are fully remote. Employees based in or near our New York or Lisbon HQs are expected to work hybrid with weekly in‑office time. Hub locations include Brazil and Spain.

Parental Leave: Flexible parental leave to support new parents during this important transition.

Growth: Our interdisciplinary model gives every Darkroomer exposure far beyond their core role. Grow your skills, expand your influence, and stay at the forefront of the industry.

Equal Opportunity Statement Darkroom is an equal opportunity workplace — we are dedicated to equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national orientation, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status. We also consider qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with legal requirements.
