The role

We are looking for a Freelance Art Director to join our internal social creative team within the SoFi marketing department. The ideal candidate is someone who lives and breathes social media, can brainstorm and create content for multiple social platforms, intuitively understands what works best in each channel, and is comfortable being on camera. You'll be responsible for coming up with standout concepts for our owned and paid channels, including Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and our private Facebook group of over 50,000 passionate SoFi Members. In this role, you'll work with copywriters, strategists, motion designers, and other creatives as part of our in-house agency.

You might be wondering, "What will set me apart from the other candidates?" We're looking for a strong communicator who can express ideas clearly-not just on the page (or screen), but also in presentations and brainstorm sessions-and then bring them to life in execution. And if photography, videography, editing, animation, or all the above are also part of your repertoire, you'll have a chance to put them all to use. Our ultimate goal is to make incredible SoFi content that excites people to work toward getting their money right, and it's your job to make the content that'll get them to stop their scroll.

What you'll do:

  • Develop content of all types for day-to-day posting on social media.
  • Concept and execute new ideas for game-changing, thumb-stopping campaigns and properties.
  • Collaborate with strategy, product, and even our certified financial planners to bring SoFi's unique perspective on personal finance to a rapidly growing audience.
  • Iterate on high-performing ways to consistently drive acquisition in paid social.
  • Live and breathe social media, keeping up with the latest trends and constantly trying to one-up other best-in-class brands.
  • Maintain SoFi visual guidelines while creating graphics, illustration, and imagery that delight and get people to react, engage, and share.
  • Partner with a copywriter to sell ideas and bring them to life.
  • Anything else you can dream of - seriously, we're open to your ideas.

What you'll need:

  • Ability to both concept and execute-you'll have to dream big, then go make it happen with minimal oversight and sometimes limited resources.
  • Experience with current social best practices-you have an inherent grasp on what works, what's exciting, and what's old news.
  • Comfortable tackling a range of content, from straightforward tweets to big-budget long-form video content.
  • Expert multi-tasking and time management.
  • Sense of urgency-you want to go, move, make things happen, and shake things up.
  • Ability to understand technical content and quickly learn new material.
  • Knowledge of financial services/personal finance a plus.
  • Familiar with video editing software/apps and able to edit a simple short-form vertical video.
  • Personal characteristics
    • Creative
    • Curious
    • Open-minded
    • Strong communicator
    • Collaborative

  • Must have 1 - 3 years of experience working as an Art Director at an ad agency, in-house creative department, or freelancing for major brands.
  • Must have a strong portfolio that includes existing social work, with a variety of delightful or impactful work across multiple social channels
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • English proficiency and excellent eye for design and pixel perfection
  • Ad/portfolio school education preferred
