ABOUT THE ROLE

The Social Media Designer/Video Editor II is a hands-on visual storyteller on the social team. Each day, this person will find the strongest angle in a story, shape it for the feed, and execute it with strong editorial judgment and craft. The role calls for fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud, a sharp eye for images and typography, and the ability to move quickly from concept to publish-ready assets. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Concept, design, and produce Instagram carousels and photo albums that turn editorial stories, field reporting, and visual assets into clear, compelling narratives. 
• Select images, write or refine concise on-card copy with editors and producers, and build layouts that create a strong opening hook and a reason to keep swiping. 
• Edit short-form video and create motion graphics, animated text, compositing, and other enhancements for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and related formats. 
• Create thumbnails, cover art, social graphics, and cutdowns; adapt stories and campaigns for Instagram Stories and other platform-specific placements. 
• Partner with the social team, editors, photographers, video producers, and commercial collaborators to translate briefs into original, publish-ready creative. 
• Develop new visual formats and iterate on existing ones using audience response, platform behavior, and editorial feedback. 
• Manage multiple daily deadlines; organize working files and source assets; check facts, spelling, image usage, formatting, and export specifications before delivery. 

WHO YOU ARE

Field & Stream is seeking a creative, resourceful maker who thrives on a fast-moving editorial calendar and cares as much about the story as the design. The ideal candidate understands how hunters, anglers, and outdoor audiences consume social content and can make a carousel compelling from its first card through its last. This role also requires: 

• An instinct for story structure, image selection, pacing, typography, and the details that make a social post worth stopping for. 
• Strong editorial judgment and a willingness to pitch original ideas, test new formats, and improve work through feedback. 
• The ability to collaborate across editorial, production, and social teams while owning creative execution from brief through final export. 
• Comfort juggling daily output and longer-term projects without sacrificing accuracy, craft, or deadlines. 

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

Required 

• 3+ years of professional experience designing social-first content and editing short-form video for a media brand, publisher, creative studio, or comparable organization. 

• Advanced, hands-on proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. 

• A portfolio or links to published work are required with every application. Include examples of Instagram carousels or photo albums, short-form video with motion graphics, and thumbnails or social imagery; identify your specific contribution to collaborative work. 

• Demonstrated ability to design for Instagram feed and Stories and adapt assets for other social platforms. Strong writing, proofreading, and visual research skills. 

Preferred  

• Experience in editorial, outdoor, hunting, fishing, travel, or sports media. 

• Experience working with photographers, editors, and video producers on rapid-turnaround stories. 

• Familiarity with audience performance data and using it to improve visual formats and story packaging.
