Digital Designer & Social Media Specialist
Full Time Bend, OR, US

7 days ago Requisition ID: 1003

Salary Range: $60,000.00 To $70,000.00 Annually

We're looking for an experienced digital designer to own the creative behind our in-house brands. This is a hands-on, high-volume role with three parts: designing the paid social and display advertising that drives our lead flow, running our organic social presence end to end, and overseeing the visual design and layout of our websites and landing pages. This role requires an eye for branding, visual story-telling, and the ability to build and extend a brand identity rather than only work inside one. You will be expected to design ads for social media platforms aimed at hitting performance metrics (e.g. cost per lead, cost per acquisition and cost per message).

This is the sole design role on the team, so you will not be working from a queue handed down by a creative director. You will take a performance goal or a campaign brief, decide what the creative should be, build it, ship it, and use the results to decide what to build next. The people who do well here are comfortable being the only designer in the room, ask for the context they need, and close their own loops.

Responsibilities (including but not limited to)

Create and iterate ad creative for digital advertising campaigns on, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram and Google, aimed at hitting performance targets

Produce creative in volume and in variations - multiple concepts, formats and aspect ratios per campaign - to support ongoing testing

Review ad performance data with the marketing and analytics team and translate it into the next round of creative

Adapt static concepts into short-form motion, video and animated ads where the channel calls for it

Plan, build, schedule and publish organic content across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and other active channels

Monitor and respond to comments, reviews, DMs and other inbound social engagement, escalating customer service and compliance questions to the right person

Oversee visual design and layout for brand websites and landing pages, working with our front-end developer on implementation

Maintain and extend brand standards across ads, web, social, email and internal materials

Follow brand and advertising-claims guidelines closely - our creative is subject to advertising and telecom compliance review

Set your own priorities against marketing goals and communicate progress and workload with Team Leads

Maintain file organization in Google Drive and within working files

Adhere to department file naming conventions

Perform other duties as business needs dictate
