Art Director/Senior Designer Sociallyin | Atlanta, GA (Remote) | $65,000 - $80,000
We’re hiring an Art Director to help elevate the creative standard across Sociallyin.
This isn’t a traditional agency Art Director role. We’re not looking for someone focused on print campaigns, brand guidelines, or award-show creative.
We’re looking for someone who understands social media. Someone who knows why content succeeds on TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and emerging platforms. Someone who can balance creativity with performance. Someone who can lead designers while still jumping into the work when needed. Someone who can help shape what great social-first creative looks like.
About Sociallyin
SociallyIn is a 100% social media-focused agency. Not "social plus a bunch of other stuff." Just social. For more than 15 years, we've helped brands navigate the ever-changing social landscape through strategy, content production, community management, paid social advertising, influencer marketing, and social selling. We're 50+ people strong, fully remote, and work with brands ranging from challenger startups to enterprise organizations.
As social media continues evolving faster than ever and AI reshapes how marketers work, we're investing heavily in the future of content production. That's where you come in. We're hiring an Art Director/Senior Designer to own client relationships, build and mentor our production team, and help grow accounts. We want someone who's genuinely curious about where this industry is headed and inherently, naturally, gloriously social, both online and off! We understand that creative sits at the center of everything we do, and this role will play a major part in defining what’s next.
