About this Role
We are seeking a creative and detail-oriented Social Graphic/Motion Designer to join our growing Brand and Marketing team on a part-time contractor basis.
This role is responsible for designing best-in-class social creative — from static graphics and carousels to motion assets and campaign support — across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn. You will build and maintain scalable templates and design systems, elevate short-form video with motion graphics, and help evolve Nex's social visual identity.
This is a great opportunity for someone with strong visual instincts and platform-native design sense who wants to help build a mission-driven brand at the intersection of movement, family, and technology.
Core Responsibilities
- Design and produce best-in-class social creative across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn, including carousels, static graphics, Stories, motion assets and campaign support.
- Create motion graphics, animations and graphic treatments that elevate short-form video content and improve overall creative quality.
- Support game launches, IP partnerships, seasonal campaigns and always-on content with polished, social-first design assets.
- Develop and maintain editable templates and scalable creative systems that enable faster, more efficient content production.
- Partner closely with the internal creative and social team to evolve and uphold Nex's social visual identity, templates and creative toolkit.
- Optimize creative specifically for social platforms, ensuring assets are designed for engagement, readability and mobile-first consumption.
- Adapt campaign creative into platform-specific social assets while maintaining consistency across channels.
- Collaborate with the Social Lead, content creator and agency partners to bring creative concepts to life from storyboard through final execution.
- Stay current on evolving social design trends, motion styles and platform creative best practices to continuously elevate the brand's visual presence.
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment, balancing quick-turn reactive requests alongside larger campaign deliverables.
Required Qualifications
- 2–4+ years of experience in social graphic design and motion design, ideally for a consumer, gaming, or entertainment brand.
- Strong portfolio of social-first creative (carousels, Stories, static graphics, motion assets) across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) or equivalent design and motion tools.
- Experience building and maintaining editable templates and scalable creative systems.
- Strong understanding of mobile-first, platform-specific design best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in gaming, family, or consumer tech brands.
- Experience supporting game launches, IP partnerships, or seasonal campaigns.
- Familiarity with short-form video editing or motion graphics for social.
- Experience collaborating with agency partners and cross-functional creative teams.
What Sets You Apart
- Strong visual and brand instincts with platform-native design sense.
- Ability to translate concepts into polished, on-brand execution quickly.
- Highly organized, comfortable managing multiple deliverables at once.
- Excited about building a new category around active, family-first play.
We Offer
- Competitive compensation package.
- Flexible working hours and vacation policy.
- Product-driven culture that treasures talents and individual growth.
- Front-row seat and hands-on experience with cutting edge technologies in the evolving gaming field
