About Craighill

Craighill is a Brooklyn-based design studio creating enduring, beautiful, and useful objects with a deep commitment to ingenuity, curiosity, and long‑term creative ambition. From our Greenpoint studio, we’ve built one of the largest design‑focused organic social accounts in our category, with more than half a million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. We’re building an independent company meant to endure for generations — focused on durability in product, culture, and creative integrity.

Over the past year, our organic videos have fueled rapid growth. Our next chapter is building a performance creative machine that honors our design principles while producing high‑volume, high‑quality output. The goal is to reach the people already paying attention — and bring them more fully into our world.

Key Responsibilities
  • Edit paid social ads with strong pacing, motion instincts, and narrative clarity
  • Produce 10–20 weekly creative assets (70 percent iterations, 30 percent new tests)
  • Build structured test matrices across hooks, pacing, framing, overlays, and sound
  • Recut and adapt existing assets for platform‑native performance
  • Capture and post 1–2 behind‑the‑scenes Stories most days, independently
  • Develop BTS captures into Reels as our system matures
  • Maintain light, consistent engagement in comments and DMs
  • Turn community insights into ads, including comment‑response formats
  • Use Premiere, After Effects, and Figma; apply light design and copywriting skills
  • Keep assets organized and workflows crisp
  • Balance speed, rigor, and Craighill’s design‑forward ethos
Qualifications
  • 2–4 years of experience editing short‑form paid social content, ideally with Meta/TikTok exposure
  • Demonstrated ability to produce high‑volume variations and recuts for active campaigns
  • Strong instincts in pacing, rhythm, motion, and narrative clarity
  • Experience analyzing early performance signals (thumbstop, hold curves, top‑performing structures)
  • Baseline fluency in Premiere, After Effects, and Figma
  • Light graphic design and copywriting ability
  • Comfortable operating within weekly testing cadences
  • Low‑ego, collaborative, energized by in‑person creative work
  • Genuine interest in design, craft, and building something enduring
Why Craighill

We’re an independent brand with long‑term ambition: building a company meant to outlive us. Our creative choices, cultural values, and direction are entirely our own. You’ll edit alongside a team that cares deeply about performance and design integrity, taking a long view on creative excellence.

Our culture is defined by curiosity, ingenuity, and endurance, with a friendly, high‑performing in‑person energy. Being together in our Greenpoint studio is a real creative advantage. If you want to make high‑performing ads while helping shape a lasting design brand, this is a rare opportunity.
