About this role
We’re looking for a conceptually strong, creatively hybrid Social Content Creator to join the Studio team at Code and Theory.

You’re equal parts creative thinker and hands-on doer—fluent in traditional tools like Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, but just as comfortable prototyping in generative design programs like Weavy, Runway, Firefly, Midjourney, ChatGPT, Higgsfield, Veo, or whatever’s next. You understand that the best content doesn’t just look good—it performs, and you’re energized by building ideas that feel native to the platform, rooted in insight, and optimized for speed.
You’ll help lead content-first projects across top-tier clients and internal initiatives, including branded content, social campaigns, editorial series, thought leadership, and creative storytelling formats. You’ll guide junior creatives, partner with social strategists and motion designers, and help push the boundaries of what fast, smart, social first creative can be.

Collaborate with social strategists and media partners to optimize creative for distribution and iteration
Guide and mentor junior designers, editors, and writers—elevating craft and pushing experimentation

Experience across social, content, and platform-first storytelling—within an agency, publisher, or in-house team
A strong portfolio that shows a balance of conceptual thinking and hands-on execution—including copy, design, and cross-platform content
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and generative tools (Firefly, ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway, Veo, etc.)
Deep understanding of modern content formats, platform behaviors, audience dynamics, and creative performance metrics
Experience delivering work across a wide range of media: static, motion, editorial, live-action, and hybrid production
Excellent communication, collaboration, and presentation skills—you know how to pitch ideas and bring them to life fast
You bring sharp ideas and stylish execution to every project—whether it’s a 3-second scroll-stopper or a multi-part content series
You help define a new standard of AI-enhanced, high-performance creative that blends speed, craft, and relevance
You push the team to think more strategically, act more natively, and experiment more boldly—without losing sight of quality
