Job Description
Associate Creative Director - Social
Location: Needham, MA and NYC
Department: Creative
Reports To: VP, Creative Lead
The Role
We're looking for a hands-on social creative to elevate Ninja's social storytelling globally. Someone who lives in trends, thinks in hooks, shoots in vertical, and edits with speed and style. You'll lead social for the Ninja brand, not just by thinking up ideas, but by making the direct, shooting, and editing the work.
As the ACD, you will work closely with our Global Social Strategy team, in-house and external content creators, social production partners, and product development to develop best-in-class creative that reflects our brand DNA and cultural relevance.
What You'll Do
- Own the creative vision for Ninja's social content
- Concept and execute bold, platform-native ideas
- Capture and edit short-form video content - in-studio, in your kitchen, or wherever the idea hits
- Collaborate with designers, writers, creators, and strategists to bring ideas to life
- Lead campaigns and trend-driven moments
- Give strong, clear feedback and push the work forward
- Keep up with trends, creator culture, and what's trending on TikTok and Instagram
- Evolve the voice and look of the brand across channels
- Use performance data to make the next piece of content even better
You'll Thrive If You
- Obsess over what makes content shareable
- Are a conceptual creative and a content creator
- Can go from idea to edit without blinking
- Know how to prepare and shoot food
- Live on TikTok and IG Reels - and know what works
- Can lead a team and still get your hands dirty
- Love fast-moving environments and can pivot quickly
What You Bring
- 5+ years creating and leading creative social content for brands
- A killer portfolio full of smart, social-first ideas you made
- Strong video editing and content capture skills (Premiere, CapCut, whatever gets it done)
- Comfort on set, behind the lens, and in the edit
- Real knowledge of how platforms work and what audiences want
- Ability to write, direct, and sell through ideas
Why This Role is Special
- Your work will be seen across the globe
- We move fast, make big things, and love bold ideas
- You'll help shape how Ninja shows up in culture - from drops to day-to-day content
- You'll join a creative team that goes with the best ideas
