ABOUT MADEBYNPS
MadeByNPS is an experiential creative agency in the East Bay helping brands, small businesses, and creators tell better stories through social media, design, photography, and experiential work. We work with photographers, lifestyle brands, hospitality clients, and personal brands who care about looking and sounding intentional. Our sister studio, MadeByYou, is a creator-friendly studio space opening in Hayward where people book rooms to shoot content, record podcasts, and make things.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're hiring one person to run social media + light ad management + graphic design for our agency and our clients. This is the role for a multi-hyphenate creative who can post to Instagram in the morning, design a flyer at lunch, and tweak a Meta ad in the afternoon. You'll work directly with the founder and a small team. Lots of creative freedom, fast feedback, and real ownership over what you ship. Frequent on-set days at content shoots.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Plan and post content on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn for MadeByNPS, MadeByYou, and 2-3 client accounts
- Design graphics, carousels, story posts, flyers, and digital assets in Canva, Photoshop, or Illustrator
- Schedule content through Metricool (we'll train you)
- Set up and lightly manage Meta Ads (Instagram + Facebook) — boosting posts, running small lead-gen campaigns
- Pull monthly performance numbers and share what's working
- Help with brand consistency across emails, posts, decks
- Frequent on-set day at content shoots, helping behind the camera
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
- 1-3+ years running social media for a brand or as a freelancer
- Confident in Canva and at least one of Photoshop, Illustrator, or Figma
- Hands-on with Meta Ads Manager — you've launched a few campaigns yourself
- Strong design eye — you know good design when you see it
- Reliable, communicative, deadline-driven
- Based in or near Hayward / the East Bay (you'll come in for shoots and collabs)
NICE-TO-HAVES
- TikTok content creation experience
- Klaviyo or other email tool experience
- Video editing (CapCut, Premiere)
- Experience with creator economy or lifestyle brands
WHY THIS ROLE IS COOL
- Direct access to the founder — no agency politics
- Real input on creative direction
- Hybrid setup — most remote, in-studio when it adds value
- Variety — agency client work, our own brands, plus a studio launch in motion
- Hours and scope can grow with the right person
