Job description:
Social Media Graphic Designer / Visual Content Specialist – Remote
Location: Remote
Employment Type: Contract 1 yr with renewal.
Industry: Luxury Home & Outdoor Living / Design & Manufacturing
This Is a Design-First Role. Our products are highly visual, and the presentation of our brand matters just as much as the message behind it. Night Shift 3hrs overlap required to match with PST.
We are looking for a graphic designer with a strong eye for interiors, architecture and luxury product presentation to take ownership of the visual execution of our social media content, primarily for Instagram and Pinterest.
We are not looking for a traditional social media manager whose main strength is captions, scheduling, hashtags or social media strategy. Our marketing team will provide the overall marketing direction, campaigns, product priorities and messaging.
What we need is someone who can take that direction and turn it into beautiful, polished, brand-appropriate visual content.
You should be able to look at a collection of product photography, lifestyle images and campaign direction and know:
-Which images work together
- How they should be cropped and composed
- How typography should be handled
- When a design needs restraint rather than additional graphics
- How to create a consistent visual language across multiple posts
- How to make premium products look premium
- How Instagram and Pinterest content should differ while still belonging to the same brand
Strong visual judgment is the most important requirement for this position.
You will create and prepare visual content for DreamCast's Instagram and Pinterest channels, including:
-Instagram feed posts
- Instagram carousels
- Instagram Stories
- Pinterest pins
- Multi-image layouts
- Product-focused graphics
- Lifestyle and inspiration content
- Promotional and campaign graphics
- Educational product content
- Before-and-after or project features
- Designer and customer project features
- Simple video and Reel graphics
- Typography and text overlays
- Image selection, cropping and retouching
- Adapting existing photography into multiple social formats
- Maintaining a consistent visual style across our social channels
You will work from our existing photography, product imagery, brand assets and marketing direction.
There may also be opportunities to contribute ideas and concepts, but this position is primarily focused on high-quality visual execution.
Graphic Design
A degree, diploma or formal education in Graphic Design, Visual Communication or a closely related field is strongly preferred.
You should have:
- Excellent layout and composition skills
- Strong typography skills
- A sophisticated understanding of colour,
proportion and visual hierarchy
- Strong image-selection and cropping judgment
- Experience creating clean, editorial-style layouts
- Excellent attention to detail
- The ability to work within an established brand rather than imposing a personal design style on every project
Experience with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator is required.
Experience with Adobe InDesign, Canva, Figma or similar tools is an asset.
DreamCast operates in the premium home, architecture and interior-design market.
We are looking for someone whose portfolio demonstrates an understanding of:
- Interior design
- Architecture
- Furniture
- Luxury home products
- Editorial design
- High-end lifestyle brands
- Clean and sophisticated visual presentation
A technically skilled designer whose portfolio is primarily loud, highly promotional, heavily templated or designed around fast-moving consumer products may not be the right fit for this role.
We value restraint, proportion, typography, photography and composition over excessive graphic elements.
Previous professional experience creating content for Instagram and Pinterest is preferred, but exceptional graphic design ability is more important to us than years of social media management experience.
You should understand the basic requirements of visual social platforms, including:
- Instagram feed and carousel formats
- Instagram Stories and Reels
- Pinterest pin dimensions and layouts
- Creating variations from the same creative concept
- Designing content that works well on mobile
- Maintaining visual consistency across a feed
You do not need to be responsible for developing our entire social media marketing strategy.
Additional Skills That Are Helpful
Experience with any of the following would be an advantage:
- Interior-design or architecture brands
- Luxury products
- Home furnishings
- Building products
- Photography retouching
- Short-form video editing
- Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects
- Creating mood boards
- Pinterest content
- Working from established brand guidelines
You will receive direction from our marketing team regarding:
Products to feature
Current campaigns
Promotional priorities
Brand messaging
Content themes
Marketing objectives
You will be expected to take that direction and determine the strongest way to visually communicate it.
We want someone who is comfortable receiving feedback, making revisions and developing a strong understanding of the DreamCast visual identity over time.
Within the first few months, you should be able to receive a relatively easy content brief and independently produce work that:
Looks recognizably DreamCast
Requires minimal visual correction
Uses our photography effectively
Feels sophisticated rather than overly promotional
Is consistent from post to post
Is appropriate for a premium North American design audience
Application Requirements
A portfolio is mandatory.
Please include examples of your strongest work involving:
- Social media graphics
- Editorial layouts
- Luxury or lifestyle brands
- Interior design, architecture or home products, if available
- Instagram or Pinterest content
Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to complete a time-limited practical design test using DreamCast photography and a brief provided by our team.
The test will focus primarily on visual judgment, layout, typography and your ability to interpret our brand direction.
We are looking for someone who combines genuine graphic-design training with strong visual instincts and who enjoys making beautiful products look exceptional online.
Education & Experience Requirements
- Degree or diploma in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Digital Design, or a closely related field
- Minimum 2–3 years of professional graphic design experience
- Demonstrated experience creating visual content for Instagram and Pinterest
- Strong portfolio showing high-quality work in layout, typography, image composition, and digital/social media design
- Experience working with premium, luxury, interior design, architecture, home, furniture, or lifestyle brands strongly preferred
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator
- Experience creating Instagram posts, carousels, Stories, Reels graphics, and Pinterest pins
- Experience adapting one creative concept into multiple sizes and formats for different platforms
- Experience working from brand guidelines and marketing briefs
- Strong photo-selection, cropping, retouching, and image-composition skills
- Experience receiving creative feedback and completing revisions accurately
- Basic video editing or motion graphics experience is an asset
