Associate Creative Director – Social

Latitude is a strategic creative agency committed to using business as a force for good. We’re women owned – and fiercely independent. As part of our team, you'll have the opportunity to work on breakthrough creative with world-class brands. You’ll contribute to a culture that values innovation, integrity and growth and help us continue to push boundaries to ignite extraordinary growth for our clients.

Position Overview:  We’re looking for a Social ACD who’s not just a thinker—they’re a maker. Someone who understands that big social ideas don’t just start in a brainstorm and end in a deck. They’re built in real time, on real platforms, by teams who aren’t afraid to design, shoot, edit, animate, or AI their way to a great idea.

This role is ideal for someone with an art direction or visual creator background who’s ready to lead while staying close to the work. You’ll guide the creative direction of always-on content, social campaigns, influencer integrations, and reactive moments—while also jumping in to make things yourself. You’ll manage a growing team of social writers, designers, and creators, helping them deliver work that’s fresh and on-brand every time
