ABOUT FIELD & STREAM
Field & Stream is the world's leading outdoor lifestyle brand. With origins dating back to 1871, F&S has taught a nation to hunt and fish, to camp and explore, to survive and thrive in the outdoors—all while leading the charge to conserve and fight for wildlife and wild places. The secret to our longevity is simple: Hunters and anglers love a great story—and nobody tells one better than Field & Stream. In 2024, the legacy brand was unified under the same ownership for the first time in its history, including key investors and country music artists Eric Church and Morgan Wallen. Now embarking on a new chapter, the next generation of Field & Stream includes a return to print, a membership community, new collections of apparel, upholstered furniture and a variety of other products, a music festival, hunting and fishing Excursions Powered by BirdDog, a lodge in Bozeman, MT, and much more.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Social Media Designer/Video Editor II is a hands-on visual storyteller on the social team. Each day, this person will find the strongest angle in a story, shape it for the feed, and execute it with strong editorial judgment and craft. The role calls for fluency in Adobe Creative Cloud, a sharp eye for images and typography, and the ability to move quickly from concept to publish-ready assets.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Concept, design, and produce Instagram carousels and photo albums that turn editorial stories, field reporting, and visual assets into clear, compelling narratives.
- Select images, write or refine concise on-card copy with editors and producers, and build layouts that create a strong opening hook and a reason to keep swiping.
- Edit short-form video and create motion graphics, animated text, compositing, and other enhancements for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and related formats.
- Create thumbnails, cover art, social graphics, and cutdowns; adapt stories and campaigns for Instagram Stories and other platform-specific placements.
- Partner with the social team, editors, photographers, video producers, and commercial collaborators to translate briefs into original, publish-ready creative.
- Develop new visual formats and iterate on existing ones using audience response, platform behavior, and editorial feedback.
- Manage multiple daily deadlines; organize working files and source assets; check facts, spelling, image usage, formatting, and export specifications before delivery.
WHO YOU ARE
Field & Stream is seeking a creative, resourceful maker who thrives on a fast-moving editorial calendar and cares as much about the story as the design. The ideal candidate understands how hunters, anglers, and outdoor audiences consume social content and can make a carousel compelling from its first card through its last. This role also requires:
- An instinct for story structure, image selection, pacing, typography, and the details that make a social post worth stopping for.
- Strong editorial judgment and a willingness to pitch original ideas, test new formats, and improve work through feedback.
- The ability to collaborate across editorial, production, and social teams while owning creative execution from brief through final export.
- Comfort juggling daily output and longer-term projects without sacrificing accuracy, craft, or deadlines.
- 3+ years of professional experience designing social-first content and editing short-form video for a media brand, publisher, creative studio, or comparable organization.
- Advanced, hands-on proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
- A portfolio or links to published work are required with every application. Include examples of Instagram carousels or photo albums, short-form video with motion graphics, and thumbnails or social imagery; identify your specific contribution to collaborative work.
- Demonstrated ability to design for Instagram feed and Stories and adapt assets for other social platforms. Strong writing, proofreading, and visual research skills.
Preferred
- Experience in editorial, outdoor, hunting, fishing, travel, or sports media.
- Experience working with photographers, editors, and video producers on rapid-turnaround stories.
- Familiarity with audience performance data and using it to improve visual formats and story packaging.
