Designer - Talent Pool
About Darkroom
Darkroom is the leading next-generation growth marketing firm engineering the brands of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, we set out to redefine what a modern agency could be, by replacing the inertia of legacy advertising behemoths with a model built for speed, intelligence, and measurable impact.
At our core, Darkroom is a human services company powered by Shadow, a universal AI commerce layer that integrates executive-level strategy with proprietary agentic technology. This fusion enables our teams to deliver outsized returns by enhancing creative output, operational efficiency, and revenue generation across every stage of the customer journey.
Our track record speaks for itself: billions in attributable revenue driven across e-commerce marketplaces, media networks, DTC ecosystems, and social commerce platforms. Every engagement feeds into our proprietary data infrastructure, enabling a continuous feedback loop that accelerates growth, improves margins, and compounds results across our client portfolio.
What began as a boutique design studio has evolved into one of the fastest-growing private companies in America (Inc. 5000) and among the most effective performance media agencies of the 2020s (Varos). Our founders were recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancing the intersection of technology, marketing, and advertising, cementing Darkroom’s role as a defining player in the future of media innovation.
About the Role
Please note: We are not actively hiring for this role at the moment, we are building a talent pool for future opportunities we anticipate opening soon. Strong candidates may be contacted proactively as our team continues to expand.
As a Designer in the Marketing Team, you have the opportunity to shape how Darkroom communicates visually across every major touchpoint. This role is focused on building bold, clear, and strategic design assets that translate complex ideas into compelling visual narratives.
You will concept and execute end-to-end design work across social media, presentations and marketing assets. From early concept to final production, you will create visual worlds that express what we want to say and how we want to be perceived.
Working closely with the Marketing Team Design Lead and cross functional partners, you will turn copy and ideas into design. Every asset you create should feel intentional, cohesive and aligned with Darkroom’s creative standard.
This is a fully remote role supporting a team in the EST time zone (9 AM–5 PM EST).
What You’ll Do
Create high quality visual assets for organic social, paid media, internal and external presentations, and thought leadership content.
Develop end-to-end design concepts that bring marketing narratives to life across social media and decks.
Translate positioning, insights, and strategy into strong visual systems that feel cohesive across channels.
Partner with marketing and strategy teams to shape creative direction for campaigns and content series.
Maintain consistency across all brand expressions while evolving the visual language as the company grows.
Contribute to and refine our Figma based brand system to ensure scalability and clarity across outputs.
Own projects from concept through execution, including layout, typography, image selection, and final delivery.
You Should Apply If This Sounds Like You
Have 3 to 5 years of experience in brand, marketing, or visual design within a fast paced creative team or agency.
Have a strong portfolio that demonstrates concept driven design across social, brand campaigns, and presentation work.
Think in systems and narratives, not isolated assets. You can build a visual language around an idea and extend it across formats.
Are fluent in Figma and comfortable building scalable components and organized design files.
Have strong typography and layout instincts and understand how to balance clarity with visual impact.
Can take a strategic brief and translate it into a distinct creative direction.
Are organized, accountable, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams.
Communicate your design thinking clearly and collaborate well with marketers, strategists, and leadership.
Understand how design shapes perception and influences behavior, especially in social and content-driven environments.
Take ownership of outcomes, push work to a high creative standard, and turn abstract discussions into tangible visual concepts.
