Visual Marketing Specialist
Empowering the Next Generation to End Factory Farming: What would it mean to you if you could dedicate your time, talent, and energy to creating a more just and sustainable food system?
Working at New Roots Institute isn't a job for us; it's a commitment to a cause. We are a growing nonprofit dedicated to ending factory farming, and we are seeking a passionate and experienced Visual Marketing Specialist to join our team!
Is New Roots Institute the right place for you? Here’s what you should know:
We value having the opportunity to make a difference and aren’t afraid of working hard. We’re looking for people who possess the resilience and determination to excel in fast-paced and demanding roles while understanding how to differentiate between working really hard (good) and unsustainable self-sacrifice (not so good).
We continuously question our own biases and assumptions and adapt when we recognize we’re wrong. We’re looking for people who are self-aware and know how to put their ego aside to achieve shared goals.
We're results-oriented, strive for excellence, and are looking for people who can say they never miss deadlines.
Giving and receiving honest and direct feedback is foundational to our culture. We're looking for people who are eager to use constructive feedback to grow, and help others to grow, both personally and professionally.
Because we work remotely, proactive communication and quick responses are key to building trust and working effectively together. We’re looking for people who excel at keeping everyone updated.
We genuinely enjoy working together and look for ways to have fun, despite the tragic nature of what we are up against. Check out our Rotten Truth series on YouTube to see how we use humor to grapple with the grim reality of factory farming.
In this role, you will:
Create compelling graphic designs, infographics, and multimedia content that advances organizational objectives.

This role requires someone who is:
Able to translate complex organizational impact into clear, engaging visual content that resonates with diverse external audiences and drives measurable engagement results.
Committed to maintaining exceptional visual consistency across all touchpoints while ensuring error-free, professional-quality deliverables that enhance organizational reputation.
Skilled in video production, photography, and digital design with the ability to manage projects within timelines and budgets while achieving performance targets.
Excellent at working cross-functionally with storytelling and digital marketing teams, actively contributing strategic ideas during planning phases rather than simply executing requests.
Capable of building and maintaining efficient asset management systems that promote accessibility, reduce redundancy, and streamline workflows across the organization.
Focused on achieving measurable outcomes like increased click-through rates, video completion rates, and positive stakeholder feedback while continuously optimizing visual strategies for maximum impact.
Other requirements:
At least 4 years of equivalent experience in visual marketing and/or communications.
