Senior Creative
Job Description
We’re on the hunt for an experienced and inspiring creative problem solver who is experienced in (and obsessed with) helping brands connect to consumers through influencers and creators.
They’ll be a key senior member of the team, responsible for developing ideas for our biggest and most complex creative briefs, working alongside and inspiring other team members and mentoring junior members of the team too.
We need someone who’s self-motivated & proactive. Someone who has been consistently providing original solutions to problems they’ve been given, and to problems they’ve proactively uncovered too.
Job Overview
This person will deeply understand what great social content looks like today and has their finger on the pulse of what's to come. They spot emerging trends, know which creators are defining the next wave, and think ahead so the brands and social content they work on are always culturally relevant — never catching up.
They'll understand how to develop ideas that get the best out of creators — giving enough direction to inspire, but leaving enough space for them to add their authentic creative spark too.
We’re looking for someone who is unsettled, in that they are in constant pursuit of better. They believe what has been done before is not ‘Best Practice’ but ‘Best so far’.
We want to see an obsession with creators, social media and the value they can offer to brands, but we’d also love to see an understanding of what ‘good’ looks like in other brand marketing channels too.
Main Duties and Responsibilities
Creative Thinking and Making
6+ Years of creative experience developing original ideas across brand social, creator channels and beyond.
You have a proven background as an Art Director, Copywriter, or Creative Strategist, with a portfolio to match.
You're always tapped into culture. You love developing scroll-stopping, culture-first creative ideas that feel native to the feed and impossible to ignore.
You’ll work simultaneously across a variety of brands, talking to a variety of audiences, in a variety of markets.
You’ll be confident working in the role of a creative through every stage of the creative process with autonomy; from initial briefing to production and final delivery.
You’ll structure, design and present your ideas (usually in Google Slides) composed of a compelling narrative with great content examples/ references.
Proficiency in Adobe Suite.
Proficiency in AI tools (Midjourney, Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, etc)
Proficiency in Animation/Motion Graphics is a plus, but not mandatory.
Leadership, Direction & Mentorship
You’ll set creative direction and give feedback on smaller creative tasks to the Design and Jr. Creatives.
You’ll be comfortable line-managing/mentoring junior creative talent when the business need arises, guiding them to achieve great work and setting out clear goals for career progression

Essential Experience & Skills
