Job Description

Are you the kind of creative who sees a trending moment and immediately thinks, How can we make this bigger, better, and on-brand? Do you live and breathe social media, spotting design trends before they take off? If you’re a hands-on visual thinker who knows how to turn insights into scroll-stopping content, this role is for you. What You’ll Do: ● Create with Purpose – Design bold, eye-catching, and platform-native content that makes people stop, watch, and engage. ● Turn Data into Design – Work closely with the insights team to interpret social trends and audience behavior, transforming them into smart, creative work. ● Mentor & Guide – Lead and inspire junior designers, helping them level up their craft and conceptual thinking. ● Be Hands-On – Whether it’s capturing content on the go, editing in real time, or hacking a tiny budget into a big idea, you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty. ● Engage in Social Listening – Stay ahead of visual trends, memes, and cultural moments to ensure our content is always fresh and relevant. ● Think Beyond the Post – Conceptualise and execute campaigns, activations, and reactive content that push the boundaries of social creativity. ● Collaborate & Execute – Work closely with copywriters, strategists, and community managers to bring ideas to life in the most impactful way. What You Bring: ● 5+ years of experience in social-first design, motion, or art direction. ● A portfolio packed with clever, high-impact social content. ● A deep understanding of different platforms and what works visually on each. ● The ability to balance quick-turn reactive content with high-concept creative work. ● A passion for social media—you're always online, always absorbing, and always experimenting. ● Experience mentoring and leading junior designers. ● A resourceful, “make it happen” attitude—no budget, no problem. ● Strong skills in Adobe Creative Suite (bonus points for motion and video editing skills). ● A sharp eye for aesthetics, composition, and storytelling in a social-first world. Why Join Us? We’re a team that thrives on creativity, speed, and impact. If you’re obsessed with internet culture, love to create, and aren’t afraid to jump in and make things happen, we’d love to have you. Ready to design the future of social? Let’s do this.
