We’re looking for a Social-First Graphic Designer who can bring ideas to life through strong visual storytelling, animation and motion-led content. This is not a traditional graphic design role. We’re looking for someone who understands how people consume content on social and can create scroll-stopping, platform-native content across static, animated and video formats.

What You’ll Be Doing

Social-First Creative

• Social-First Concepting: Develop creative concepts and content ideas specifically designed for social platforms and their audiences.
• Scroll-Stopping Content: Create engaging, visually strong content across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and other platforms.
• Platform & Trend Awareness: Adapt creative to platform formats, behaviours and trends, creating content that feels native rather than repurposed.

Graphic Design & Visual Content

• Design: Create high-quality static and animated digital assets across social, campaigns, presentations and branded content.
• Brand: Develop fresh visual concepts that align with client brand guidelines and creative direction.
• Adapt: Resize, adapt and maintain visual consistency across platforms and formats while pushing creative boundaries.

Animation & Motion Design

• Animate: Bring static designs to life through animation, motion graphics, transitions and effects.
• Create & Edit: Produce animated social content, GIFs, Reels and short-form video with strong visual storytelling.
• Innovate: Stay ahead of emerging animation techniques, formats and tools to keep content fresh and engaging.

Creative Collaboration

• Collaborate: Bring a strong visual and motion perspective to pitches, proposals and campaign concepts. Support wider company initiatives and campaigns with creative and content requirements.
• Contribute: Actively participate in creative brainstorming and identify opportunities to make content more engaging.
• Communicate: Work with clients and internal teams to understand briefs, incorporate feedback and deliver creative solutions.

Multimedia Production

• Produce, edit and curate visual content including photography, graphics, video, animation and GIFs.
• Repurpose and adapt existing assets into multiple social-first formats.
• Ensure all content is delivered to a high creative and technical standard.

Tools & Technology

You’ll be expected to be highly comfortable working across a range of creative and digital tools, including:

• Canva for fast-paced digital content and presentations and collaboration.
• Adobe Creative Suite - particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects.
• Frame.io for creative review and collaboration.
• Dropbox and Google Drive for asset management and storage.
• AI and emerging creative technologies like Firefly, Midjourney, Runway, ChatGPT

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years’ graphic design experience with a strong portfolio showcasing social-first design, animation, motion graphics and video content.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects, plus strong experience with Canva, CapCut and other social content tools.
• Strong understanding of social platforms and trends, with the ability to create engaging, platform-native content for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and other channels.
• Strong creative and conceptual thinking, with the ability to take a brief from initial idea through to final execution while maintaining brand consistency and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication, organisation and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Proactive, collaborative and adaptable, with a genuine interest in emerging creative technologies, AI, trends and new ways of working.
