We were recently featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal — read the article here.

The Role

We’re looking for a fast, detail-driven Intermediate Graphic Designer to join our HQ Marketing team. You’ll sit at the intersection of creative, data, and growth — working directly with country marketers and performance marketers to ship and iterate on high-performing ad creative at speed.

This role is all about testing and learning. You’ll be producing and localising digital assets across channels (paid, email, landing pages, social), using performance data to rapidly optimise what you make. You’ll also tap into the latest AI tools to move faster, explore new creative directions, and push what’s possible with a lean team.

For the right candidate, this is a launchpad role — with a clear path to grow into a senior design position or develop deep specialisation in performance creative.

What are the main responsibilities for this role?

• Collaborate daily with Country Marketers and Performance Marketing to create and optimise paid ad creative.
• Rapidly design, iterate, and localise campaign assets across formats — static, motion, carousel, landing pages, email, and social.
• Use global brand systems to move quickly, while adapting creatively to local needs.
• Collaborate with performance marketers and proactively revise creative to improve CTR, CVR, and ROAS.
• Use AI tools to streamline design workflows and accelerate asset delivery.
• Maintain a high output of creative — fast, but always on-brand and high quality.

What skills and experience are required?

1–3 years of graphic design experience in a fast-paced marketing or creative team.

A portfolio that shows clean, effective digital campaign work — especially paid ads.

Proficiency in Canva, Figma and Adobe Creative Suite.

An interest in performance design — you want your work to drive results, not just look good.

Comfort using AI tools or a strong willingness to adopt them into your workflow.

Great time management, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to juggle multiple campaigns at once.

What Success Looks Like

Campaign creative is turned around fast and on brand — with a strong impact on ad performance.

Country marketers and performance teams see you as a trusted, responsive creative partner.

You build a deep understanding of what works creatively in different markets.

You grow rapidly in skill, speed, and confidence — with a clear path toward senior design roles.

Why work for Crimson?

• Rapidly growing start up, with a flexible working environment where you will be empowered to structure how you work
• Limitless development and exposure - our internal promotions / role changes made up 33% of all recruitment last year
• 1000 individual training budget per year, we love to ‘Level Up’ (it’s one of our core values)!
