Job summary

Temple & Webster is seeking a Creative – Social Performance to help build a new, AI-enabled creative model across social and digital formats. You’ll craft hooks, short-form video, carousels, and product stories while testing ideas, refining concepts and pushing for performance with strong taste and impact.

You’ll work across formats, using AI tools to generate concepts and outputs, then apply judgment to ensure work is distinctive, on-brand and compelling for our audience in a fast-moving online

Qualifications

• Portfolio showing strong creative thinking and well-crafted digital, social, advertising or design work.
• Experience creating performance or social creative in an agency, in-house team, studio or growth environment.
• Strong visual judgment across typography, composition, hierarchy and storytelling.
• An instinct for hooks, cultural behaviour and what makes people pay attention online.
• Hands-on capability across relevant design, editing or motion tools.
• Practical experience with generative AI, or enough curiosity and creative confidence to become very good at it very quickly.
• Comfort using creative performance data to generate new hypotheses and ideas.
• A collaborative mindset, low ego and willingness to make, learn, change and go again.

Responsibilities

• Come up with ideas. Find interesting, distinctive and persuasive ways to make people stop, look, click, discover and reconsider.
• Make the work. Concept, write, design, prompt, edit, retouch, animate and refine ideas into finished creative.
• Obsess over the opening. Develop hooks and first moments that earn attention rather than assuming it.
• Create diversity, not duplication. Explore genuinely different ideas, formats, audiences and messages rather than producing 20 near-identical versions of one asset.
• Use AI as a creative amplifier. Translate ideas into prompts and workflows across image, video and copy generation, then apply human judgment and craft to make the outputs better.
• Learn from the audience. See how creative performs in market, understand what people are responding to and turn those signals into the next round of ideas.
• Work quickly without making disposable work. Operate in short creative cycles where making, learning and improving happen continuously.
• Protect the brand. Work with our Performance Creative Squad Lead and Creative Director to create social work that performs while still feeling distinctive, considered and unmistakably Temple & Webster.

Job description

About Temple & Webster

At Temple & Webster, we believe everyone deserves a home they love.

We’re Australia’s leading online destination for furniture and homewares, with an enormous range, a fast-growing brand and millions of opportunities to inspire people to see their homes differently.

We’re also changing the way we make creative for a new media environment. The old model asked creatives to choose between craft and speed, ideas and optimisation, quality and quantity.

We don’t think you should have to.

We’re building a new creative model where great ideas, strong taste, data and emerging technology work together, giving talented creatives more ways to make, experiment and bring ideas to life.

We’re looking for a Creative – Social Performance to help us build it.

The Opportunity

This role is for someone who loves making advertising that engages, motivates and influences behaviour.

You’re excited by the spark of an idea and equally obsessed with the details that make it land: the line, the crop, the pacing, the type, the visual surprise, the tiny edit that makes something suddenly feel right.

You know how to recognise a good idea.

You know when an idea isn’t there yet.

And you enjoy the process of constant creation. Testing, learning, optimising, pushing the work to find the next winner.

You’ll work across social and digital creative, developing everything from hooks and short-form video to statics, carousels, product stories and entirely new formats we haven’t thought of yet.

You’ll also get access to an increasingly powerful creative AI toolkit. AI image generation. Video generation. Prompting. Motion. Editing. Automation. Rapid prototyping.

Technology is the lever that delivers scale, but it’s your thinking that will make the work creative.
You are.
Fluent in how to get the best out of AI technology. But it’s your judgment, taste and imagination are what turn those tools into work people actually want to look at.

What You’ll Do

• Come up with ideas. Find interesting, distinctive and persuasive ways to make people stop, look, click, discover and reconsider.
• Make the work. Concept, write, design, prompt, edit, retouch, animate and refine ideas into finished creative.
• Obsess over the opening. Develop hooks and first moments that earn attention rather than assuming it.
• Create diversity, not duplication. Explore genuinely different ideas, formats, audiences and messages rather than producing 20 near-identical versions of one asset.
• Use AI as a creative amplifier. Translate ideas into prompts and workflows across image, video and copy generation, then apply human judgment and craft to make the outputs better.
• Learn from the audience. See how creative performs in market, understand what people are responding to and turn those signals into the next round of ideas.
• Work quickly without making disposable work. Operate in short creative cycles where making, learning and improving happen continuously.
• Protect the brand. Work with our Performance Creative Squad Lead and Creative Director to create social work that performs while still feeling distinctive, considered and unmistakably Temple & Webster.

You’ll Probably Love This Role If…

You save social ads, films, designs, TikToks, imagery and random internet things because there’s something interesting in that.

You have opinions about layouts and design aesthetics.

You’re curious about new technology but don’t confuse novelty with an idea.
You want to know whether your creative actually worked.

You like having constraints because they give you something to push against.
You enjoy making beautiful things, but you’re equally intrigued by the challenge of creating 20 genuinely different creative routes.

You’d rather test an interesting idea than spend three weeks discussing whether it might work.

What We’re Looking For

• A portfolio showing strong creative thinking and well-crafted digital, social, advertising or design work.
• Experience creating performance or social creative in an agency, in-house team, studio or growth environment.
• Strong visual judgment across typography, composition, hierarchy and storytelling.
• An instinct for hooks, cultural behaviour and what makes people pay attention online.
• Hands-on capability across relevant design, editing or motion tools.
• Practical experience with generative AI, or enough curiosity and creative confidence to become very good at it very quickly.
• Comfort using creative performance data to generate new hypotheses and ideas.
• A collaborative mindset, low ego and willingness to make, learn, change and go again.

Why Temple & Webster?

Because you’ll get something creatives don’t always get: volume, feedback and freedom.
You’ll make a lot of work.
Millions of people will see it.
You’ll find out what resonates.
And you’ll get another opportunity to make it better.

You’ll also have:

• Exclusive Discounts: Generous employee discounts across our furniture and homewares range.
• Hybrid Working: A mix of working from home and our St Peters HQ.
• Lunch & Coffee On Us: Catered lunches three days a week and subsidised barista coffee.
• Celebrate You: Paid leave on your birthday.
• Family Support: Access to paid parental leave.
• Mindful Moments: Free daily mindfulness practices in our dedicated wellness room.
• Culture & Community: Team socials, celebrations through our Ministry of Fun and volunteer leave supporting our charity partners.

We’d love to see what you’ve made — but we’re just as interested in how you think.
