Job description

About Uncovered

Uncovered is a London based social first creative agency founded in 2017.

Social sits at the heart of everything that we do.

From strategy to production, our team is fluent in social language with a deep understanding of the online audience. Working with a diverse set of brands to understand their distinct identity and objectives, we apply social-first fundamentals for success: real world, real people, video-first.

We create at the speed of social; strategising, ideating, designing, and producing through our team of in-house strategists, creatives, art directors, copywriters, producers, editors, and videographers. We test, learn, and iterate in real time, delivering end-to-end solutions from creative strategy, through to reporting and analytics.

Our Uncovered office is a home to learn, grow and make a difference.

The Role

We’re looking for a visionary and hands-on Associate Creative Director to help lead our creative output across key accounts. You’ll play a central role in shaping bold, social-first brand worlds and guiding the creative team in delivering culturally relevant, high-performing campaigns from concept through to execution.

This role blends creative leadership with strategic thinking — ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, brings big ideas to life, and is passionate about elevating brands in the social space.

You’ll work closely with our Creative Directors, as well as our in-house production and strategy teams, and contribute to scaling our creative function as we grow.

Responsibilities

• Support the development and execution of social-first campaigns that align with brand strategy and client objectives.
• Help steer the creative direction across retained and project-based work, ensuring storytelling, craft and performance at the core.
• Collaborate with clients to present ideas, take on feedback, and help build strong creative partnerships.
• Direct shoots and guide production teams to ensure the creative vision is executed with clarity and impact.
• Work closely with strategy, production, and post teams to deliver high-quality, insight-driven work.
• Mentor junior creatives, contributing to a high-performing, collaborative and inclusive team culture.
• Play an active role in internal creative processes and support new business initiatives where needed.

Skills

• A standout portfolio showcasing social-first, brand-led creative work — especially across video, digital and campaign storytelling.
• A deep understanding of social platforms, trends, and audience behaviours, with an instinct for what resonates and performs.
• Strong conceptual thinker with experience developing and presenting ideas clearly and confidently.
• Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and contribute to a productive and inspiring creative workflow.
• Confident communicator with solid client-facing experience.
• Proficiency in Google Workspace, particularly Slides; and Adobe Creative Suite.
• Culturally curious, with an eye for emerging trends, talent, and ideas that move fast in the social space.

Benefits:

• Hybrid and Flexible working (Monday & Friday work from home)
• Free Breakfast, Snacks & Drinks
• Pension Scheme
• Friday 3pm Finish
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• SPILL Therapy Support
• Monthly Wellness Fund
• Eye Care Allowance
• £500 Referral Scheme
