Job description

Location: Elephant & Castle, London (Hybrid – 2 days per week)

Salary: Up to £38,000

Start: ASAP

I'm partnering with a growing digital marketing agency to recruit a Senior Graphic Designer who combines exceptional creative execution with a strong understanding of performance marketing.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative agency environment where you'll take ownership of creative across a diverse portfolio of DTC and consumer brands, working closely with performance marketers, strategists and clients to deliver campaigns that drive measurable results.

The role will involve:

• Leading the creative direction across multiple client accounts
• Designing high-performing paid social creative, display assets, landing pages and digital campaign materials
• Developing creative concepts and experimentation frameworks informed by performance data
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver commercially effective campaigns
• Mentoring junior and midweight designers while helping to raise the creative standard across the agency
• Exploring AI-powered workflows to enhance creative output and efficiency

We're looking for someone who has:

• 4+ years' experience within a digital marketing or creative agency
• A portfolio demonstrating strategic thinking alongside outstanding visual execution
• Strong experience creating performance-led creative for paid social channels including Meta and TikTok
• Expert knowledge of Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• Experience working with DTC brands and growth-focused marketing teams
• Confidence presenting ideas to clients and explaining the rationale behind creative decisions
• A genuine passion for digital culture, emerging creative trends and performance marketing

What will make your application stand out?

One piece of feedback from the hiring manager stood out immediately, and I think it's worth sharing with anyone applying for performance-focused design roles.

Your portfolio will be the deciding factor.

Not because they're looking for the most visually impressive work, but because they want to understand how you think as a designer.

A strong portfolio should go beyond showcasing finished creative. It should clearly communicate:

• The brief and objectives
• Your creative thinking and approach
• The rationale behind your design decisions
• The commercial or performance results
• What you learnt and how those insights influenced future work

Please note:

• Hybrid working – 2 days per week in the London office (Elephant & Castle)
• Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
