Job description

Graphic Designer

Hybrid (Manchester, 2 days per week) | £30,000

We don’t just run campaigns, we create moments people want to engage with.

Who We Are

At Leadly, we’re not here to be average, we’re here to win… together. We move fast, back each other and show up with the kind of energy that comes from people who genuinely care about doing great work. No egos, no corporate nonsense, no clock-watchers. Just a team of sharp, gritty, ambitious humans who want to build something special.

What We Value (the stuff CVs can’t really show)

We take the Sir Alex approach - talent gets you in the door, but character decides how far you go here.

• Resilience: Things move quickly here, and not every day is a 10/10. We want people who can take feedback, bounce back, and keep driving.
• Work Ethic: Not “work more hours” - but show up with pride in your craft. Bring your best. Own your outcomes.
• Hunger: You don’t need someone to light a fire under you. You’ve already got one.
• Discipline: Do what you say you’ll do. Keep standards high. Be someone the team can rely on.
• Loyalty + Team First: We grow people. We back each other. We win as a team and lose as a team.
• Instinct & Vision: We hire people who “get it.” People who can see around corners, spot opportunities and push us further.
• Humility: No big-heads, no divas. Success at Leadly is always a group effort.

What You Can Expect Here

You’ll join a team that genuinely cares, works hard, and has a laugh while doing it. We’re building big things - our own brands, our clients’ brands and a culture people actually want to be part of. You’ll have ownership, trust, support and the freedom to do the best work of your career (and grow faster than you thought you could).

What We’re Looking For

You’ll be the creative engine behind our campaigns, crafting assets that grab attention and elevate our clients’ digital presence.

• Design high-performing paid social ads that drive engagement and conversions
• Create visuals that showcase products, services, and offers with clarity and impact
• Collaborate with media buyers and marketing teams to bring campaign concepts to life
• Translate data insights and creative briefs into visuals that perform
• Keep up with design trends, platform updates, and emerging creative formats
• Ensure every design is on-brand, consistent, and ready to perform in-market

You’ll bring

• 3+ years’ experience as a Graphic Designer (agency or client-side)
• A strong portfolio showcasing paid social or digital campaign work
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, or similar)
• A creative mindset backed by commercial awareness — you design with intent
• Great attention to detail and a solid understanding of layout, colour, and typography
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines
• A curiosity for testing, learning, and improving creative performance
• (Experience designing for automotive or finance brands is a big advantage, but not essential.)
