Job description

LOCATION: London (Central), 4 Days In Office (Tuesday - Friday), 1 Day WFH (Monday)

CONTRACT: Full-time, permanent

WEBSITE: https://growthcurve.co

Ad agencies are dead. We're what comes next.

Growthcurve is the growth marketing agency founders, CMOs and investors call when they need to scale fast. Strategy, media and creative under one roof, with an in-house studio and AI built into how we work. We've supported companies spending over $100M a month on paid ads, for brands like Coinbase, AliExpress, Midnite and Finom.

We're hiring a Junior Creative, Art Director: a visual thinker who lives on the internet and wants to make work that stops the scroll and drives real results.

THE ROLE

Our clients increasingly trust us with all of their creative, not just their performance marketing. You'll work in a creative pair with a copywriter, across paid social, short-form video, landing pages, campaign concepts and brand visuals, developed by our senior creative and strategy teams and making real work from day one.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Make visual creative that feels made for each platform: paid social, short-form video, statics, carousels, landing pages and campaign assets
• Bring references, ideas and visual territories to concepting sessions
• Turn briefs into scroll-stopping concepts that balance culture with performance
• Build storyboards, mood boards and art direction references for shoots and production
• Make fast-turn content yourself (statics, quick edits, rough cuts) to test ideas quickly
• Use AI image and video tools to explore and produce ideas faster
• Act on feedback quickly and iterate with purpose

WHO YOU ARE

• 2-3 years in art direction, design or a visual creative role at an agency, with a portfolio of real work for real clients
• Strong visual instincts (composition, type, pacing, colour, motion) and you can say why something works
• Fluent in how visuals behave on TikTok, Meta and YouTube, and you can tell authentic from try-hard
• Culturally switched on: you spot aesthetics and trends early
• You make work for performance as well as brand: great creative has to work, not just look good
• Low-ego and collaborative: you make the work better, not the room harder

BONUS POINTS

• Paid social or direct response creative experience
• Any motion or animation skills

OUR CULTURE

• Bias for Action: We launch, learn and iterate. Waiting for "perfect" is not our culture
• Relentlessly Data-Driven: Every decision is grounded in data. We measure everything
• Global by Default: We think globally and operate at the cutting edge of every market
• AI-First: We are building the first truly AI-first growth agency
• Excellence Only: Our clients are the world's most ambitious companies. Our output matches.

BENEFITS

• Private medical insurance
• Access to a gym and wellness classes
• WFH every Monday
• Access to the latest premium AI tools & models
• Brand new Apple equipment
• High spec office, with hotel grade amenities (kitchens, showers, bicycle parking, cafe)
• Free premium coffee, tea and a fully stocked snack cupboard and drinks fridge
• Access to masterclasses, industry events, and learning budgets
• Direct access to founders, C-levels, and hypergrowth operators
• Clear progression path and opportunities to lead new initiatives
