Job description

Location: Liverpool office / Hybrid / Remote for the right person

Role type: Full-time

We’re a performance, branding and growth marketing agency working with ambitious ecommerce brands.

We help brands grow through paid media, creative, web, CRO and CRM, all under one roof.

We’re not a traditional agency where design is produced in a silo and passed over with no context. Our creative team works closely with paid media, strategy, email and web to create stronger work, test faster and understand what is actually driving results.

We care about producing design that looks good, but more importantly, design that communicates clearly, builds trust and drives action.

The Role

We’re looking for a Midweight Conceptual Creative Designer who can produce high-quality work across paid social, email, presentations and wider brand assets. You’ll work across a range of ecommerce and growth brands, taking briefs and turning them into clear, polished and commercially effective creative.

The majority of the role will involve:

• Static paid social ads
• Email campaign and flow designs
• Client-facing decks and presentations
• Landing page and website assets
• Flyers, posters and print materials
• Brand and campaign assets
• Light motion and video support where needed

This is a great role for someone who enjoys variety, works well at pace and wants their design work to have a clear commercial purpose.

You’ll work closely with our Creative Strategists, Paid Media Managers, Email Team, Video Editors and Web Team to bring ideas to life across multiple channels.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing static ads for Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms
• Creating email designs for Klaviyo and Omnisend campaigns and flows
• Turning creative briefs into strong, clear and engaging visual concepts
• Building variations of successful ad concepts for ongoing testing
• Designing client decks, PDFs, presentations and pitch materials
• Creating landing page assets and supporting wider website design work
• Producing flyers, posters, event artwork and other print assets when needed
• Adapting creative for different formats, sizes and placements
• Keeping Figma files, templates and design systems organised
• Working across multiple brands while maintaining consistency
• Using performance feedback to improve future creative
• Supporting light motion design, animated text and basic video assets where useful
• Using AI tools to improve ideation, production speed and workflow efficiency
• Bringing new ideas to briefs rather than simply following instructions

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional graphic design experience
• A strong portfolio showcasing digital, social and brand work
• Experience using AI to conduct research, develop ideas and generate imagery
• Strong skills in Figma, InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator
• A good understanding of layout, typography, colour and visual hierarchy
• The ability to turn a rough brief into a clear and polished design
• Good judgement about what makes creative easy to understand quickly
• Strong attention to detail
• Good time management and organisational skills
• The ability to work quickly without letting quality slip
• Confidence handling multiple brands, projects and deadlines
• Someone who takes feedback well and does not take revisions personally
• A genuine interest in what makes design perform, not just how it looks

Extra Points For

• Ecommerce or DTC experience
• Agency experience
• Experience designing high volumes of paid social creative
• Experience building presentation decks and client-facing documents
• Basic motion graphics or animation skills
• Experience using After Effects, Premiere Pro or CapCut
• Knowledge of Meta and TikTok creative performance
• A good working knowledge of AI design and creative tools
• Experience building reusable templates and design systems

You’ll Probably Enjoy This Role If

• You like working across different brands and creative styles
• You enjoy turning ideas into polished visual work
• You can balance creativity with clear commercial goals
• You care about the small details
• You enjoy working closely with strategists and performance teams
• You are happy receiving feedback and improving work quickly
• You like fast-moving environments with plenty of variety
• You can work independently without disappearing for three days on one design
• You want to grow into a Senior Designer, Art Director or Creative Lead role

This Role Probably Isn’t for You If

• Your portfolio mainly features personal artwork or illustration, with little commercial work
• You care more about making something look artistic than making it clear
• You struggle with deadlines or managing several projects
• You need a fully detailed brief before you can begin
• You rely heavily on templates without adapting them properly
• You do not enjoy feedback or revision rounds
• You are uncomfortable working across multiple brands and visual styles
• You are not interested in why one creative performs better than another
• You are not open to using AI tools as part of your workflow
• You prefer long, slow projects to fast-moving commercial work

What You’ll Get

• £30,000–£40,000 salary depending on experience
• Hybrid working, with remote options for exceptional candidates
• Regular one-to-ones and performance reviews
• Bonus and progression opportunities
• The chance to work across a wide range of ecommerce and growth brands
• Access to performance feedback so you can understand how your creative is working
• A supportive, ambitious team without unnecessary corporate nonsense
• A clear route into Senior Designer, Art Director or Creative Lead positions
• Plenty of room to bring ideas, improve systems and help shape the agency’s creative output
• Quarterly team social events

Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a short paid design task using a supplied brief and brand assets.
