Job description

Motion person? Designer? Bit of both? Perfect.

We’re looking for a brilliant Midweight Designer to join the creative team at Jam – someone who can make things move, make things look beautiful and bring a great idea to life across pretty much any channel.

This is a genuinely varied creative role. Around 60% social, motion and video editing, 40% branding, campaigns and wider design.

So one day you could be cutting a Reel, animating a social campaign or creating something reactive. The next, you could be developing a brand identity, working up a big campaign concept or making a pitch look ridiculously good.

No pigeonholes here.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll get stuck into:

• Motion graphics and animation
• Video editing and social-first creative
• Branding and visual identities
• Creative concepts and integrated campaigns
• Digital, print and presentation design
• Pitches and new business
• The occasional content shoot
• Plenty of brainstorms, ideas and creative problem-solving

You’ll work closely with our Social Media team and Senior Content Creator on social work, so you don’t need to be a social strategist. But you do need to understand the platforms you’re designing for and know how to make content feel at home there.

“From conceptual planning to on-location directing, I craft content across diverse industries. There’s nothing more rewarding than collaborating with the team to bring our visions to life”

Liam Moran Content Creative

You’ll need to be seriously good with...

And, most importantly, you’ll have a portfolio that shows you can do both: great motion/video and beautifully crafted design.

We’re looking for around 3–5 years’ agency experience, loads of ideas and someone who’s reached the point where they can take a brief and run with it – not wait to be told what every frame should look like.

A bit about us

Jam is an integrated agency in Manchester, bringing together social, PR, digital PR, content, creative, brand and web.

We’re Humble, Hungry and Smart, we care a lot about producing great work, and we like working with people who bring ideas, energy and a point of view.

And because life at an agency should be fun too…

• We’re dog friendly
• You’ll get £1,500 a year to spend on training and development
• We do regular socials – darts, go-karting, nights out and plenty more
• We work hybrid
• And there’s loads of opportunity to develop your craft and progress

If you’re a designer who loves making things move – but doesn’t want to give up the branding, campaigns and big creative ideas – we’d love to see your work.
