About Substance Global

We are a London-based creative agency with a sharp focus on design-led marketing solutions. For over 20 years, we’ve combined strategic insight with bold creative to help brands stand out and connect.

Our team is split between London, Los Angeles, and Buenos Aires, we specialise in two core areas: entertainment and pharma/B2B. Whether launching a global film campaign or elevating complex healthcare messaging, we tailor every project through a collaborative, insight-driven approach that delivers impact across media.

We’re looking to grow our small Pharma focused team with a talented mid-weight designer bursting with strong graphic and motion design skills. You'll work across a range of predominately social media projects — from static social posts to scroll stopping videos.

At Substance, you’ll collaborate with a passionate, friendly team and have room to grow, flex your creativity, and work on everything from sub-branding, campaigns to social content. With this role you’ll hone your design skills and be on the pathway to becoming a Senior Designer.

What you’ll do:

• Design standout social content - on brand - for our clients: bringing a good eye for typography, design, pacing, and composition.
• Briefs are fairly open, with room for you to bring good creative ideas to projects.
• Bigger projects would require you to storyboard before bringing to life.
• Present your work with confidence and respond thoughtfully to feedback.
• Simplify complex messages through smart, compelling designs.
• Collaborate with copywriters, producers, and account teams.
• Stay on top of social trends, AI trends, Design and branding trends and bring fresh, creative ideas to the table.

Core expertise:

• Core software: After Effects and Illustrator (or Figma if you prefer).
• Secondary Software: Premiere Pro (light video editing), Photoshop (mostly for editing photos), Google Slides, Audition (for light audio editing).
• 3D skills would be welcomed (or ability to learn it), we use Blender.
• We use Slack, Asana, Box, and Google Meets for working together.
• Solid Motion skills, good sense of easing, pacing, and technical ability.
• Solid Design skills: typography, composition, layout, hierarchy, harmony, and balance.
• An understanding of marketing and clients needs in social media communications.

What’s in it for you:

In-office/Hybrid or Fully remote.

• Vitality Healthy care package
• Perkbox discount and points program.
• Access to Co-working spaces.
• LinkedIn Courses and time for training.
