Job description

This is an opportunity to lead social creativity at its boldest.

An independent creative agency built for today’s world, this team believes brands have the power to shape culture — and that social is where that impact truly happens. They tell stories that move people and create ideas that travel across platforms, conversations and continents.

Now, they’re looking for a Social Creative Lead to take the reins on the global social presence of one of the world’s most recognised consumer brands.

You’ll own the creative direction across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn — driving the ideas, tone and craft that define how this brand shows up in people’s feeds.

What you’ll be up to:

• Lead creative thinking and content output across global social channels — from bold campaigns to everyday storytelling.
• Shape and evolve a content strategy that balances engagement, growth and cultural impact.
• Oversee the creative process end-to-end: concepting, directing shoots, writing copy, and getting hands-on where needed.
• Partner with creators, editors, and designers to deliver scroll-stopping work across every format — from film and motion to GIFs and interactive.
• Champion creative excellence: content that earns attention, sparks conversation and makes a measurable impact.
• Collaborate closely with strategy, analytics and account teams to turn insights into new ideas and formats.
• Mentor junior team members and help shape the agency’s growing social capability.

Your Profile:

You’re a social-native creative who sees platforms as playgrounds, not channels. You understand how to make work that people actually want to engage with — and you’ve done it for major brands.

You combine instinct and insight. You know what stops thumbs and starts conversations.

You’re as confident in building a TikTok treatment as you are in presenting a global creative strategy.

You’re culturally tuned in, restless, and always learning — the kind of person who knows the next trend before it trends. You bring order to the chaos of content calendars, have a strong visual eye, and take pride in ideas that move people and metrics alike.

Above all, you care about craft, clarity and impact — creating work that connects, not just performs.

Why this role:

This is an opportunity to shape the social heart of a global brand within an ambitious, independent agency where creative voices are truly heard.

If you believe in work that earns attention and builds meaning — and want to help define what great social creativity looks like today — this could be your next big move.
