Job description

We are looking for a Design Lead to lead our design and video team, drive the visual direction across social media projects and ensure consistently high quality creative output. The role will involve managing a team of graphic designers and video editors while working closely with the creative, social and production teams to take ideas from concept to final execution.

• Lead, mentor, and manage the team of designers and video editors, including work allocation, reviews, and performance.
• Set the visual and creative direction across social content, campaigns, pitches, and brand deliverables.
• Ensure all creative output is high quality, on brand, on brief and aligned with social first best practices.
• Translate creative briefs and campaign ideas into strong visual, motion and video executions.
• Work closely with the production team on shoot planning, asset requirements, post-shoot deliverables and timelines.
• Oversee the post production process, ensuring shoot footage and assets are efficiently turned into final social ready content.
• Collaborate with creative, social, strategy and production teams to ensure smooth execution across multiple accounts.
• Manage creative workflows, timelines, priorities and capacity to ensure timely delivery without compromising quality.
• Build processes and systems that improve the team's creative quality, efficiency, and overall output.

Qualifications

• 6-8 years of experience in design, social media, digital, advertising or a similar creative environment.
• Strong portfolio across social media, branding, static, motion and video content.
• Prior experience managing and mentoring designers and video editors.
• Strong understanding of design, typography, visual storytelling, motion, and social-first content.
• Excellent creative, communication, organisational, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to manage multiple accounts, tight timelines, and high volume creative output.
• Hands on approach with a strong eye for detail and a high bar for creative quality.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects) and/or Figma, CapCut, DaVinci Resolve.
• Basic knowledge of motion graphics / 2D animation.
• Familiarity with AI creative tools (Midjourney, Runway, generative design/edit tools).

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Lead creative talent across design and video.
• Shape visual direction for multiple brands and campaigns.
• Work end-to-end from shoots to final content.
• Create social-first work that sets the creative bar.

If you're ready to lead creative, shape what's next in social and build work that people remember, we'd love to have you on board.
