Job description

Share your talents

At Rituals, we believe in transforming everyday routines into more meaningful moments. We are a global wellbeing beauty brand with a strong creative identity and a growing digital presence. Social plays an important role in how we connect with our communities, tell our brand stories, and create content that feels relevant, inspiring, and culturally connected.

This is an exciting time to join Rituals, with strong momentum behind content, creativity, and social-first storytelling.

About the Department

You will join the Content & Design Studio, a Rituals creative and channel focused team. The studio plays an important role in bringing the Rituals brand to life across channels through planning, copy, design, print, translations, operations, and platform-related expertise.

The team consists of around 45-50 colleagues, alongside freelancers and agency support. It is a highly collaborative and creative environment with strong momentum, growing impact, and an important role within the wider business.

About the Team

Within the Content & Design Studio, you will be part of the Social Creative Team, focused on creating engaging, organic social content for Rituals' platforms, primarily Instagram, with a growing presence on TikTok, and occasional support for Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook.

This is a key hire for the team. We are looking for someone who can strengthen our social creative output and help shape the future way of working.

You will work closely alongside the Social Marketing team, wider studio colleagues, and cross-functional partners. It is a fast-paced and collaborative environment where creativity, ownership, and platform instinct are essential.

About the Role

We are looking for a social-first creative who lives and breathes social media, with strength in Instagram design, motion, and video, and the versatility to also create for TikTok. Someone who understands what makes content work across static, carousel, Reels, and short-form video formats, and who can translate brand and campaign assets into platform-native content that feels fresh, relevant, and on-brand.

This is a hands-on, all-around creative role.

• Approximately 50% graphic design
• 10% motion design
• 20% video editing
• 20% iPhone content capture

You will work on a mix of planned and reactive projects:

• Around 80% of the work is planned content for the social calendar
• Around 20% of the work is more ad hoc, fast-turnaround content responding to trends or business needs

Key Responsibilities

You’ll play a key role in creating engaging, social-first content that brings the Rituals brand to life with Instagram as your primary focus and TikTok as an important secondary channel. Occasional briefs may also extend to Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Working closely with the wider Content & Design Studio, you’ll combine creativity with platform expertise to develop content that resonates with our community and supports our social ambitions.

• Create engaging, platform-native content for Instagram, including static posts, carousels, Reels, and other evolving formats.
• Edit and adapt short-form video content for TikTok, bringing native sound, pacing, and trend fluency to each execution.
• Shoot ad hoc, social-first content on iPhone to support fast-turnaround Instagram and TikTok needs.
• Transform campaign assets, pack shots, and existing brand materials into fresh, compelling social content using motion graphics, animation, and editing techniques to bring static assets to life.
• Apply a mixed-media approach and make strong creative decisions around typography, layout, pacing, image selection, and visual storytelling, staying on top of social trends and platform behaviors to ensure content feels relevant, authentic, and native to each channel.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams, confidently managing feedback, explaining creative decisions, and balancing different perspectives.
• Help shape and grow the Social function within the broader Content & Design Studio by contributing new ideas and continuously raising the creative standard.
• Occasionally support content creation and adaptation for additional channels such as Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Facebook, as briefs require.

Bring all of you

We are looking for someone who combines strong craft skills with real platform instinct.

You bring:

• 5+ years of relevant experience in a design, social creative, or content creation role
• Strong graphic design and motion design skills - this is a core part of the role
• Experience creating content specifically for organic social media with strong understanding of Instagram, including trends, formats, pacing, and audience expectations, along with knowledge of TikTok
• Experience with video editing for short-form social content
• Experience shooting content on iPhone for social-first, fast-turnaround use
• The ability to create content that feels platform-native, while staying true to the Rituals brand
• A proactive, hands-on mindset and the confidence to work increasingly independently
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with different stakeholders
• A good eye for visual storytelling, composition, hierarchy, and detail
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment with both planned and reactive work
