The Role

• We’re looking for a creative partner who can design and strategise. You’ll own paid ad creative across static and video formats, shaping ideas from research through to execution.

• Translate campaign data and audience insights into creative ideas.
• Research competitor trends and emerging formats.
• Build, test, and iterate ad concepts to improve CTR, engagement, and conversion.
• Collaborate with performance marketing, copy, and brand teams to align messaging and visuals.
• Maintain a scalable asset library and ensure brand consistency.

What you'll bring:

• Proven experience designing for paid media (portfolio required).
• Skills across graphic + motion design (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, After Effects, etc.).
• Strong understanding of digital advertising and performance metrics.
• Ability to ideate strategically, not just execute briefs.
• Comfortable balancing speed, quality, and experimentation.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with dynamic creative optimisation and/or A/B testing.
• Familiarity with interactive or emerging ad formats.
• Background in performance-led businesses (e-commerce, fintech, apps, etc.)
