Freelance Senior Designer & Art Director
HybridLondon, England, United Kingdom
Job Summary
Own the visual quality and creative standard of everything the Creator Studio produces, art directing influencer shoots and creator productions while designing paid social creative across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and emerging platforms. Manage and mentor a small team of editors, designers, and freelance creatives, overseeing resourcing, timelines, and delivery across multiple live projects. Partner with Influencer, Paid Social, and Client Services teams to ensure creative is strategically sharp and commercially effective, presenting concepts and rationale to clients. Build agency-facing collateral including podcast content, industry reports, and pitch decks. Work closely with the Head of Creative to maintain a best-in-class visual standard that drives real client performance.
Required Qualifications
- A portfolio that proves strong visual thinking across formats, not just one channel
- Real experience creating for social-first platforms - Meta, TikTok, YouTube - and knowing what actually performs there
- Experience art directing shoots: creators, photographers, production teams
- Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
- A track record managing creative projects end to end, from brief through delivery
- Experience leading or mentoring a creative team
Desired Qualifications
- Motion design and video editing chops
- Background in influencer marketing, the creator economy or performance marketing
- Experience with consumer brands in FMCG, beauty, lifestyle, fashion or luxury
- If you're already using AI to work smarter, even better
- We're looking for people who use AI to sharpen their work - not replace their thinking
- You don't need to be an AI specialist. You need to be curious enough to already be finding ways to use it: faster workflows, sharper insight, better creative options, smarter decisions
- We want people who ask "how can this be better?" and treat AI as a tool to elevate the craft, not a shortcut around it
- Curious, ambitious people who challenge how things are done, bring fresh ideas, and help shape the future of marketing
- Smart, humble, proactive, genuinely curious
- People who care about their craft without taking themselves too seriously
- We build brave ideas, keep learning constant, and make sure everyone's voice counts
- Part creative leader, part maker - you'll shape direction at a high level and still be at the desk producing exceptional creative every day
- You'll work closely with Influencer, Paid Social and Client Services to make sure creative is strategically sharp, commercially effective, and never just "nice to look at"
