Senior Social Designer – 12 month FTC

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential marketing agency on a 12-month fixed-term contract for a Senior Social Designer based in London. This is a senior, hands-on design role in a high-volume social studio, working on accounts for consumer brands. You'll be responsible for the quality and consistency of visual output across always-on and campaign work—balancing strong creative thinking with efficient delivery.

In this role, you will:

• Create high-quality visual content across static assets, motion graphics, and short-form video design support—including titles, overlays, and transitions
• Ensure all design work is platform-optimised for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and other relevant channels—on-brand, consistent, and ready to publish
• Work closely with Content Creators to bring concepts to life visually and enhance content through considered design
• Produce assets at pace across always-on content, campaign activations, and reactive or trending content opportunities
• Create and maintain templates, layout systems, and modular design assets that enable content to be adapted quickly, localised across markets, and repurposed across formats
• Adapt visual content for different markets, ensuring visual consistency, cultural relevance, and formatting and language accuracy
• Work with Data and Social teams to understand which visual approaches perform best, and use engagement signals to inform layout, format, and creative decisions
• Partner closely with creative leads, strategists, and social media managers to ensure all work aligns with strategy, meets deadlines, and passes brand, legal, and compliance approval processes
• Manage project-level production budgets including cost estimation, purchase orders, invoicing, and reconciliation
• Source and negotiate rates with freelancers and production partners as needed, driving cost efficiency without compromising quality

The role is hybrid, requiring 2–3 days per week in the London office. Our client supports flexible working arrangements and offers reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a designer with strong capability across static and motion formats, with a portfolio demonstrating high-quality social-first work. The ideal candidate will have:

• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro), CapCut, Canva, Figma, or equivalent tools
• Deep understanding of platform design best practices and what drives visual engagement across key social channels
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple design projects simultaneously, delivering consistently strong work at pace and under time pressure
• Experience building and maintaining design systems, templates, and modular asset libraries that enable efficient, high-volume production
• Background in high-volume, always-on content environments—agency, in-house, or embedded studio
• Experience delivering social design for consumer brands, with FMCG background an advantage
• Familiarity with multi-stakeholder environments involving strategy, social, data, and client teams
• Experience managing project-level production budgets, including cost estimation, supplier negotiation, purchase orders, and reconciliation
• Advanced use of AI tools relevant to social design—including tools that support ideation, asset generation, content variation, and production workflow optimisation
• Ability to train others on responsible and effective use of AI tools within a design context
• Strong understanding of AI capabilities and limitations, with rigorous human oversight applied to all AI-assisted outputs

Preferred but not required:

• Experience working across multiple markets or languages, or in embedded in-house or studio environments
• Familiarity with paid social design requirements—safe zones, format variants, and performance testing
• Experience designing for creator or influencer-led content
• Experience building design systems or localisation frameworks at studio level

Formal qualifications are welcome but not required. Equivalent experience counts, whether gained through work, study, volunteering, or self-directed learning.
