- Turn briefs into standout campaigns across social media, paid ads, email, e-commerce and in-store marketing. You'll own the process from design to execution and reporting - working at pace, taking initiative and keeping every touchpoint on brand.
Duties and responsibilities: Design the work:
- Design the majority of the content yourself — social posts, paid ad creative, email templates, website and Shopify banners, in-store support material, promotional artwork.
- Work in Adobe Creative Suite for the heavier design work and Canva for fast-turnaround and template-based assets.
- Keep everything on brand and consistent across channels.
Run campaigns end to end
- Roll a single campaign out across all its touchpoints — organic social, paid assets, email, website and Shopify, in store where needed.
- Own launches and promotions from asset creation to live, including the sequencing of what goes out when.
Paid media
- Build, load and optimise paid campaigns, mainly Meta and TikTok.
- Manage audiences, budgets and creative testing at a working level.
- Report on spend, reach, engagement and sales impact in plain numbers, with a view on what to change next.
Email and e-commerce
- Build and send campaigns in Klaviyo — design, copy layout, segmentation, scheduling and results.
- Update Shopify — products, collections, banners, landing pages and promotional mechanics.
Influencers and creators
- Brief influencers and creators against the campaign, send through product and messaging, and chase delivery.
- Collect the content back and repurpose it into paid and organic assets.
Run your own traffic
- Take briefs, log them, and manage them through to delivery.
- Hold your own deadline list and flag clashes early. Nobody will be trafficking jobs on your behalf.
- Keep everyone updated on what is in progress, what is landing when, and what is at risk.
Requirements
- Strong graphic design ability, with a portfolio of digital-first work. Adobe Creative Suite and Canva.
- Hands-on digital marketing and social media experience.
- Shopify or an equivalent e-commerce platform.
- Klaviyo or a comparable email platform, with campaign build and reporting experience.
- Practical paid media experience on Meta and TikTok, including basic reporting.
- Able to work at speed across several brands and deadlines at once, and hold quality while doing it.
Nice to have
- Video editing and short-form content for TikTok and Reels.
- Experience working across more than one brand or market.
- Retail, beauty, fragrance or FMCG background.
