Designer

The role

As a Designer at We Are Social, you’ll be bringing to life impeccably-crafted, socially-led creative ideas across multiple platforms for some of the world’s biggest brands. 

You’re not just a pro with static layouts, but also well-versed in motion design, video editing, and probably even dabble in animation, illustration, or shooting your own stuff with either a phone or DSLR camera. 

You’ll work closely with a close-knit design team as well as creatives, editorial staff, and account management to output brilliant, impactful work at the speed of social. 

You’re a power user of pretty much everything Adobe Suite (like Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, Premiere Pro), but also always keeping up to date with social-first apps such as Capcut and cutting edge developments in new fields. 

Naturally, you’re across typography, colour theory, grids, and all that. And you’re ready to break the mold when necessary and work in various different graphic styles depending on the brand. 

You soak up design inspiration like a sponge and are keen to push visuals in new directions and be proactive and flexible in your work approach. 

You’re ready to do some of the best work of your career, and maybe win some awards.

Being a socially-led agency, you have the ability to be always-on, with a high level of versatility, and you’ll be able to flex your skills across multiple projects at a fast pace. 

You’ll have:

• At least 3 years experience in a digital, creative or social agency
• Proficiency in design for digital and, in particular, social media platforms
• A degree level education in graphic, digital or interactive design, 
  fine arts, illustration and/or other related design discipline
• Excellent knowledge of industry standard software such as Adobe Creative Suite.
• Motion design and video editing skills
• Ability to take direction and execute/create to a high standard under pressure

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Designer you’ll be expected to:

• Conceptualise and visualize content for social media as well other channels
• Have an excellent knowledge of industry trends, campaigns and platform requirements
• Challenge yourself and those around you to consistently improve
• Ensure the level of design that comes out of the agency is of a high visual standard and crafted to meet the rapidly-changing requirements of the various social platforms

• Have a keen eye for detail and be able to maintain quality control of own work
• Work efficiently on a number of different clients within the working day, meeting deadlines and making sure projects are completed both on time and on budget
• Self initiate ideas and proactively contribute to briefs

• Demonstrate excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
