We’re looking for a highly creative, culturally plugged-in Social Art Director to join our Studio team and create distinctive, platform-native content.
This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can take ownership of a social brief from initial idea through to capture, edit, delivery and performance learning.
You’ll be responsible for turning social and business objectives into strong creative ideas, then making those ideas happen. You’ll develop concepts, plan and lead content capture, direct talent and contributors, shoot where appropriate, oversee or undertake the edit, and ensure the final work is right for the platform and objective.
We’re looking for someone with a strong creative eye, excellent social fluency and a genuine point of view. Someone who is as comfortable developing an idea as they are directing talent, shooting content and editing it themselves.
You’ll be expected to challenge briefs, bring new thinking to the team and constantly look for more interesting, culturally relevant and entertaining ways for our brands to show up on social.
We'd love for you to have skills that look like:
- Strong social-first portfolio showing creative ideas and end-to-end content ownership.
- Excellent knowledge of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, with an understanding of how content should differ by platform.
- Strong video shooting and editing skills, including mobile/lightweight production.
- Able to take a brief from concept → shoot → edit → delivery independently.
- Confident directing creators, talent and other creative contributors.
- Understands what makes social content engaging: hooks, pacing, sound, captions and storytelling.
- Comfortable presenting ideas and explaining the creative rationale.
- Uses performance data and metrics to improve content and develop new ideas.
- Able to work quickly, reactively and independently, while managing multiple projects.
- Strong communicator who can collaborate with senior creative/social teams.
- Passionate about beauty, culture, creativity and the internet, with curiosity about AI and emerging technology.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, taking initiative and challenging briefs.
- Can take strategic/creative direction from a Senior Art Director while owning execution and results.
- Able to balance creative ambition with commercial goals, deadlines and resources.
Overall: We'd love someone who is both creative and highly practical, someone who can come up with distinctive social ideas and personally make them happen, while using data to improve performance.
