About Catalyst Growth
We're a digital marketing agency that thrives on bold ideas and powerful visuals. At Catalyst Growth, we specialise in UGC ads, static and motion design creatives. We work with fast-growing DTC brands across the world to drive engagement and scale their digital presence.
The Role
We're looking for a Midweight Graphic Designer to produce high-quality creative across our client accounts and help raise the bar for what great looks like at the agency. This isn't just an execution role - you'll bring genuine craft and ideas to the table, get stuck into experimentation, and play an active part in the work coming out of the design team.
Key Responsibilities
- Own creative quality and consistency across multiple client accounts, with clear accountability for performance outcomes month-on-month.
- Lead ideation and concept development, articulating the why behind creative decisions and weaving purposeful narrative into every visual.
- Design and deliver high-complexity paid social content - branded statics, carousels, memes, and emerging formats - that balances creative ambition with ROI.
- Build and lead experimentation frameworks and creative testing plans, using data to drive iteration and inform strategy.
- Anticipate client needs, manage creative feedback strategically, and foster strong, trust-based client relationships.
- Apply trends selectively and intentionally - knowing when a format serves performance and when it's just noise.
- Help develop AI-powered creative systems and workflows that raise the team's output and quality ceiling.
- Collaborate across disciplines, aligning design with broader campaign and growth priorities.
- Actively raise the creative bar and contribute to a strong feedback culture.
- Spearhead high-impact creative initiatives and explore new formats that push accounts forward.
