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. You'll work alongside clients and internal teams, bringing solid thinking and strong craft to everything from scroll-stopping static ads to high-impact creative frameworks - all while continuing to sharpen your skills and grow as a designer.
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.
About You
- 3+ years of design experience, with a strong track record in a digital marketing or agency environment.
- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft, strategic thinking, and a clear understanding of performance-led social creative.
- Expert-level proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects).
- Confident using LLMs and AI design tools to accelerate concept generation, copywriting, and image production - and excited to push these further.
- Understanding of paid social across Instagram, TikTok, and beyond - including how platform dynamics, formats, and algorithms shape creative decisions.
- Ability to read and act on performance data, with a clear, demonstrable impact on creative results over time.
- Experience with DTC brands, and a genuine interest in the growth marketing space.
- A natural communicator and collaborator who can hold their own with clients and inspire a team internally.
- Someone who takes ownership seriously - of their accounts, their craft, and the people around them.

We're based in London and operate a hybrid working model - 2 days in our Elephant.
