Designer

MANUAL is looking for a Graphic Designer to lead the creation of high‑impact, performance‑driven design across paid social and digital channels.

In paid media, every pixel has a role. We seek a designer who combines strong conceptual thinking with exceptional craft to create work that stops the scroll, communicates clearly, and drives action. All of this while building long‑term trust in a regulated healthcare brand.

What You’ll Do

• Lead creative thinking and execution for paid social and digital channels, delivering scroll‑stopping static and motion‑led design across multiple product categories.
• Develop insight‑led creative concepts that balance brand and performance, translating growth objectives into clear, compelling visual ideas.
• Own paid creative projects from brief through to delivery, iteration and optimisation.
• Maintain an outstanding level of design craft and attention to detail across all outputs, ensuring assets are on‑brand, platform‑native and performance‑optimised.
• Lead art direction for still and motion content—from concepting and storyboarding through to shoot‑day direction (in collaboration with the Creative Producer) and post‑production feedback.
• Work closely with Growth, Marketing & Copywriters to turn insights, learnings and briefs into high‑performing creative.
• Support creative testing roadmaps by producing multiple variations, formats and iterations to enable rapid learning and optimisation across paid channels.
• Build strong internal relationships and contribute to improving creative processes, velocity and collaboration across teams.

Who You Are

• Experience: 3+ years as a Graphic Designer with a strong portfolio demonstrating paid social, performance or digital‑first design.
• Design Tools: Expert in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). Experience with After Effects or Premiere Pro is a bonus.
• Paid & Social Understanding: Strong understanding of how creative performs across paid platforms, including formats, placements and best practices.
• Art Direction & Visual Judgment: Confident art‑directing photography and video from a design perspective, with a strong eye for composition, framing and storytelling.
• Typography & Layout: Excellent typography skills and a deep understanding of hierarchy, clarity and visual communication.
• Performance Mindset: Comfortable designing for testing and iteration; understands that performance creative evolves through data, feedback and learning.
• Collaboration & Communication: Clear, confident communicator who can present ideas, give and receive feedback, and work effectively with cross‑functional teams.
• Organisation & Pace: Able to manage multiple projects and timelines in a fast‑paced environment without compromising on quality.
• UX Awareness: Basic understanding of UX principles and how design choices impact user behaviour and conversion.
