Hybrid, 3 days per week in the studio

Our client is a creative content agency built around a simple belief: great work starts with a powerful insight. They partner with global brands to create ideas that live across social, content, campaigns, film, brand platforms and digital experiences.

Still intentionally small and highly collaborative, they're building a business where strategy, creativity, design and production work as one team. With ambitious growth plans and an impressive client portfolio, this is an agency where talented people can make a visible impact.

Our client is looking for a Social Creative Lead to help drive creative excellence across one of their flagship global healthcare accounts.

This is a hands‑on role for a social‑first creative who combines strategic thinking, audience understanding and exceptional storytelling. You'll lead creative responses, shape campaign thinking and help create work that earns attention for the right reasons, not simply because it follows trends.

Initially focused on a major healthcare brand, you'll have opportunities to expand your influence across a growing client portfolio as the agency continues to scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead creative development across the global healthcare account.
• Develop social‑first campaigns, content platforms and always‑on creative programmes.
• Turn audience insight, cultural shifts and platform behaviours into compelling creative opportunities.
• Own creative responses and workstreams from brief through to delivery.
• Write scripts, social copy, presentation narratives and strategic rationale.
• Translate complex or technical subject matter into engaging and accessible creative ideas.
• Present and sell creative work confidently to clients and internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate closely with strategists, creatives, producers and client teams.
• Support and mentor junior team members.
• Help shape the agency's creative standards and social‑first capabilities.

Who are ya?

• Significant experience within a social, content or integrated agency environment.
• A portfolio that demonstrates strong social‑first thinking across multiple platforms and formats.
• An excellent storyteller, writer and presenter.
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and day‑to‑day levels across creative.
• Able to explain the insight behind an idea, not just the execution.
• Strong understanding of social platforms, audience behaviour and modern brand communications.
• Experience leading projects, campaigns or major workstreams.
• Comfortable working with research, expert perspectives and evidence‑based subject matter.
• Positive, solution‑oriented and proactive.
• Ambitious without ego and committed to producing exceptional work.

Bit of a Bonus

• Experience within healthcare, technology or lifestyle sectors.
• Familiarity with AI tools as part of your creative workflow.
• Experience building long‑term content platforms and social ecosystems.
• Client‑facing experience.

Why here, why now?

This is an opportunity to join a business at a genuinely exciting stage of growth.

Our client is not a large agency where roles are heavily defined and opportunities can take years to materialise. The team is small, ambitious and growing quickly, which means talented people are given real ownership and the chance to influence both the work and the direction of the business.

They are looking for people who can think strategically, contribute creatively and take responsibility for outcomes. People who succeed here are naturally curious, solution‑oriented and comfortable moving beyond a narrowly defined job description.

If you want to spend your time creating thoughtful, insight‑led work rather than chasing every trend, you'll be in good company. If you're ambitious and want your contribution to be recognised, you'll have the opportunity to grow alongside the business as it expands.

Most importantly, this is a place where great ideas matter, high standards are expected and talented people are trusted to make a difference.
