Branding Lead (Creative & Content) in London

Westbourne Grove, London | 5 days in office

£60,000 - £75,000 + bonus

What started with £10 worth of ingredients and a handful of family recipes has grown into one of the UK's fastest-growing businesses, recognised by The Sunday Times 100 as the UK's 5th fastest-growing company in both 2025 and 2026.

We've grown through great products, authentic founder-led storytelling and effective performance marketing. Much of our content has been social-first, fast and intentionally scrappy and that's part of what makes Simmer feel real. We want to preserve that as we grow, while raising the creative ambition around it.

We don't just want to build a great food company. We want to build a brand people genuinely choose to engage with, talk about and remember. We're looking for a Creative Lead to own how Simmer's stories come to life.

You'll have influence across almost every expression of the brand from something we shoot on an iPhone this afternoon to social, photography, packaging, retail, brand films and major campaigns. We want someone who still loves being close to the craft: coming up with ideas, finding the story, shaping scripts, art directing, directing shoots, challenging briefs and making good ideas much better.

You'll also help build around the work, shaping the creative standards, team and ways of working that allow exceptional creative to happen consistently as Simmer grows. A brand people recognise before they see the logo.

You'll help evolve how Simmer looks and feels across photography, film, social, typography, packaging, retail and digital. You'll work closely with our Founder and wider marketing team, bringing your own taste, references and point of view.

Great creative starts with a great idea. You'll turn customer insight, cultural observations and business opportunities into creative people genuinely want to watch, remember and share. You'll move comfortably from idea → story → creative direction → execution.

You'll play a leading role across ambassador partnerships, product launches, founder campaigns, photography, brand films, and major cultural moments. And you'll think beyond the hero asset. If we have one brilliant day of production, how do we turn it into exceptional creative everywhere our customers meet Simmer?

Building an environment where brilliant work happens repeatedly is another. You'll help shape the team, creative standards, production, planning and ways of working behind the work. The ambition is simple: creative output and creative quality should grow together.

You'll work closely with Brand, Growth and our Founder, and stay curious about why someone stopped, watched, remembered, clicked, shared or bought. Sometimes the right answer will be a beautifully art-directed campaign. Great creative judgement is knowing the difference.

You've spent the last few years getting really good at making creative, but increasingly find yourself thinking about the whole thing. Not just the campaign, but the brand it belongs to. Not just your own work, but how you help other talented people produce their best.

You might currently be a Senior Creative, Senior Art Director, Art Director, Design Lead or Creative Lead. We're more interested in the quality of your work, your judgement and where you're capable of going next.

You could join an established brand and inherit a creative language that's already been defined. Or you could help shape one. You'll work closely with our Founder, have meaningful influence over the next evolution of Simmer, help build the Creative function and lead work seen by millions of people.

There's already a strong foundation here. The opportunity is to take everything that's authentic and distinctive about Simmer today and help build what it could become next. If you've spent the last few years building your craft and feel ready to build something bigger with it, we'd love to meet you.
