The Role: Senior Social Creative 

We are looking for a Senior Social Creative who doesn't just understand social. They help define what great social creativity looks like. 

This is a copy-led creative role for a writer who can turn cultural insight into compelling language, distinctive brand voices and original social-first ideas. You should be as comfortable writing a six-word hook or reactive comment as you are developing a campaign platform, creator script or global social narrative. 

This role is for someone who lives and breathes social culture, has exceptional creative instincts, and knows how to develop ideas that genuinely earn attention in today's fast-moving social landscape. You understand that the strongest social ideas aren't adapted from bigger campaign thinking. They're born from culture, communities, creators and platform behaviours. 

As a senior member of the creative team, you'll lead the development of bold, social-first concepts across always-on content, campaigns and reactive moments, helping shape the creative direction for one of our flagship client accounts. You'll partner closely with Creative Directors, Strategists, Designers, Producers and Account teams to create work that is culturally relevant, platform-native and commercially effective. 

You will originate ideas through language, lead copy development from concept to execution, and help define how the brand sounds across platforms, audiences and cultural moments. 

You'll also play an important role in elevating the creative output of the wider team by bringing fresh thinking, inspiring those around you, and maintaining a consistently high creative standard across everything we produce.
