Social Nucleus

Social Nucleus is a performance-driven eCommerce agency that helps 7–8 figure DTC brands scale through paid advertising on Meta, TikTok, and Google. With over £150 million in sales driven and £20 million in ad spend managed annually, great creative is at the centre of everything we do.

 

We're looking for a Video-First Designer to join our creative team on a long-term, full-time basis. Video is our biggest growth area, but this isn't a one-trick role — you'll need strong design fundamentals across the board. Static ads, landing pages, emails, brand content — it all matters. If you understand that great creativity drives great performance, you'll fit right in.

 

What you'll be doing

* Editing and producing high-performing video content from raw assets (UGC, product footage, brand materials)
* Creating Instagram Reels, TikToks, YouTube videos (short and long-form), and paid social video ads
* Designing static ads, landing pages, emails, and brand content to a high standard
* Translating briefs into thumb-stopping creatives for paid social
* Collaborating with creative strategists and media buyers on concept and execution
* Managing and delivering work across multiple client accounts simultaneously
* Keeping up with trends in editing styles, formats, and social-first storytelling

 

What we're looking for

* 2–5 years of experience in digital design, video editing, or motion graphics (agency, in-house, or freelance)
* Strong video editing experience — a proven track record with Reels, TikToks, and YouTube content
* Strong still design skills — static ads, landing pages, and digital assets
* At least 1 year of hands-on Figma experience
* Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and/or CapCut or similar
* A performance mindset — you know how to make good-looking content convert
* Comfortable managing multiple projects at once in a fast-moving agency environment
* Reliable availability during UK business hours (9am–5pm Mon–Fri)
* Excellent communication and attention to detail in a remote setup

 

Nice to have

* Experience with AI creative tools or automation
* 3D or motion design skills
* eCommerce or paid advertising background
* Prior agency experience

 

Why join us

* Competitive pay depending on experience, paid bi-weekly
* Long-term, stable remote role with a fast-growing performance agency
* Clear, video-first remit — meaningful, varied work across some great DTC brands
* Fast-moving environment with real scope to develop your craft alongside top-tier media buyers and creative strategists

 

How to apply

Please submit your CV along with a portfolio that includes:

* Video examples — Reels, TikToks, and/or YouTube edits
* Still design work — static ads, landing pages, or brand assets
