We bring everyone together regularly for inspiring sessions and great conversations over amazing food, because the best ideas often start with "what if?". 

Role Overview
We’re looking for a detail-obsessed, conceptually sharp designer/editor to join our creative team. This role is ideal for someone who understands the anatomy of high-performing paid social ads, who can design visuals and edit videos that capture attention and drive results on Meta and TikTok.

You’ll be crafting creative across a variety of ad formats: from punchy UGC cuts to crisp static carousels to motion-led concepts. You’ll be working closely with our Growth Lead, Creative Strategist, and Founder to interpret briefs, refine layouts, review copy placements, and iterate based on performance data.

This position is ideal for someone with a few years of hands-on experience in paid social, who’s equally confident following a tight brief or offering creative input that elevates the work. You care about gridlines, pacing, structure, and storytelling, and you know how to make things perform without making them feel like ads.

The role is designed to be flexible, and does not require necessarily a full time committment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and edit high-performing creative for Meta and TikTok ads (UGC, static, motion, carousels)
• Translate creative briefs and concepts into polished ad assets across multiple formats
• Collaborate with the Creative Strategist and Growth Lead on ideas, iterations, and testing
• Apply feedback with precision, balancing creative instincts with performance goals
• Maintain visual consistency and brand integrity across clients and campaigns
• Organise and manage creative assets, file structures, and working files in a clean and scalable way
• Stay on top of trends and best practices in TikTok and Meta ad creative
• Contribute to Aperture’s own brand and marketing efforts when needed (social posts, decks, etc.)
  

Required Experience & Skills

• 2–4 years of experience designing and editing for performance marketing (agency or in-house)
• Strong portfolio of Meta and/or TikTok ad creative that showcases both design craft and performance thinking
• Proficiency in tools such as Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects), Figma, CapCut, and Canva
• Solid understanding of layout, composition, type, and hierarchy, especially in paid social formats
• Experience editing UGC content for TikTok-style ads with strong pacing and attention to platform norms
• Meticulous eye for detail: nothing escapes your grid, margin, or timeline
• Comfortable working with feedback and managing multiple projects in parallel
• Fluent in file hygiene, version control, and structured asset handoff

Bonus: motion design, meme fluency, or copy instincts that improve creative with just a few words
