Midweight Designer (Motion & Content)

Motion person? Designer? Bit of both? Perfect. 👋

We’re looking for a brilliant Midweight Designer to join the creative team at Jam – someone who can make things move, make things look beautiful and bring a great idea to life across pretty much any channel.

This is a genuinely varied creative role. Around 60% social, motion and video editing, 40% branding, campaigns and wider design.

So one day you could be cutting a Reel, animating a social campaign or creating something reactive. The next, you could be developing a brand identity, working up a big campaign concept or making a pitch look ridiculously good.

No pigeonholes here.

You’ll get stuck into:

• Motion graphics and animation
• Video editing and social-first creative
• Branding and visual identities
• Creative concepts and integrated campaigns
• Digital, print and presentation design
• Pitches and new business
• The occasional content shoot
• Plenty of brainstorms, ideas and creative problem-solving

You’ll work closely with our Social Media team and Senior Content Creator on social work, so you don’t need to be a social strategist. But you do need to understand the platforms you’re designing for and know how to make content feel at home there.

You’ll need to be seriously good with...

• After Effects & Premiere Pro – essential
• Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign
• Figma

And, most importantly, you’ll have a portfolio that shows you can do both: great motion/video and beautifully crafted design.

We’re looking for around 3–5 years’ agency experience, loads of ideas and someone who’s reached the point where they can take a brief and run with it – not wait to be told what every frame should look like.
