Senior Creative Executive

About the Role

This is a high-impact opportunity to join a leading short-form video agency as a Senior Creative Executive within the Client Service team.

We’re looking for someone who understands what makes short-form social content engaging and can take a client brief, product message or marketing objective and turn it into strong UGC concepts and scripts.

You’ll sit at the intersection of creative, content and creator management. You’ll work closely with creators to bring ideas to life, from briefing and scriptwriting through to content review and delivery. You’ll also manage multiple projects at once, provide creative feedback and help keep campaigns moving in a fast-paced agency environment.

You’ll work across global brands, with plenty of opportunity to take ownership, develop your creative and client-facing skills, and grow your career within the team.

About You

You’re highly organised, creative and confident. You understand social content and have a strong eye for what makes people stop scrolling, keep watching and take action.

You can take a brief and turn it into an engaging concept or script. You understand hooks, storytelling, pacing and audience retention, and you’re comfortable giving creators clear creative direction and constructive feedback.

You’re also someone who naturally keeps things moving. You can manage multiple creators, projects and deadlines without losing attention to detail, and you’re comfortable working in an environment where priorities can change quickly.

You communicate with confidence and have a point of view. You’re not afraid to speak up, challenge an idea or suggest a better approach.

Most importantly, you can actually write. You can develop scripts and creative concepts from scratch rather than relying on AI to do the thinking for you.
