Midweight Designer (Manchester)
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and creative person who can produce scroll stopping social media content, and is eager to join our growing team. Is this you?
👋 Who we are
We’re The Good Influence, the social first creative agency with a conscience. We help brands grow in a way that feels good - for people, culture, and the planet. Powering brands with social that stops the scrolls, but still has a soul.
As AdWeek’s #3 Fastest Growing Agency Globally, we’re leading a new generation of agencies proving that creativity can be both commercially powerful and socially positive. Whether it’s launching Wild & Weleda on TikTok, supporting life-saving tech such as R;pple or biohacking with Willpowders, we are here to harness the power of social: developing creative & engaging content, building vibrant communities, activating the right influencer partnerships and powering conversion & awareness through paid.
Good Influence is in our name, but also in our nature. We exist to build brands and communities but also to give back; we donate 1% of our revenue to 1% for the Planet, supporting The Felix Project as well as being a climate positive business through On A Mission.
👀 The Role
We’re looking for a creative powerhouse to join our team as a strong Midweight Designer, working across our roster of paid and organic clients. This role is for a multidisciplinary creative who can work across different specialisms, with a specific strength and preference for video editing and motion graphics. Your key responsibility will be day to day content creation that ranges from high quality graphic design to complex video edits. We need someone who is an absolute perfectionist with a very strong eye for detail, someone who puts absolutely everything into what they make to ensure it creates a good influence. This role suits a self starter with a solution based mindset. You won’t just be executing briefs; you’ll be defining what "good" looks like, utilising AI to innovate, and driving projects forward to create award winning work.
🎨 What you'll be doing:
Content Creation & Production
Drive day to day content creation across both paid and organic clients, ensuring every asset is platform native and polished.
Lead on video editing and motion graphics (your primary focus), transforming raw footage into scroll-stopping social content.
Produce high quality static graphic design work alongside your motion duties.
Take full ownership of the production process, ensuring technical specs and platform best practices are met every time.
Innovation & Research
You are a true creative AI whizz. You possess expert level command of the leading video and image generation platforms (e.g., Midjourney, Gen-3, Topaz) and understand the nuances of prompt engineering to achieve specific, high fidelity results.
Demonstrate a deep curiosity for the social landscape, constantly researching what is trending and what is new across TikTok, Reels, and other platforms.
Apply a "social-first" lens to every project, understanding intuitively what works for engagement (organic) versus conversion (paid).
Workflow & Collaboration
Work collaboratively with different areas of the company (strategy, influencer, paid media) to create the absolute best work possible.
Manage your own workload with a solution based attitude; you don't wait to be told what to do, you identify the need and execute.
Prioritise and drive multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, meeting strict deadlines without compromising on quality.
🔍 Who we're looking for:
Previous agency or in-house brand experience is an absolute must. You understand the pace of agency life and how to juggle multiple clients effectively.
An impressive creative portfolio demonstrating strong capabilities in video editing and motion graphics (Premiere Pro/After Effects), as well as graphic design (Figma/Photoshop/Illustrator).
Proven skills in utilising AI tools for video and image generation, you know how to use these platforms to your advantage.
An absolute perfectionist with an uncompromising eye for detail.
A solution-based mindset, you take initiative, solve problems independently, and have a "can-do" attitude.
Social first capabilities: you live on social and know exactly what visual trends are driving culture right now.
Excellent time management skills with the ability to prioritise tasks under pressure.
A collaborative spirit, you are happy working autonomously but thrive when contributing to the wider team's success.
