Social Creative Lead
Shoreditch, London | Hybrid
Simply Social is a growing social-first creative agency, bringing together strategy, creativity and production to help brands connect with people through content they want to watch.
We’re looking for a Social Creative Lead to develop standout ideas and help guide the work of our London creative team. Based at our Shoreditch office and studio, you’ll work across campaigns, always-on content and creator partnerships for ambitious brands.
The Role
You’ll take the creative lead on briefs, turning strategic thinking into ideas that feel natural on social. From entertaining scripts and repeatable formats to reactive content and bigger campaign concepts, you’ll help shape work that earns attention and delivers against the brief.
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves coming up with ideas and making them happen. You’ll write, pitch, collaborate with creators and guide execution, while supporting other creatives with clear direction and constructive feedback for always on content for our retained clients.
What You'll Do

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
