Content & Design Manager

Content & Design Manager - Hybrid - Permanent - Salary £45k

Location: Greater Manchester

A dynamic, design-led retail business is seeking a Content & Design Manager to take the reins of its creative strategy. This is your chance to shape how a premium brand shows up across digital channels - from bold campaigns to high-performing content that drives real results.

If you're a visionary creative leader with a passion for storytelling, performance, and design excellence, this is the opportunity to make your mark.

You'll lead the full creative lifecycle - from concept to execution - across web, social, email, video, and paid media. Working closely with marketing, digital, and external partners, you'll ensure every asset is on-brand, on-message, and optimised for impact.

Key Responsibilities:

Creative Strategy & Content Leadership

• Own and deliver a unified content strategy that fuels growth and brand engagement
• Lead the creation of scroll-stopping digital assets across all channels
• Drive SEO-led content that boosts visibility and customer connection
• Manage a content calendar that keeps storytelling fresh and relevant

Design Direction & Brand Guardianship

• Set the visual tone across e-commerce, campaigns, and digital platforms
• Create or direct standout graphics, motion content, and short-form video
• Collaborate with styling and photography teams to elevate visual output

Agency & Partner Management

• Brief and manage creative and media agencies to deliver best-in-class work
• Keep projects on time, on budget, and aligned with brand goals

Performance & Optimisation

• Partner with digital teams to test, learn, and refine creative assets
• Optimise content for engagement, conversion, and brand impact
• Build a library of reusable assets and templates for speed and consistency

What You'll Bring

• 5+ years in a senior content, design, or creative role - ideally in e-commerce, fashion, retail/agency
• A portfolio that showcases your ability to tell compelling brand stories across channels
• Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro) Klaviyo or similar tools
• Strong grasp of SEO content writing, performance marketing, and digital content best practices
• Experience managing agencies, freelancers, and cross-functional teams
• Excellent communication and project management skills
• A sharp eye for detail, design, and brand consistency

Why This Role Stands Out

• Lead creative strategy for a brand that's redefining its category
• Be part of a high-growth digital journey with real ownership and impact
• Collaborate with a passionate team that values innovation, bold ideas, and flawless execution
