Senior Social Designer & Video Editor
iGaming, Sports & Social Content
2 days Sowerby Bridge office | 3 days WFH
We’re Socialtrend, a specialist social media agency working with major brands across iGaming, sports and online entertainment.
We’re looking for a Senior Social Designer & Video Editor to join our existing design team and take a leading role in the creative output we produce every day.
This is not a traditional graphic design role.
We need someone who understands how content actually works on social media.
You’ll be designing fast-turnaround sports graphics, casino content, motion graphics, social posts and infographics, while also editing everything from 15-second reactive clips to vox pops, interviews and longer-form video.
A big part of the role is speed. If something happens during a football match, tournament or major sporting event, we may want content live that same day — sometimes within the hour.
You need to be comfortable working at that pace without sacrificing quality.
What you’ll be doing- Creating daily social media graphics across multiple major client accounts
- Producing fast-turnaround reactive sports content around live matches, tournaments and breaking moments
- Designing sports infographics, statistics, results, fixtures and data-led social content
- Creating casino and iGaming social media graphics
- Designing animated social posts and motion graphics
- Editing short-form video for Reels, TikTok, Shorts and X
- Editing longer-form interviews, features and branded content
- Turning raw footage into engaging, social-first edits
- Editing vox pops and content filmed at football grounds and live sporting events
- Creating video overlays, graphics, captions, transitions and branded visual elements
- Building strong opening hooks and maintaining pacing and retention throughout edits
- Creating daily content-calendar assets at volume
- Taking briefs from concept through to finished creative
- Developing templates and creative systems that allow the team to work quickly without everything looking templated
- Reviewing work and helping maintain creative standards across the wider design team
- Supporting and mentoring three other designers
- Working closely with Social Media Managers and Account Managers to turn ideas into content quickly
- Strong professional experience in social-first graphic design and video editing
- A portfolio demonstrating both static design and video/motion work
- Excellent knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro and After Effects
- Strong motion design and animation skills
- Excellent short-form video editing ability
- Understanding of hooks, pacing, retention and storytelling rather than simply making footage look polished
- Experience creating content specifically for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and X
- Ability to turn around high-quality creative quickly
- Comfortable producing multiple pieces of content every day
- Strong understanding of current social design styles, formats and trends
- Able to work independently and make creative decisions without needing every detail briefed
- Strong attention to detail and reliable with deadlines
- Comfortable reviewing work and helping develop more junior designers
You should understand that designing for social is different from designing a brochure, website or traditional advertising campaign.
You should instinctively think about:
What makes someone stop scrolling?
What is the hook in the first second?
Can someone understand this graphic immediately?
Does this need to be static, animated or video?
How quickly can we get this live while the moment is still relevant?
We're looking for someone who combines design ability, editing ability and social instinct.
Nice to have- Experience working within iGaming, casino or betting
- Strong interest in football and major sporting events
- Experience creating reactive sports content
- Experience working with sports statistics and data visualisation
- Experience editing content filmed at live events or football grounds
- Experience with creators, influencers or presenter-led content
- Experience leading or mentoring other designers
- Experience working in a fast-paced agency environment
- 2 days per week in our Sowerby Bridge office
- 3 days working from home
- Must be able to commute reliably
You'll join an established creative team of three designers as its senior member, helping set the creative standard across the department while remaining very hands-on yourself.
You'll work across major iGaming and sports brands, producing content that can be seen by millions of people.
This is a role for someone who wants to make things every day, move quickly and have genuine influence over the creative direction of the work.
- As the agency grows, there is scope to take increasing responsibility for creative direction, processes and the development of the wider design team.
