Graphic Designer

Digital Designer (Paid Media)

Manchester

WHO ARE WE?

Social Fitness is a fast-growing, scale-up business operating at the intersection of digital marketing and fitness.

In just 5 years, we’ve partnered with 450+ fitness studios globally, working with some of the fastest-growing boutique fitness and wellness brands including F45, FS8, STRONG Pilates and Anytime Fitness.

We don’t just create content. We create performance driven creative that scales.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Digital Graphic Designer to join the team and create high performing paid media for some of the world’s leading fitness and wellness brands.

This is a performance-led design role, not traditional brand work. Your output will directly impact results, clicks, leads and memberships.

You’ll take briefs, but more importantly, you’ll take initiative bringing ideas, improving concepts and constantly pushing for better creative.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Designing paid social ads (primarily Meta) built to perform
• Creating high-quality static creative, with occasional motion where possible
• Translating performance insights into stronger creative output
• Taking ownership of briefs and pushing them further creatively
• Collaborating closely with paid media specialists to improve results
• Contributing ideas for testing, iteration and scaling campaigns
• Supporting on occasional pitch work and creative concepts

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Must have:

• Experience designing paid social / digital ads
• Strong understanding of what makes creative convert, not just look good
• High attention to detail and the ability to work at pace
• Confidence working from briefs and taking initiative
• Strong skills across Adobe Creative Suite

Nice to have:

• Motion / animation (After Effects or similar)
• Experience in fitness, wellness or performance-led brands
• Familiarity with Canva

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Alongside our agency, we also operate Club SF, our own fitness community and presence across gyms in Manchester.

This gives you the opportunity to:

• Access a range of gyms and wellness studios across Manchester
• Experience the brands you’re designing for in real life
• Get involved in events and the local fitness scene
• Bring real-world insight back into your creative

It’s a unique opportunity to connect performance marketing with real-world brand experience — something most roles simply don’t offer.

WORKING SETUP

• Hybrid: 3 days in our Northern Quarter office (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday)
• 2 days working from home
• Full-time role

WHY JOIN SOCIAL FITNESS?

• Work with global fitness brands at scale
• Be part of a fast-growing agency where progression can happen quickly
• Create work that has a direct impact on performance
• Join a team that values initiative, speed and quality
• Be embedded in Manchester’s fitness and wellness culture
