About the Role
We have an exciting opportunity for a Digital Designer to join the UKTV Creative Team, the in-house creative hub delivering best-in-class content across paid, owned, and earned channels. UKTV Creative is redefining what creative means in a fast-evolving, data-driven, platform-native world, collaborating across marketing, media, and insight to create content that earns attention and moves audiences.

As Digital Designer (Performance & Innovation), you will be instrumental in shaping the future of our performance creative output. You will bring static and motion assets to life across paid media channels, helping drive subscriptions, engagement, and growth for UKTV Play. You will not only design what you are given but also help shape what is made—from concepting ideas to optimising outputs—bringing a design lens to everything we do.

This role is about designing for performance, working at the intersection of data, creativity, and innovation. You will have a passion for design craft, an eye for what works on platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube, and a hunger to experiment with automation and AI. You will help elevate our design output while shaping how we scale content through templates, tools, and new technologies.

At UKTV, we work in a hybrid environment balancing home and office working. Coming together in the office fosters collaboration, creativity, and culture while supporting a healthy work-life balance.

Experience
- Contributing to creative sessions and proactively suggesting platform or tool innovations
- Staying curious and informed about AI and automation to scale design, streamline workflow, or unlock creative testing
- Partnering with media and insight teams to iterate and improve based on campaign performance
- Strong conceptual and technical ability across static and motion formats
- Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite (especially After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator); working knowledge of 3D/AI tools is a bonus
- Deep understanding of digital platforms, formats, and audience behaviours, particularly in entertainment or youth-focused content
- Strong portfolio demonstrating creative flair, attention to detail, and performance-focused design

About you
- Curious and proactive, always looking to evolve your work, tools, and approach
- Comfortable balancing high craft with speed and scale
- Confident communicator, team collaborator, and design problem-solver
- Comfortable interpreting creative briefs and adapting based on campaign insight, platform data, or performance metrics

Qualifications
Not explicitly specified, but strong portfolio and proficiency in relevant design tools are essential.

Additional Skills (Nice to Have)
- Experience creating for emerging platforms such as Twitch, Snap, Reddit, gaming environments, shoppable video, AR filters
- Working knowledge of HTML5, CSS, or creative coding for dynamic ad formats
- Familiarity with creative automation/DCO platforms (Smartly.io, Celtra, Google Studio, Adobe Express, Canva for Enterprise)
- Experience with 3D, motion graphics, or lightweight VFX to enhance social assets
- Understanding of UX/UI principles for landing pages or micro-sites tied to campaigns
- Experience using data dashboards or analytics tools to inform creative decisions
- Knowledge of accessibility and inclusive-design standards for digital content
