CV023 - Creative Lead

Cavalry freelancing

Job Description

Job Description

You’re a Senior Creative, looking for their next move who wants to work with some of the world’s

biggest entertainment brands. You’re an ambitious and talented designer who sees every brief

as a chance to make something memorable, who can think boldly, design beautifully, and bring

ideas to life with craft, curiosity and taste.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can do it all and do it well. One day you're crafting

ideas and designing a pitch deck for a comedy, the next you're cutting together a reel for an

action movie premiere, or building out invites, signage and motion assets for a horror launch

event. You'll work across film campaigns from day one; print, social, events, the lot.

About Us

We create work that moves fast, feels fresh and gets noticed for clients like

Disney, Amazon and A24. Our roots are in entertainment, our passion is storytelling, and our

independence fuels everything we do.

The Role

We're opening our first permanent US studio. You'd be one of the founding team out there,

working alongside our LA-based Project Manager and Account Director to bring our craft-led

approach stateside.

You’ll be designing print and digital collateral for events, as well as editing video content and

building motion graphics for social. Working directly with our UK creative team on shared

campaigns, while shaping what "good" looks like for our US output. Acting as the on-the-ground

creative voice for LA clients and partners. In the long term this role has the potential to grow as

our creative capacity in the US scales.

You’ll Be

● A natural go-getter who thrives on collaboration and creative problem-solving.

● A conceptual thinker who loves coming up with concepts and shaping ideas.

● Obsessed with design craft, typography, and visual storytelling.

● Fluent in the tools of the trade (Adobe Creative Suite including motion skills).

● An all-rounder, capable of concepting at a high level while also rolling up your sleeves to

design, animate, and experiment directly.

● Excited by entertainment, pop culture, and what’s next in digital creativity.

● Confident presenting to clients and selling the power of a strong visual idea.

What You’ll Do

● Lead the ideation, visual direction and execution of digital and social campaigns

● Develop look-and-feel guidelines, art boards, and treatments that set the creative tone.

● Oversee design and motion across all campaign assets, ensuring quality, consistency,

and boldness.

● Work closely with designers, editors, and motion designers to bring ideas to life.

● Be both an Art Director and a hands-on Graphic and Motion Designer, capable of

concepting at a high level while also rolling up your sleeves to design, animate, and

experiment directly.

● Get hands-on when needed, designing, animating, and pushing creative boundaries.

● Help refine studio workflows and elevate creative standards across the board.

● Collaborate with clients and internal teams to make great ideas real.

Experience required

You’ll have a few solid years behind you in a creative or digital agency or as a freelancer, with a

portfolio that shows range, taste and ambition.

You’ve led projects and shaped campaigns that made an impact, visually, emotionally, or

culturally.

You’re fluent in graphic design and motion, confident presenting ideas to clients, and

comfortable switching between hands-on creation and big-picture direction.

Most importantly, you care deeply about the craft, and about pushing it somewhere new every

time.

What We Offer

A collaborative, ambitious and genuinely friendly creative team.

A focus on personal growth, with training, mentorship and opportunities to shape the future of

our creative department.

And plenty of perks that support balance, curiosity and creativity.

Ready to make work that people actually talk about?

We’d love to see your portfolio.
