The Complete Creative: You have expert-level mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) alongside extensive video editing and motion graphics capability (Premiere Pro, After Effects). A Commercial Leader: You understand that beautiful design is useless if it doesn't drive commercial goals (occupancy, recruitment, brand equity) or save the business money (supplier negotiation). An Empathetic Communicator: You possess the emotional intelligence to visually market highly sensitive adult social care and dementia services with profound dignity and regulatory (CQC) compliance. What will you gain? The Kingsley Package: £36,500.00 Base Salary 10% Performance-Related Pay (PRP) Bonus tied directly to your commercial and delivery results.

We don't just run ads. We answer the question every ambitious e-commerce founder is asking: how do you scale from 7 figures to 8? We work with D2C brands at the point where things get serious. Scrappy start-ups that have found product-market fit and need a partner who can turn that into heavy, sustained scale. Our clients don't come to us for maintenance. They come to us to grow. We manage over £10M in paid media across Meta and TikTok for brands like Lucky Saint, Fem Fuelz, Butter & Crust, & Four Five. We combine data-led media buying with creative that converts, and we're now building the team to take us to the next level. The Role As a Growth Strategist at Launch With Us, you'll own the performance and strategic direction for a portfolio of six D2C e-commerce clients. This is not a media buying role: that's handled by dedicated Media Buyers in your pod. Your job is to think strategically across Meta performance, creative direction, and e-commerce growth, and to translate that thinking into results your clients can feel.

Creative Strategy Partner with Creative Strategists and content teams to shape briefs that drive performance. Use performance data to inform creative direction: angles, formats, hooks, and offers. Review creative output through a performance lens and provide clear, actionable feedback. Stay ahead of what's working on Meta and bring fresh thinking to every account. Client Leadership Be the primary strategic point of contact for your clients: building trust, managing expectations, and owning the relationship.

Experience shaping or contributing to creative strategy: you know what makes an ad work and why. Clear communicator who can run a confident client call and translate complex data into simple recommendations. Organised and accountable: you can manage a portfolio of six accounts without dropping the ball. Growth mindset: you're not precious about being wrong and you move fast when you spot an opportunity. You Take ownership: you win or learn, never blame. Are proactive, not reactive. You spot problems before clients do. Communicate clearly and honestly with clients and teammates alike. Are data driven but creatively minded: you live at the intersection of both. Thrive in a fast paced environment where high expectations are the norm. Care about getting results, not just looking busy.
