Social Media Content Creator (Graphic Design)

Cambridge Spark Design Role You'll design most of what Cambridge Spark publishes on social, with LinkedIn as the main channel. That covers the company page and the profiles of our senior people. It's a hands-on making job, and you'll use AI tools every day to get more done and try things a small team couldn't otherwise manage. You'll also be the person who knows which formats are working on LinkedIn right now and why.
It suits someone early in their design career who's ready for a big step up. As the team grows there's plenty of room to grow with it.
Key responsibilities:
Design LinkedIn content, including single-image posts, infographics, carousels, motion graphics and event promotion
Make graphics for our newsletter, blog and resources section, podcast artwork and assets for our two shows (Data and AI Mastery and Inside the Algorithm), plus one-off pieces for campaigns
Use generative image and video tools to produce original visuals, and know when a piece needs proper design work instead of a generated image
Help build a consistent visual language for Cambridge Spark as the brand develops
Turn briefs from editorial, marketing and sales into finished work, and push back when a brief isn't clear
Run your own pipeline of requests, deadlines and approvals, and help keep the content calendar up to date
Track how posts perform and use what you find to shape the next round
