About us

East at Home is a fast-growing UK food brand making award-winning curry sauces, spice kits and sides that bring the curry-house experience home. We manufacture our products in Greater Manchester and sell mainly through our Shopify website.

We're looking for a creative, hands-on designer to turn our existing footage and product photography into engaging advertising and marketing content that helps drive sales.

The role

You'll work closely with our e-commerce team and content producer, who supplies the footage and photography. Your focus will be on editing, designing and developing creative ideas rather than filming.

You'll be responsible for

• Paid social ads: Edit short-form video ads and create static images and carousels for Meta (Facebook and Instagram), producing around 10–15 ad variations per week.
• Creative testing: Develop new hooks, concepts, edits and variations based on advertising performance.
• Digital design: Create website banners, email graphics, landing-page designs and other promotional assets.
• Print design: Produce leaflets, product inserts, point-of-sale materials and updates to existing print artwork.
• AI and creative tools: Use AI and modern design tools to develop ideas, speed up production and test different creative approaches.

About you

• Strong graphic design skills and a good eye for engaging, effective advertising.
• Confident editing short-form videos using supplied footage.
• Experience creating Meta ad creatives, ideally for an e-commerce brand.
• Comfortable with Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva, CapCut or similar tools.
• Able to work independently, manage deadlines and bring fresh ideas.
• Experience preparing artwork for professional printing.

Nice to have

• Experience with web design, landing pages and UX/UI principles.
• Familiarity with Shopify, Figma or website page builders.
• Experience in food, drink or consumer brands.

Why join us?

• Work with an award-winning, growing UK food brand.
• See how your creative performs and use real results to shape future work.
• Work across paid advertising, websites, email and print.
• Have the freedom to bring your own ideas and influence our creative direction.

To apply: Send your CV and portfolio, including examples of static advertising designs and short-form videos you've personally created.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete a short paid creative task.
