Junior Designer, Performance

Saatchi & Saatchi is looking for a Junior Designer to join our Performance team. You'll work alongside art directors, strategists, and the media team to produce digital assets that don't just look good — they work. This is a production-forward role with real creative upside for someone who is hungry, detail-oriented, and fluent in digital.

About the team

Performance at Saatchi & Saatchi sits at the intersection of creative and data — building work that moves people and moves the numbers. Our junior designers are core to that engine, and we invest in helping them grow into fully-formed creative thinkers who are ready for whatever comes next.

What you'll do

• Execute digital ad creative across display, social, and paid media — banners, carousels, and stories — with speed and accuracy.
• Adapt existing campaign creative into multiple formats, sizes, and specs while maintaining brand consistency and creative intent.
• Manage revisions and versioning efficiently, keeping assets organized and production pipelines on schedule.
• Build and update client-facing presentations in Google Slides, translating creative work into clear, polished decks.
• Collaborate with creative, media, and account teams to align on deliverables and timelines. 
• Work alongside a copywriter to concept deliverables and complete workflows. Actively explore and integrate AI tools into your creative workflow — contributing to how we work smarter and stay ahead.

What we're looking for

• A system thinker who has a genuine passion for AI-powered creative tools — whether that's generative image, copy assist, or workflow automation — and the drive to help shape how we use them.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite — Photoshop and Illustrator — is required.
• Knowledge of motion design and experience with After Effects is preferred.
• Google Slides fluency is a must.
• Working knowledge of Figma is a plus.

You also bring

• 1–3 years of professional design experience, agency or in-house or ad tech.
• A portfolio demonstrating digital-first work — production chops matter as much as ideation here.
• Strong understanding of digital ad specs and platform requirements across Meta, Google, and programmatic.
