The Pepperstone story started in 2010. We know what it’s like to trade the world’s markets. Our team describes us as a place for the curious and the driven, and we like to do things a little differently; as a transformative global fintech, we’re digital, nimble, connected, and united in our vision to create a better way to trade.

We thrive on progress – for our clients and for ourselves. Our organisational culture is ever-evolving, vibrant, diverse, global, and results-focused. You’ll find our 700+ team currently across 12 locations and 9 time zones.

The role

We're looking for a designer who can crack the idea, not just execute someone else's. You'll work across static, motion and AI-generated content for campaigns running across multiple channels — taking work from a rough brief through to a finished, animated, on-brand asset.

This is a hybrid role by design: strong conceptual and visual instincts, real animation skill, and genuine fluency with AI generation tools (Higgsfield and similar) as a working part of the production process, not a novelty

As our Creative Designer, your key responsibilities will include:

Develop original creative concepts from briefs, working closely with copywriters, strategists, the wider creative team, and the regional marketing team
Design and animate assets for social, display and other digital or printed formats — stills and motion
Use AI image/video generation tools (Higgsfield and similar) to produce and refine campaign assets, from prompt-crafting through to final export
Take ideas from concept and storyboard through to fully finished, channel-ready deliverables
Keep work sharp and on-brand across several live campaigns at once
Partner with video editors and other designers on cutdowns, sizzles and longer-form campaign films

About you

Strong conceptual thinking — you can originate an idea, not just tidy one up
Animation skill — confident bringing static design to life in After Effects
Real hands-on use of AI generation tools — Higgsfield or similar (e.g. Runway, Kling), used inside an actual production workflow rather than just casual experimentation
Proficiency across Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects
Around 3–5 years' experience across concept, design and motion (flexible for the right portfolio)
Right to work in the UK
A portfolio that shows range: concept, motion and craft — not just one of the three
Understanding of consumer mindsets and cultural nuances across the UK, Germany, and Italy, with the ability to tailor creative work to each market

Nice to have

3D modelling/rendering (Cinema 4D, Blender or similar)
Experience designing for financial services, trading or another regulated industry
Comfortable working at pace across multiple concurrent campaigns
