Warp is looking for a social-first creative to join our team in London, helping bring our Artists’ stories to life across digital platforms.
You’ll be a creative all rounder and skilled in visual storytelling, bringing solid experience creating short form video, graphic design, motion graphics and imagery. Based within the Digital Communications team, you’ll work fluidly with other departments, including A&R, Streaming, Marketing and E-Commerce, delivering creative for social media, mailers, websites and beyond.
