Through data-driven strategies, we combine performance marketing, creative strategy, product optimisation, CRM, analytics and experimentation to help ambitious companies scale.

Founded in 2022 by Hannah Parvaz, Aperture has quickly made waves. Already recognised as Business Consultant of the Year and named 2024’s Most Innovative Growth Agency, we’re now building the team that will take us into our next stage of growth.

We work with some of the most exciting apps, platforms and digital products in the world. Our job is not just to make things look good. Our job is to make growth happen.

• Growth mindset. We're hungry to learn and improve.
• Take full responsibility for every outcome—no excuses.
• Obsess over results. We're here to make a measurable impact.
• We’re data-obsessed. We let numbers, not opinions, guide our decisions.

• Radical candour. We give and receive honest feedback to fuel growth.
• No job is too small. We support each other and JDFI.
  

We’re remote-first and impact-first.

Work from wherever you’re most productive, while staying closely connected to the team through regular collaboration, team sessions, client work and in-person meetups.

We also bring the team together for retreats, events, conferences and working sessions around the world. Travel to team meetups is covered.

You must be able to work in a UK timezone.

We’re hiring a Creative Strategist to help build, lead and scale Aperture’s performance creative engine.

This is not a “make pretty ads” role.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Performance marketing
• Social-native copywriting
• User psychology
• Creator-led production
• AI-native research
• Creative testing systems
• Funnel and offer strategy
• Platform-native growth

We’re hiring a Graphic Designer to support and scale our performance creative output.

This is not a brand-only or static design role.

You’ll be working on ads. A lot of them.

Your job is to take creative concepts and turn them into high-performing visuals across paid social, UGC, statics and emerging formats.

You’ll work closely with creative strategists, performance teams and creator managers to produce assets that are clear, fast, native to platform and built to convert.

This role sits at the intersection of:

• Design
• Performance marketing
• Creative testing
• Social-native content
• AI-assisted production

Creative is now one of the biggest levers in paid acquisition.

As targeting becomes more automated, platform signals become more complex, and competition increases, growth teams need stronger creative systems. Meta’s newer delivery systems rely heavily on creative signals, variation and structured testing, meaning creative volume and diversity are becoming central to performance.

At the same time, generative AI is changing how creative teams research, concept, produce and iterate. Leading marketing teams are using AI to speed up production, personalise messaging, analyse customer feedback and scale creative experimentation.

This role exists to keep Aperture ahead of that shift.

You’ll help us build creative systems that are faster, sharper, more human, more automated and more commercially effective.
