About the company
Sports Cards Direct is one of the UK's leading destinations for trading cards, and SCD Live is where the action happens. Every day, our streamers go live opening packs, ripping boxes and celebrating huge pulls with our community. Those moments don't stop when the stream ends. They're the content that keeps people watching, sharing and coming back for more.
We're looking for a Creative Content Designer to capture those moments and turn them into scroll-stopping content.
Based full-time and on-site at our SCD Live studio in Plymouth, you'll work closely with our Content & Marketing Director and the SCD Live team to create engaging content across multiple platforms, using a range of creative mediums. One minute you could be clipping a huge pull from a live stream, the next you're designing tomorrow's stream thumbnail or building assets for a new campaign.
This is a fast-paced, varied role for someone who can switch between creative mediums seamlessly, owns their craft, and brings fresh creative ideas to the table. You'll help shape the visual identity of SCD Live while creating content that keeps our community engaged and our channels growing.
