At Sweaty Betty, we’re more than just a global activewear and lifestyle brand for women.

We’re also a community that believes fitness is a flip-the-switch trigger for becoming the woman you want – and our social channels are our digital hubs to bring those active women together.

If you want to join us on the next chapter of our adventure, you’re in the right place. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented Social Media Designer to join us on our mission to empower women through fitness beyond by creating engaging experiences for our customer.

We are looking for someone who is obsessed with creating thumb-stopping social content that aligns with our global brand vision.

The role and opportunity really are yours for the taking and moulding.

While our main focus is Instagram right now, you will have in-depth knowledge across all social media platforms and help to drive brand awareness and establish our Sweaty Betty community across them with bold, instantly recognisable content.

You are someone who is always scrolling to keep abreast of current trends, but are also looking for the next big thing and are not afraid of pushing boundaries. You are driven to create dynamic, emotive and global storytelling, always striving to create market leading creative.

Must Haves

Our D&I Commitment
Our mission is to empower all women. This means doing more and working harder to make the long-lasting changes necessary to become an inclusive, diverse and actively anti-racist company. We care about our people, our community, our world. And we want to stand up for what we believe in.

We want to give our people a platform to use their voice. And actively listen and learn from what they have to say. This involves focusing on learning, development and progression across the business. Training our leaders, managers and teams about their rights under our equality, diversity and inclusion policy. And being clear on the responsibilities we hold to each other and our community. It also means being committed to equal employment opportunities. Ensuring we consider ALL applicants for jobs. And work harder to make our job advertising more inclusive.

Ultimately, we’re working to create a culture and team that represents our customers, our community and our mission of empowerment. We want to celebrate our diversity and the power it gives our team and our business.

We know we’re on a journey. And far from perfect. But we want to be a part of the solution to the problem. It might not be comfortable or straightforward. But if we weren’t up for doing the hard work and breaking the mould, we wouldn’t be Sweaty Betty. We are committed to working across our business and with our Internal Diversity & Inclusion Squad to be champions, allies and inclusive, always. Because when we say All, we mean it.
