About Switch Markets
Switch Markets is a regulated global CFD broker offering traders access to FX, commodities, indices, crypto and shares.

The Creative Lead will own the creative direction and execution of Switch Markets’ global marketing output. You will lead multi-channel creative initiatives across paid ads, brand, social media, YouTube, product design alignment, and campaigns.
This role requires someone who is both hands-on and strategic—able to produce high-quality creative work while also guiding a growing team, collaborating closely with the product department, and ensuring visual consistency across every touchpoint.
A strong understanding of the CFD/FX/fintech industry is essential. This is a non-negotiable requirement due to our regulatory environment and the complexity of our product.
