• Equally as comfortable designing animated graphics for video production.
• Brand ambassador and steward for all aspects of visual design.
• Create compelling experiences that inspire and engage users.
• Identify creative routes to take and lead their implementation.
• Lead the management of design systems and version control.
• Work simultaneously across multiple briefs, ranging from asset design to animations, wireframes, and user flows.
• Adjust design approaches based on key learnings and trends.
• Align with the content marketing strategy to create impactful designs, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability in evolving assets based on KPI reporting and feedback.
• Develop a solid understanding of our target audiences across the market segments the business sells into and adapt design accordingly.
• Advise on how to modernize the function to match our ambition.

What you bring to the table:

• 5+ years’ experience in an agency or B2B design role.
• An impressive portfolio showing the development of concepts through to execution.
• Excellent project management and time management skills.
• Awareness of news and trends which could influence our approach.
