We are looking for a Mid‑Level Designer to support the design function during the maternity leave period of the Head of Design. This role will ensure continuity of core marketing and web design tasks, maintain brand quality, and help deliver ongoing campaigns and website‑related initiatives. The Mid‑Level Designer will work alongside one Junior/Mid‑Level designer currently in the team and collaborate closely with a freelance HubSpot front‑end developer for implementation. The design team’s workload is organized and monitored in ClickUp, and the candidate is expected to follow established processes, maintain clear task structures, and support efficient delivery.

  • Work collaboratively with Digital Marketing, Content, Events, and Product Marketing to support campaign asset needs.
  • Ensure deliverables align with marketing goals such as performance optimisation, trial acquisition, and website improvements.
• Video & Motion (Basic)
  • Produce simple video edits (cutdowns, subtitles, light adjustments).
  • Motion design skills and tools are a plus.
  • Prepare briefs and assets for a freelance motion designer when advanced animation is required.
  • Support review cycles and ensure timely delivery of motion assets.
• Design System & Workflow
  • Use and update the marketing design system in Figma under guidance from existing system rules.
  • Apply reusable components, templates, and best practices to maintain consistency.
  • Produce and update templates for the wider team use.

  • Maintain task organisation in ClickUp: update statuses, deadlines, and priorities to ensure clarity and visibility.
  • Managing incoming requests.
