Overview:

As Senior Designer, you will cover our current Senior Designer who will be on maternity leave. You will play a critical role in shaping how Benchmark communicates complex, data-rich insights to a global audience. Sitting within the Marketing & Design Division, you will be the sole designer and work creatively within our existing design function. You will collaborate with cross-divisional stakeholders including Marketing, Product, Technology, Events, Sales, Editorial and Leadership.

This role requires a mix of high-level strategic thinking and hands-on creative design work. You will define and elevate our visual identity and own delivery of high-impact design initiatives across digital, print, product and events. You’ll run the creative vision for Benchmark’s brand, translate complex datasets into compelling visual narratives, and ensure world-class design standards company-wide.

This is an ideal role for a designer who is passionate about data storytelling, thrives in fast-paced environments where you are the only design voice in the company, and someone who is excited to shape the next evolution of a global brand in a rapidly scaling sector.

• Lead the design execution for strategic, high-visibility projects — from concept to final delivery.
• Work closely with Technology/Product teams on UI/UX visual consistency using Figma and Zeplin.
• Review and give feedback on design work at all stages, ensuring everything is polished, professional and aligned to brand standards.
• Ensure all files are properly prepared and optimised for both digital and print production.
• Maintain all design documentation, brand guidelines and reference materials, updating as needed.

• Strong understanding of digital and print production processes.
• Excellent grasp of typography, colour theory, layout and core design principles.
• Strong data literacy and ability to translate complex data into compelling visual formats.
