ABOUT YOU
We're looking for a designer with strong craft, taste and attention to detail who understands how design can build a premium brand. You'll be comfortable working across both brand and performance focused creative, knowing when to protect the original creative idea and when to adapt it for a specific channel. You are curious about fashion, culture, music, art and contemporary design, with a strong awareness of what is happening within the wider creative landscape.
You’ll also be:
- Experienced working within fashion, footwear, retail, DTC or consumer brands.
- Highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- You consistently produce high quality, considered design that feels unmistakably Cleens.
- Campaign creative is translated seamlessly across web, social, paid media and wider DTC touch points.
- Paid advertising outputs feel creative and brand led, rather than purely performance driven.
