Digital Designer in Exeter

Are you a Digital Designer with a passion for brand systems that empower others? We're looking for someone to bring our brand to life across digital channels, creating assets, tools and resources that make great design accessible to everyone at the Guild.

Our digital presence is how students find us, connect with us and understand what we stand for.

We think this role could be a great fit for someone who loves the craft of digital design as much as the systems behind it, whether you're building your portfolio across a varied and meaningful remit, or bringing existing experience into a role with real ownership and creative scope. You will have the flexibility to work from home for part of the week, as well as the opportunity to work with our diverse teams on the beautiful Exeter University campuses.

• You'll be comfortable working collaboratively within a brand system, using established guidelines to deliver consistent and creative digital design across multiple channels.
• You know how to use digital design to connect with an audience whether that's through scroll-stopping social content, clear digital signage, or self-serve tools that make others feel confident using the brand.

We offer lots of great benefits including enhanced family pay, a huge 27 days’ annual leave plus public holidays, sustainable travel incentives, access to exclusive discounts and perks and a free confidential advice service. We’re committed to helping you achieve a healthy balance between your work and home life through a real commitment to flexible and hybrid working.
