Inlights.io – Manchester (Hybrid: 2 days in studio, 3 days WFH)
Design and build personalised email campaigns for some of the UK’s biggest brands. We turn customer data into personalised images, animations and campaign assets, built specifically for email and CRM. Our work appears in inboxes for brands including Dr.
We’re looking for an Email Designer & Developer who can both design emails and build them in HTML. This is a hands-on role, and the HTML side is just as important as the design side. Initially, the focus will be on templating and HTML email builds.
- Building HTML emails using table-based layouts across a range of ESPs
- Designing email layouts, campaign assets and production-ready email creative across multiple clients and brands
- Creating personalised hero images and name-in-scene visuals in Photoshop including animated GIFs optimised for email clients
- Uploading, editing and testing campaigns in different ESP environments
- Checking emails for rendering, links, spelling, layout issues and brand consistency
- Adapting designs to fit different brand guidelines across a varied client base
- Making amends based on feedback while keeping work accurate and on-brand
Experience designing emails or digital campaign assets:
- Working knowledge of HTML email development, specifically table-based layouts and email client constraints
- Strong Photoshop skills with the ability to create animated GIFs
- A portfolio showing email work, digital design work or HTML email builds
- Good attention to detail across layout, typography, links, QA and brand consistency
- Knowledge of smart objects and actions in Photoshop
- Any exposure to personalisation or dynamic content in email
- Agency experience or experience working across more than one brand
We’re not expecting someone who knows everything, but we do need someone with real hands-on experience of designing and coding emails. This is not a senior creative strategy role. You won’t be leading brand decisions or owning client relationships from day one. It is also not a pure design role. You’ll need to be comfortable building emails in HTML, testing them and working inside different ESPs.
Your work will be seen in real inboxes, for real brands. Opportunity to develop specialist skills in email design, HTML development and personalised image production.
