Senior Designer in London

The Senior Designer is responsible for creating distinctive, beautifully crafted work across a wide range of customer touchpoints, helping brands show up consistently and effectively wherever their customers encounter them. This is a hands-on senior design role, combining strong conceptual thinking with excellent creative craft. You’ll take briefs from initial idea through to final execution, creating work across campaigns, social, digital, CRM, content, print and physical environments. You’ll understand how to take a core creative idea or established brand identity and translate it intelligently across different formats and channels, adapting the work to suit the medium without losing what makes the idea or brand distinctive.

Working closely with Creative Directors, copywriters, strategists, social and production teams, you’ll play an important role in raising the creative standard of the work. You’ll be confident taking ownership of briefs, presenting your thinking and responding constructively to creative direction. Experience working with well-known B2C retail or consumer brands is important, alongside a strong understanding of contemporary design, social and culture.

What you'll be doing...

• Design & Creative Develop strong creative concepts and design solutions from initial brief through to final execution. Create beautifully crafted work with a sophisticated understanding of typography, composition, imagery, colour and visual storytelling. Work confidently within established brand identities while identifying opportunities to evolve and strengthen their visual expression. Translate creative concepts into compelling design across campaign, social, digital, CRM, content, print and physical/retail environments.
• Social & Digital Bring a strong understanding of social and digital design, including how creative needs to behave across different platforms, formats and customer touchpoints. Design work specifically for social environments rather than simply resizing or adapting campaign assets. Understand the principles of social-first content, including the importance of pace, format, visual storytelling and platform behaviours.
• Collaboration Take ownership of briefs and manage your work confidently from concept through to delivery. Present and articulate creative thinking clearly, both verbally and through well-crafted presentations. Work collaboratively with designers, copywriters, Creative Directors, strategists, social teams, producers and other specialists. Take creative direction positively and use feedback to make the work stronger.
