We're looking for a craft-led designer who is up to date with best practice principles for digital, social and print. You'll have a strong grasp of emerging design trends, generative AI, and brand storytelling—and a passion for crafting beautifully executed creative. If you can bring ideas to life across multiple channels while enjoying working across a broad range of B2C brands, this role would suit you. Experience across retail clients is essential.

Time Management:

• Plan and manage your workload effectively to meet agreed deadlines and budget expectations, communicating proactively if challenges arise.

Process & Efficiency:

• Work in line with established workflows—accurately estimating time, meeting deadlines, and completing timesheets as required.

Trend Awareness:

• Stay curious and informed about the latest design trends, tools, and technologies, bringing fresh thinking and innovation to the team.

Artworking and quality control:

• Produce and check artwork to ensure accuracy, consistency and adherence to brand guidelines, technical specifications and production requirements across all channels.

Requirements:

• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially InDesign, Photoshop, Firefly and Illustrator. Figma skills a bonus.
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team.
• Confident communication skills, both verbal and written, with experience presenting ideas clearly.
• Excellent time‑management skills and the ability to flag challenges early when deadlines or workloads shift.
• A sense of ownership over your creative output, seeking feedback at the right moments to elevate the work.

Benefits:

• Time off that works for you — 25 days' holiday + bank holidays, a paid Wellbeing Day, flexible bank holidays to honour cultural or religious observances, and the option to buy or carry over up to 5 extra days.
• Flexibility & lifestyle — Smart Working with up to 40% from home, and after 12 months, the option to work from abroad for up to 90 days a year.
