Job Overview

We are currently recruiting for Graphic Designer to join our passionate and driven bid team based at our Office in Ipswich.

We’re seeking an individual with creativity and the ability to craft at the highest level. You love typography and enjoy discussing the nuances of kerning and leading as much as you do page layouts, margins and the onset of AI-aided design.

Captivating (and motivating) target audiences through effective design is augmented by accuracy and consistency, which are fundamental requirements for the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with bid managers, subject matter experts, and other stakeholders to understand bid requirements and develop design concepts that align with OCS branding guidelines and customers’ expectations.
• Design and produce a wide range of bid support materials, including but not limited to proposal templates, presentations, infographics, charts, diagrams, and digital assets.
• Translate technical information and data into visually appealing graphics and illustrations that effectively convey key messages and differentiate OCS from competitors.

• Above all, you’re proven to execute, get things done and make things happen; you’re considered, taking the time required to research and assess complete information – and above all, you’re a doer, continually seeking ways to do things better and deliver the best outcomes for your colleagues, customers and communities.
