About Medly AI
We're the fastest growing EdTech startup in London, on a mission to change education forever. This is a moment where AI-native companies are reshaping entire industries. Medly is building that company for education. Since launch, we've reached over 400,000 students with retention rates that beat Duolingo, and we've delivered personalised learning with real results. We're backed by impact-focused VCs and supported by partners including UCL, Innovate UK, Microsoft, and Google.
The role
We're looking for a Junior Graphic Designer to join our London team, full-time and on-site. You'll work directly alongside our founders, our designers, and our engineering and growth teams, designing across both product and marketing. This is a genuinely broad role. One day you're designing UI for a feature that hundreds of thousands of students will use, the next you're producing campaign assets, social creative, and brand collateral. You'll be the person who makes everything Medly puts into the world look considered and consistent.
What you'll do
- Design UI for new and existing features in our learning app, working closely with product and engineering
- Produce marketing and brand assets - social, paid creative, landing pages, decks, print, merch, event and partner collateral
- Work within our existing brand and design system in Figma, and help extend and maintain it
- Take briefs from rough idea to finished, production-ready artwork, at pace
- Develop our visual identity over time - typography, colour, illustration, iconography, and the rules that hold it together
- Adapt and scale designs across formats, platforms, and sizes without losing the detail
- Take feedback from the team, users, and performance data, and use it to make the work better
What we're looking for
- A portfolio of graphic, brand, or visual design work that shows genuine taste - considered layout, typography, colour, and attention to detail
- A degree (completed or in progress) from a leading university
- Recent graduate, or up to around 2 years of experience
- Strong fundamentals - hierarchy, grid, type, colour, and composition
- Confident in Figma, and comfortable in the Adobe suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) or equivalent
- Genuinely keen to learn fast and take feedback well
Bonus points
- Both digital product UI and brand/marketing work in the same portfolio
- Experience contributing to a brand identity or design system
- Illustration, iconography, or motion skills
- A little front-end knowledge (HTML/CSS) or comfort working closely with engineers
- Freelance clients with a recognisable name or a real bar for quality
- B2C, app, or consumer brand work
Who thrives here
You care about quality and take pride in work that holds up under scrutiny. You have a point of view on what good design looks like, and can defend it. You work fast without letting the craft slip. Happy to take initiative. If something looks off, you flag it or fix it. Comfortable in a startup environment. Things move very quickly and priorities shift often.
What you'll get
Mentorship from our designers and direct work with our founders. On-site in our central London office, as part of a close-knit team. The chance to shape how a product used by hundreds of thousands of students looks and feels. A team that takes your ideas seriously and ships them. Real ownership and room to grow quickly, including into brand identity ownership.
