Designer / Graphic Designer in London

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.

We're looking for a Graphic Designer to join our London team, full-time and on-site. 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. As you grow, you'll take on more ownership of our brand identity itself - the type, colour, illustration, iconography, and visual rules that define how Medly looks and feels everywhere.

• 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.
• Develop our visual identity over time - typography, colour, illustration, iconography, and the rules that hold it together.
• Take feedback from the team, users, and performance data, and use it to make the work better.

Requirements:

• A portfolio of graphic, brand, or visual design work (academic, personal, freelance, or placement all count) that shows genuine taste - considered layout, typography, colour, and attention to detail.
• A degree (completed or in progress) from a leading university - we weight academic strength heavily, and especially like hybrid backgrounds where design sits alongside a rigorous subject.
• Recent graduate, or up to around 3 years of experience.
• Freelance or client work done alongside study or early in your career - it tells us you can take a brief, work to a deadline, and ship.
• Confident in Figma, and comfortable in the Adobe suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) or equivalent.

Bonus points:

• Both digital product UI and brand/marketing work in the same portfolio.
• Experience contributing to a brand identity or design system, not just individual assets.
• Illustration, iconography, or motion (After Effects, Rive, Lottie) 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.
• 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.

Things move very quickly and priorities shift often. 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.
