Mid Weight Designer

We're looking for a talented and versatile Mid-Weight Designer to join the Olivia Burton creative team. This is a varied, hands-on role for someone who loves design but doesn't want to be limited to one creative discipline. You'll work across everything from graphic design and campaign development to digital content, retail, brand identity and photoshoots, with the opportunity to broaden your experience and develop your skills in areas such as creative concepting and art direction.

We're looking for someone who is a great team player, adaptable, curious and keen to grow. You'll be comfortable taking ownership of your work, but equally happy collaborating, responding to feedback and jumping into different projects when the team needs support.

• Translate initial concepts into cohesive creative executions across multiple channels and formats.
• Create engaging social-first content across key platforms, using a mix of graphic design, video editing, GIFs, motion and AI creative tools to develop dynamic, brand-relevant content.
• Support the creative concepting, planning and art direction of still-life and model photoshoots, with the opportunity to take greater ownership as your experience develops.
• Work collaboratively with the wider Creative, Marketing, Product Development and Digital teams.
• Research emerging design, fashion, jewellery and cultural trends, bringing relevant inspiration and new ideas into the team.
• Create mood boards, concepts and creative presentations and confidently communicate your thinking to internal teams and senior stakeholders.
• Balance creativity with commercial thinking, considering how design can support the brand, customer experience and ultimately drive engagement and sales.
• Manage multiple projects and priorities, communicating clearly around timings, deadlines and potential challenges.
• Be willing to get involved beyond your core responsibilities, trying new creative disciplines and supporting the team wherever needed.
