Senior Designer in England

We’re building a new in‑house creative team at Osborne Clarke to transform how we show up as a brand across our digital channels and flagship campaigns. As our Senior Designer, you’ll be instrumental in helping reshape our creative approach and driving the evolution of our digital brand, especially our global website. You’ll balance hands‑on design with creative stewardship, setting the bar for design quality, championing new ideas and managing a small team to deliver work that is distinctive, flexible and effective. This is a key role for someone who wants to help shape the future of a professional services brand, not just deliver it. We are happy for the role to be based in either our London or Bristol office with hybrid working.
