Junior Creative

The Company: We are a founder led and owned British heritage leather goods and accessories brand. Born 45 years ago we have been designers, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, and like our products, we hope we get better with age! Our creative and operational home is based in our converted stables in beautiful Hertfordshire parkland with our new Distribution Centre just 10 minutes away in Hemel Hempstead. Needless to say, we don’t stand still - watch this space or better still join us and make your mark.

The role: Reporting to the Senior Creative, we're looking for a talented and enthusiastic Junior Creative to join our small in-house design studio and help bring OSPREY LONDON to life across digital and print. This is a varied, hands-on role with real ownership. You'll take the lead on much of our day-to-day creative across email, organic social and content, while supporting larger campaigns, retail, packaging and wholesale projects. You'll need a great eye, strong design skills and the ability to produce quality creative at pace, with video editing skills a big plus.

Where: Based at our Head Office in Great Gaddesden and our Distribution Centre in Hemel Hempstead

Hours: Monday - Friday (37.5 hours per week)

• Content and video - Helping us make more from our content by editing photography and video into engaging assets for social, email and digital channels. You’ll have a good instinct for pace, framing and storytelling and be comfortable creating short-form edits from existing footage, as well as identifying opportunities to turn available content into something new.
• Bringing creative to life - You’ll support the production and delivery of creative across the business, including preparing artwork for print, adapting campaign assets, retouching imagery and creating digital assets across multiple formats.
