The Role
At Papier, our Senior Stationery Designer creates trend-setting, design-led stationery products that bring our creative vision to life across both our D2C and wholesale collections.

You'll be proactive, full of ideas and excited to help shape the future of our product ranges. As a senior member of the team, you'll inspire those around you through creative leadership, coaching and consistently high-quality design.
Working closely with the Stationery Design Manager, you'll play a key role in shaping Papier's seasonal creative direction and continuing to establish the brand as a global leader in premium stationery.
