product launches, brand, activations, print, large format etc).

As a collaborative role, you’ll be a great communicator, working with Sleek’s creative

and design team and the wider events team to deliver authentic, imaginative designs

that transform spaces and content into impactful brand experiences. You will be a

key member of the design team and as such will be comfortable briefing and

collaborating with our extended freelance family. You will also work closely with the

creative director and creative leads, collaborating on art direction.

could be for both live events, pitch work and internal Sleek work.

• Responding to briefs with considered creative concepts which you bring to life

through quick mood, AI generated, sketch and art direction.

• Developing designs that reflect customer and visitor journeys, understanding

• Delivering innovative, fun and well-executed design work that pushes

boundaries within our clients’ brand guidelines and allows you to flex your

creative skills.

• Producing high quality work that not only meets the brief but takes it to new

heights where possible.

• Being proud of your work and representing Sleek by producing first class

content.

• Living and breathing the client and internal guidelines ensuring all output

meets deadlines, budgets and briefs.

proud of.

versions are filed efficiently.

• Day to day management of workload across a broad range of projects and

deadlines, able to work on numerous projects simultaneously, ensuring

standards are maintained at all times and helping to make timescales clear.

• Building strong relationships within the wider team through regular and clear
