Graphic Designer in Slough

ROCKWOOL Racing is a professional sailing team competing for American Magic and Denmark. Recognised as one of the greenest sports teams worldwide, the team places a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental impact. Joining ROCKWOOL Racing means contributing to a high-performance, mission-driven sports organisation with international visibility and reach.

ROLE CONTEXT

The craft layer of the platform makes everything an audience, partner, or guest sees look like a world-class operation. In elite-sport commercial engines, design isn't decoration: it's what makes a deck win or lose a partner and ensures the platform looks unified and premium.

PURPOSE

To create and maintain a premium visual identity across the platform ecosystem, ensuring every partner-facing, guest-facing and audience-facing asset reflects a world-class standard. To be the day-one creative engine that carries the established ROCKWOOL Racing visual system into the world across every surface, from social to the Tech Base to the pitch deck.

THE BREADTH OF THE ROLE

This role spans the full creative output of the platform: brand execution and identity, campaign creative, social graphics, partnership proposals and sales presentations, reporting design, hospitality materials, print and event branding. It owns the craft while Social & Comms owns the channels.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Brand execution. Deliver visual-identity implementation, asset development, campaign creative and event collateral on brand and on time.
• Commercial support. Produce partnership proposals, sales presentations, reporting design and hospitality materials to a standard that lifts the proposition and improves conversion.
• Content production. Create social graphics, digital assets, print materials and event branding for the channels Social & Comms publishes; turn around event capture at pace.
• Brand custodianship. Apply and protect the visual identity system across all touchpoints and partner co-brands to maintain consistency.

PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT & STANDARDS

• Represents ROCKWOOL Racing, American Magic and the team's partners to the highest professional standard always, on-site, online and in private, the brand is judged by the conduct of the people who carry it.
• Operates with absolute discretion and confidentiality around commercial, sporting, partner and personal information; signs and honours NDA and data-handling obligations.
• Holds themselves to the same performance, accountability and substantiation standards as the athletes do what they say, flags problems early, and never over-promises what cannot be delivered.
• Works collaboratively across a small, high-trust team; no role is an island, and ego is left at the dock.
• Protects the brand's visual integrity under deadline pressure, never lets standards slip because something is urgent, because every asset represents the team.

ENGAGEMENT BASIS & COMMITMENT

This is a contractor engagement, with the clear intention to extend as the platform scales. The successful candidate operates as an independent contractor, responsible for their own tax and statutory obligations, and is engaged under a defined contract for services with agreed deliverables, standards, and notice terms. Design in live sport means fast turnarounds and real deadlines, proposals needed overnight, event content turned around in hours. The role rewards a designer who wants their work on a global stage and ownership of a premium brand.

• Background Graphic / brand design in sport, premium consumer or agency environments.
• Discipline Fast, high-quality production across digital, print and presentation, on a defined identity system.
• Character Premium eye; makes a deck or a base look like a championship operation.
