Graphic Designer

Based in our Bristol Head Office - 40 hours per week. At Turtle Bay, we're all about bringing the spirit of the Caribbean to life. From the moment someone sees one of our campaigns to the second they walk through our doors, we want them to feel the energy, colour and good vibes that make Turtle Bay different.

This isn't just about creating beautiful designs. We're looking for someone who understands the "why" behind every project. Someone who thinks commercially, loves solving creative problems, and creates work that inspires people to book a table, engage with our brand and fall in love with Turtle Bay.

You’ll be part of a small, collaborative marketing team where ideas are welcomed, creativity is encouraged, and no two days are the same. Things move quickly here, so you'll need to be adaptable, organised and happy to switch priorities when needed.

If you're someone who loves bringing fresh ideas to life, enjoys collaborating with others and wants to make a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

• You’ll create engaging, on-brand design across both digital and print, helping bring our campaigns, restaurants and people to life.
• Your work will include:
• Designing campaigns across digital and print
• Creating menus, POS, packaging and restaurant artwork
• Designing email graphics and marketing assets
• Supporting website content and campaign updates
• Creating illustrations, infographics and internal communications
• Producing artwork for events, promotions and local marketing activity
• Managing our brand assets and ensuring brand consistency across every touchpoint
• Working closely with external suppliers to deliver print-ready artwork
• Visiting restaurants and supporting launches, openings and marketing events where required

Digital & Multimedia

• Social media graphics
• Simple animations and motion graphics
• Photography and visual content
• Digital marketing assets
• Internal communications
• Campaign support alongside our Digital Marketing Manager

Social Media

• You’ll help bring our social channels to life by:
• Creating photo and video content
• Supporting campaign ideas
• Scheduling and posting content
• Keeping up with digital trends and new creative opportunities

Website

• You’ll support our website by:
• Updating campaign content and imagery
• Creating blogs and visual assets
• Suggesting improvements to improve customer experience
• Supporting email and website updates

Basic HTML knowledge is a bonus, but if you're keen to learn, we'll support you.

Menu Design

• Menus are one of the biggest expressions of our brand. You’ll:
• Design menu layouts and artwork
• Create mock-ups for new launches
• Work with print suppliers
• Support menu planning alongside our Marketing Director

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who's creative, commercially aware and full of ideas. You’ll be just as comfortable designing a menu as you are creating an Instagram Reel or producing campaign artwork. You enjoy collaborating with people, aren't afraid to challenge a brief and love finding better ways of doing things.

You’ll also have:

• A strong portfolio showcasing both digital and print design
• Experience working across multiple projects and deadlines
• Strong attention to detail
• The ability to balance creativity with commercial thinking

We’d love it if you are...

• Fast and adaptable: Things move quickly here. Priorities change and campaigns evolve, so you’ll be someone who can stay organised, remain calm and keep projects moving.
• Commercially minded: You understand that great design delivers results. You think beyond making something look good and consider how your work will drive bookings, engagement and brand awareness.
• A creative thinker: You’re not someone who simply follows a brief. You bring ideas, challenge thinking and enjoy finding fresh ways to keep Turtle Bay exciting whilst staying true to our brand.
• Comfortable with motion: Experience creating simple animations, editing short-form video and bringing campaigns to life through motion graphics would be a real advantage.
• Confident and collaborative: You’ll happily ask "What if we tried this instead?" and enjoy working closely with the wider marketing team. You’re proactive, approachable and thrive in a collaborative environment.

Nice to have

While not essential, we’d love experience in:

• AI design tools and creative workflows
• Basic HTML for websites and email marketing
• Photography or content creation

The practical bits

• Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Monday to Friday
• Based at our Bristol Head Office
• Reporting to our Marketing Director, working closely with our Digital Marketing Manager
• Occasional evening or weekend work for launches and events

Why Turtle Bay?

We're a brand full of personality, colour and creativity, and we're looking for someone who wants to be part of that. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys working with people, loves bouncing ideas around a room and wants to see their work making a real impact across a growing hospitality brand.
