What will your day look like? As our new Designer, you will work on CRM and loyalty projects for several global clients, as well as digital experiences that meet their business objectives and lofty ambitions. Your primary job will be to create creative content in various forms with tasks that include:

• Creating content assets for templates within existing design guidelines

But your job will also be to support conceptualising engaging consumer‑facing digital experiences, including:

• Brainstorming with other creatives, or on your own
• Seeing and visualising the complete picture – from first click to loyal consumer
• Playing an active role in projects, from initial idea generation to execution and approval – closely liaising with Experience Strategists, Account Directors, Consultants and more
