Midweight Designer

£28-£35k (DOE) 

Independent, new branding and digital agency are looking for a midweight designer to join their growing team. Now a team of 25, they are a passionate family of designers, writers, strategists, and developers who truly care about what they do. 

About the role 

Our client is looking for a designer with 2+ years of experience, ideally with a history in brand creation. You'll be working on projects spanning a wide range of disciplines, being exposed to design challenges across brand, campaign, and digital. The work is ideas-based and strategic, so your primary job will be to own and push projects forwards — with brilliant creative ideas, amazing design and craft skills, and clear, rational thinking. 

This is an integral role in this tight-nit, busy team — both reporting directly to the creative director as well as managing a small team of more junior designers. You'll also be involved in the day-to-day operation of the business, with the potential to make a real impact as they grow. 

You'll be expected to... 

deliver ideas & concepts that combine a creative and strategic understanding 

think beyond the logo, providing well-rounded brand identity systems 

see challenges as opportunities. 

think digitally, creating brands that feel as much at home online as they do in print 

have an eye for detail, with solid craftsmanship and technical understanding 

be great at organizing and prioritizing your workload 

effectively collaborate with clients and team members 

be an excellent communicator, articulating your ideas with clarity and confidence 

Main requirements

2+ years of experience (preferably with brand-led creative agencies) 

A portfolio full of strong conceptual ideas that are executed to the highest standard 

A passion for all things branding and digital 

A high level of accuracy and an obsessive attention to detail 

A positive, proactive, can-do attitude 

Knowledge of print and digital design best practices (animation is a big bonus) 

Awareness of current design trends and new ways of working 

Excellent communication skills 

A proactive appetite for learning new skills 

Culture

As a small but rapidly growing team, culture is important. Our client believes in building a diverse and inclusive team, underpinned by values of creativity, integrity, and care. The studio is small and fast-paced so you'll need a good sense of humour, an open mind, and the ambition to help create a world-class design standard.  

Benefits 

Competitive salary (based on experience) 

Generous holidays 

Generous, personal health & wellness package 

Quarterly wellness workshops  

Will match charity fundraising efforts   

Join a fast-growing and exciting start-up with excellent growth opportunities 

Working with a fun, highly-motivated team where there's never a dull moment 

Please note that although we do have a flexible working policy the agency would like this Midweight Designer to be in the studio at least two days a week (at your choosing).
