As a multi-disciplined Midweight Designer, your primary role is to respond to creative briefs, creating quality designs, delivering work with exceptional design and craft skills and a good knowledge of artworking for print (brochure layout, press ads, OOH). Working in collaboration with the wider creative team, you will be responsible for ensuring our creative work and service meets the needs and expectations of our clients.

You will have a strong and varied portfolio showcasing skills as a creative across print, digital, and social (motion graphics or video editing experience would be an advantage).
