WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

You’ll know you’re making an impact when the quality and consistency of our design work keeps getting stronger; designers are developing greater confidence, capability and ownership; projects are delivered reliably; and clients and colleagues increasingly see Design as a trusted creative partner.

Most importantly, your impact won’t only be visible in the work you personally create. It will be visible in the quality of work the whole team is able to produce.

THE ONE THING

Raise the quality of design while building the capability of the designers around you, so Design consistently contributes exceptional work to client and business success.

WHAT YOU GET

• Competitive pay and reward — Your role is benchmarked against the external market, with a clear salary band and opportunities to grow your reward as your impact, capability and contribution develop.
• Bonus opportunity — Eligible Quadmarkers can participate in our discretionary bonus programme, which recognises both company performance and individual contribution. The standard bonus target is 10% of base salary for eligible employees.
• Flexible, remote-first working, with offsites too — Work from wherever you do your best thinking. Life happens, and if you need to flex, we’ll always aim to support that. Quarterly in-person team days help keep the relationships real.
• Travel insurance — We believe in the importance of face-to-face time and want you to be able to spend time with colleagues and clients when you need to.
• Private Medical Insurance — In the UK, we partner with Vitality, with health and life cover alongside rewards designed to help you stay healthy.
• EAP and mental health support — Access to a confidential Employee Assistance Programme and mental health resources.
• Enhanced leave — Our leave offering is enhanced beyond statutory requirements depending on location. In the UK, that means 25 days’ annual leave, plus three additional paid days when we shut down over the holidays.

LIFE AT QUADMARK

We care about what you achieve, how you achieve it and how you continue to grow.

Our CORE values shape how we work together: Choose to Learn, Own It, Respect Others and Elevate the Team.

For a Design Lead, that means staying curious and open to new ideas, taking ownership of delivery and quality, communicating with clarity and kindness, and creating the conditions for other people to succeed.

If you’re excited by the idea of combining excellent design craft with creative direction, client collaboration and people leadership, we’d love to hear from you.
