Digital & Print Designer (Part-Time)
Trading Post Coffee Roasters | Sussex (Brighton, Lewes, Chichester, Worthing, Horsham)
Contract: Part-time employed, 16 hours per week
Pay: Pro Rata - £35,000
Location: Hybrid remote — one day per month based at Trading Post HQ, remainder remote
The role
We're looking for a designer who can move comfortably between the practical, fast-turnaround world of in-store marketing and the more considered craft of print collateral and brand-led digital work.
This is a broad, hands-on design role covering both digital and print. You'll work directly with our marketing team on ad-hoc briefs, so no two weeks look quite the same. We're growing, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us; not just executing briefs, but helping shape how our brand looks and feels as we open new sites and expand our wholesale trade.
Typical projects include:
- In-store & POS design: menu boards, window decals, counter cards, seasonal promotional signage across our coffee houses
- Ecommerce & digital design: web banners, product imagery, email graphics, social assets for our online shop and marketing channels
- Brochures & collateral: wholesale trade brochures, venue hire brochures, and general marketing collateral that needs to hold its own printed and look considered, not templated
- New product development: labels, tags, and packaging elements for new coffee and retail product launches, working within (and helping evolve) our brand guidelines
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for
- A strong portfolio spanning both print and digital work: someone who's genuinely comfortable moving between formats
- Confidence with Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) as a minimum; Canva experience is useful for quick-turnaround requests
- Understanding of print production — finishes, paper stocks, print-ready files — for brochure and label work
- Ability to work independently against a brief, manage your own time, and turn around ad-hoc requests without heavy hand-holding
- Comfortable working to brand guidelines while still bringing ideas to the table
- A genuine self-starter — someone who takes ownership of briefs, spots opportunities we haven't thought of, and helps evolve our brand as the business grows, rather than waiting to be told exactly what to do
Bonus points for:
- Experience designing for hospitality, food & beverage, or coffee businesses specifically
- A genuine interest in coffee or hospitality culture — you don't need to be a coffee obsessive, but an understanding of the sector helps
- Experience with wholesale or trade-facing collateral (not just consumer-facing)
- Basic web/ecommerce platform familiarity (e.g. Shopify or WordPress asset preparation)

Hours & structure
This is a part-time employed role, 16 hours per week, with days/hours arranged flexibly around the right candidate's availability and our briefing cycle.
The role is hybrid remote — most work can be done from home, but we'd like one day per month based at Trading Post HQ, getting hands-on with print proofs, POS placement, and general brand context, and sitting in on marketing catch-ups.
Some projects will be planned well in advance (seasonal brochures, NPD launches); others will be genuinely ad-hoc, so reliable turnaround and clear availability across your contracted hours matter more than a rigid schedule.
To apply
Please send a portfolio link along with your salary expectations (pro-rata for 16 hours/week). Let us know your general availability. We'd love to hear briefly about any hospitality, F&B, or coffee-sector experience you have, even if design wasn't the primary focus of that work.
