About Crushed Ice
Join the team at Crushed Ice, a growing bespoke software and IT services company based in Olney, Buckinghamshire. We've recently relocated to expand our operations and take on exciting new projects that solve real business challenges for SMEs and enterprises across the UK.
What makes us different? We believe in building lasting relationships with our clients, not just delivering a service. Our unique all-inclusive monthly fee model makes bespoke solutions accessible to businesses of all sizes, and our "no-ticket" support philosophy means you'll work directly with clients - essentially as an extended member of their team. We specialise in custom business management systems, seamless integrations, mobile apps, e-commerce platforms, and managed IT support that genuinely transforms how our clients operate.
The Role
We're looking for a talented Graphic Designer to take ownership of the visual side of our work. This is a genuinely varied role - one week you might be designing the interface for a bespoke business system, the next you could be developing a brand identity from scratch or producing a campaign's worth of marketing imagery.
You'll work closely with our development team and directly with clients, which means your design decisions get built and shipped rather than sitting in a folder. If you like having a genuine impact, seeing your work go live and want real variety across projects and industries, this will suit you well.
Key Responsibilities
- Design website and web application interfaces, working alongside our developers to bring them to life
- Create logos and develop complete brand identities for new and existing clients
- Produce brand guidelines and maintain visual consistency across client projects
- Design marketing imagery for digital campaigns, social media, and print
- Produce assets for mobile applications and e-commerce platforms
- Work directly with clients to understand their requirements and present design concepts
- Contribute to our own brand, website, and marketing materials
- Manage multiple projects and work to agreed deadlines

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.
