Junior Graphic Designer
Housr | Manchester | Full time
Location: Manchester city centre, four days per week in the office, with Thursday normally from home
Contract type: Full time
Reporting to: Global Head of Marketing, with a dotted line into the Graphic Designer
Working hours: Standard UK hours, with occasional flexibility to work a later shift such as 11.30am to 7.30pm for US collaboration or campaign needs
The role
We're looking for a talented and enthusiastic Junior Graphic Designer to join Housr's global creative and marketing team. Based in our Manchester city centre office four days a week, with work from home on Thursdays, you'll play a key role in supporting our global brand marketing across the UK and US. A particular focus will be creating design material for university students and college partnerships in the US market.
Your work will span direct-to-student creative and materials that support our B2B relationships with universities, property partners and brand partners. Given the US focus, there may occasionally be a need to work later hours, such as 11.30am to 7.30pm, to create more overlap with the US team during busy campaign periods. This will be infrequent and planned in advance.
The day to day
- Executing creative briefs: Produce high-quality graphic assets for print and digital media, following Housr's global brand guidelines.
- Designing for online and offline channels: Create engaging designs for formats including digital on-campus screens, posters, flyers, social graphics and banners.
- Supporting B2B and partnership materials: Review and polish pitch decks, partnership presentations and sales collateral for university and institutional stakeholders, ensuring a consistent and professional finish.
- Producing event and outreach collateral: Create materials for university outreach, education fairs, conferences and partnership events, including booth graphics, printed handouts and digital assets.
- Collaborating with the team: Work closely with the global marketing team, Graphic Designer and Product Designer to deliver strong, consistent work.
- Using design software: Work primarily in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, producing all designs to a professional standard.
- Motion graphics: Experience is not essential, but would be useful.
