SENIOR DESIGNER
Permanent | Hybrid (Central London) | Up to £60K
About the Role:
We're partnering with a creative agency to recruit an experienced Senior Designer to join their collaborative creative team.
This is an opportunity for a designer who thrives on developing strong creative ideas, shaping visual direction and delivering exceptional work across a variety of channels. You'll play a key role in bringing concepts to life, working across digital, social, branding, campaigns and print, while collaborating with strategists, writers, creatives and video specialists.
You're looking for someone who is confident taking ownership of projects from concept through to delivery. You'll be comfortable working from both well-defined briefs and more open creative challenges, helping to shape ideas, influence design direction and articulate the thinking behind your work.
Digital sits at the heart of the team's output, so you'll have a strong understanding of social-first design and know how creative needs to evolve across different platforms and audiences. Alongside this, you'll enjoy creating presentations, brand identities, campaign assets and beautifully crafted publications.
This role would suit a highly conceptual designer who enjoys variety, takes pride in exceptional craft and is excited by emerging technologies, including AI, as part of the creative process.
What You'll Do:
- Develop creative concepts, visual identities and design systems across a wide range of projects.
- Create engaging social-first content for multiple digital platforms.
- Design campaign assets across digital, social and out-of-home media.
- Produce polished presentations and pitch decks in PowerPoint and Google Slides.
- Build presentation templates and scalable design systems for wider team use.
- Design reports, brochures, publications and other long-form collateral.
- Translate loose briefs into thoughtful, visually compelling creative solutions.
- Develop mock-ups and visual routes that help communicate and sell creative ideas.
- Adapt creative concepts seamlessly across multiple formats while maintaining consistency.
- Confidently present and articulate your creative thinking to colleagues and stakeholders.
- Collaborate with writers, strategists, creatives and video specialists to deliver integrated campaigns.
- Provide guidance and support to other designers on design best practice, technical execution and creative standards where required.
- Manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
- Explore AI-powered creative tools to enhance ideation, production and workflow efficiencies.
- Continue developing your craft by embracing new technologies, tools and creative techniques.
