Our client is looking for a Mid-level Branding Designer to join their team in their London HQ.
This is one of the most exciting ‘hands on’ creative roles at the business
Your primary job is to create branding for projects of all sizes—often more than one at the same time — and generally ones that are big, complex & important.
What the role will look like
* You’ll be responsible for design not just graphic, and you should be brilliant at inspiring and organising your work
* You’ll be a dedicated designer who wants to grow as a team member and design professional
* Your design work will set a high bar and be an example of world-class thinking and creativity
* You’ll need to see the bigger strategic picture, understand clients’ worlds, and be persuasive!
* You’ll be expected to make creative calls on projects — so your judgment and decision-making skills should be excellent
* You will contribute to large-scale pitches — this is often fast, but great fun. So speed, as ever, is an advantage.
* With the wider team of Designers & Directors, you will fuel the creative voice of the agency.
What your background might look like
* You can come from any design background, but you will excel if you are a strategic thinker — your core disciplines of graphic design and all that it covers are central to success but so is a pro-active approach and inquisitive mind.
* BA / MA degree in design
* You’ll have some experience creating, recreating and managing visual, verbal and strategic branding projects, more senior roles = more experience required.
What you’ll be like to work with
* You’re thoughtful and have a clear point of view
* You’re committed and pretty confident (but never cocky)
* You have high expectations of yourself and others
* You’re mature and perceptive—able to ‘read’ a room and evaluate complex situations
* You’re cross-disciplinary by nature—you have a diverse background, but also believe the strongest work benefits from new and different perspectives
* You’re a great problem solver, with the judgment, experience and decisiveness to make things happen
* You’re generous and able to share ownership
* You’re open minded, flexible, and not precious or protective about the work
* You’re relentlessly energetic and positive, up for any challenge
Your experience and knowledge
A brilliant creative and strategic thinker who can see how creativity can solve business problems.
* A designer interested in not just making beautiful visual work, but work that shapes products and experiences for people
* A forward-thinker that pushes the status quo.
* A great planner who constantly thinks ahead about the needs of the team, the project, and the client — able to prioritise and understand resourcing needs
* An agile player who is resourceful and can keep up with dynamic and fast-moving engagements
* A strong designer and thinker who can provide insight, encouragement, and constructive input to teams
* A team leader who can work seamlessly and provide insight and direction with strategists, writers, and program managers
