Join to apply for the Senior Visual Creative role at Our Media
Our Media is a leading special-interest content business, based in the buzzing, creative city of Bristol. We're home to market-leading brands in craft, cycling, science and nature, homes and music.
We help our audiences pursue their passions through highly trusted, original content – in print, video and online. Our much-loved brands include BBC Science Focus, BBC Wildlife Magazine, Your Home, Gathered.how, BikeRadar and Cycling Plus.
We also have an award-winning content agency that works with major charities, brands and membership organisations to help them tell their stories and engage audiences better – in print, video, and online.
Position:
We’re looking for a confident and versatile Senior Visual Creative with a blend of editorial design experience and digital design expertise. You’ll work across a dynamic portfolio of clients spanning nature, culture and leisure, designing beautiful, effective content for both print and digital platforms.
From elegant magazine layouts and immersive interactive storytelling to responsive UI/UX, social-first campaigns, and app or website interfaces, you’ll bring creative ideas to life with clarity, precision, and flair.
You’ll be an enthusiastic visual thinker, just as comfortable crafting typographic spreads as you are prototyping digital experiences.
You’ll also be expected to contribute to pitches and presentations, helping to shape ideas and communicate your thinking to clients and colleagues. Above all, you’ll bring an enquiring mind, creative thinking, an exceptional eye for detail, self-initiative, and the ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.
This is an ideal opportunity for a designer who is autonomous, curious, and proactive, and who takes pride in staying up to date with the latest design trends, tools, and technologies.
For a full list of responsibilities, please see the attached job description.
Requirements:
Essential
* Substantial experience designing and delivering creative work for brand clients
* A strong portfolio showcasing both editorial and digital design work, with examples of UI/UX, apps, websites, and magazine/editorial layouts
* Expert-level skills in Adobe Creative Cloud
* Strong proficiency in Figma and/or other prototyping tools such as Sketch or Adobe XD
* Experience creating for a wide range of audiences, including younger users
* A keen eye for layout, colour, typography, and visual hierarchy across formats
* Autonomous and proactive with excellent organisational and time management skills
* Experience presenting creative ideas to clients and stakeholders
* Familiarity with digital asset formatting, responsive design principles, and social-first thinking
* Some ability in After Effects and Premiere Pro for animation and motion design
* An enquiring mind, creative thinking, attention to detail, self-drive, and the ability to work collaboratively in a team
Desirable
* Experience with AI-based creative tools (e.g. Midjourney, Runway).
* Background in branded editorial or digital storytelling in an agency environment
