Job Description
Senior Designer Wanted – Big Ideas, Bigger Impact
Looking for your next big creative move?
We’re working with an award-winning Leeds-based creative agency that’s at a pivotal point of growth — and they’re looking for a Senior Designer to lead and inspire across brand, digital, and campaign projects.
With decades of success, a loyal client base, and a team that thrives on bold ideas, this agency is ready to level up — and they need someone who can bring strategic design thinking, creative excellence, and a collaborative spirit to the table.
The Role:
You’ll be working closely with the Head of Studio and Creative Director to shape the creative direction of the agency’s output. This is a hands-on design role with strategic weight — perfect for a conceptual thinker who’s as confident crafting campaigns as they are mentoring more junior creatives.
Expect to:
* Lead the design process across print, digital, campaign, and branding projects.
* Translate complex client briefs into compelling, effective visual solutions.
* Collaborate with account teams and clients to ensure every creative touchpoint hits the mark.
* Pitch ideas internally and externally — you're confident presenting and selling in your vision.
* Stay ahead of creative trends, pushing the agency's offering forward with fresh ideas.
* Take ownership of key accounts, guiding design output and maintaining quality and consistency.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For:
* 5+ years in a creative agency or fast-paced in-house team.
* A standout portfolio showing brand identity, campaign work, and digital design.
* Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign as a minimum).
* Strong conceptual and strategic design ability.
* Experience mentoring or guiding junior/midweight designers.
* Confident client communicator — you're persuasive, personable, and collaborative.
* Strong understanding of commercial creative: you know how design drives results.
Benefits
What’s In It for You?
* Salary: £35,000 – £42,000 DOE
* Clear career progression with leadership potential
* Sociable studio environment with regular team events
* 5pm Friday finishes (with drinks in the studio!)
* Work/life balance championed
* Hybrid working options considered
Sound like you?
If you're ready to join a bold, strategic, and creative team that values big thinking and exceptional craft — we’d love to see your portfolio.
