Your role
Reporting to the Creative Director, the Senior Designer is a key role in the creative team. We are a small team and you will work independently, managing multiple projects alongside an editor, as well as supporting more junior designers in the team.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate the ability to multi-task, as you will be working on several books at once, fulfilling all aspects of the creation process including making sales materials, briefing illustrators, and mocking up spreads. A can-do attitude is required, and you must be organised, have excellent written English skills and demonstrate that you can work well with others. In this crowded market, we need someone who is commercially minded and willing to pitch new ideas for our already established list.
Key tasks of the role include:
* Coming up with new book ideas and fresh design approaches
* Designing multiple books from start to finish
* Briefing illustrators
* Working with editors to manage the timely delivery of projects
* Working with production to supply flawless print-ready PDFs.
