Mid-Level Retail and Activation Spatial Designer
MANCHESTER, UK
Tangent is an exciting creative agency based in the centre of Manchester. Following a successful last few years, which saw us bring a number of new clients into the business, we are now looking for a Mid-Level Retail and Activation Spatial Designer to join the team and work across an exciting and ever-growing global client portfolio.
As a small entrepreneurial company, our culture is really important to us, and we pride ourselves on creating a supportive, friendly environment for our people to thrive and grow. We are looking for someone who is a team player, committed to delivering exceptional work for clients in a fast paced environment and able to use their initiative to creatively problem solve.
At Tangent, we create immersive brand worlds. You will be responsible for taking a seed of an idea and growing it into a fully realized 3D environment, whether that’s a global retail toolkit, a high-energy pop-up activation, or a permanent brand space.
What you'll be doing:
Concepting & storytelling: Leading the creative charge on briefs, turning brand storytelling and audience insight into tangible spatial experiences that stop people in their tracks.
3D Visualization: Creating high-end renders and technical drawings design intent drawings that communicate the "vibe" and the "how-to" with equal clarity.
Retail Strategy: Designing with the consumer journey in mind - understanding how humans move through space and interact with products.
Collaboration: Working closely with Account Managers and Creative Directors and external suppliers to ensure designs are on-brand, on-budget, and physically possible.
Technical Precision: Balancing blue-sky thinking with the practicalities of materials, lighting, and production.
The ideal candidate will have:

Strong working knowledge of Cinema 4D, Corona Renderer (and others), Sketch Up, Photoshop and the usual programs related to creating and editing spaces
The ability to take projects from concepts to completion
The ability to balance multiple projects

* 24 days holiday plus all UK bank holidays
* Christmas shutdown (Christmas Eve until 2nd January)
* Training opportunities both within the company and via external courses
* Predominantly office-based role with one day a week work-from-home flexibility (additional flexibility available when needed)
