IN-HOUSE GRAPHIC DESIGNER – THE OVERVIEW
We are looking for an In-House Graphic Designer to join our Marketing department
at Generator HQ in London. As a talented designer, you will be confident in creating
new concepts and used to producing exceptional work with a strong portfolio to
prove it. You’ll be experienced
with creating a visual language from identity and guidelines; and producing
collateral for digital and print channels alike.
Who are we?
Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a lifestyle
accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of
European capitals on its way to dominating the world. No biggie. Fast Company
named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course,
agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention
that?) wants a pretty awesome In-House Graphic Designer.
Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the
beating heart of the cities we love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an
outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you -
that's what Generator offers. Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and
while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination
reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.
BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to
life.
