Junior Designer

About the role

We are looking for someone with strong design fundamentals, a portfolio that demonstrates genuine creative potential, and the right attitude to thrive in a collaborative, feedback-driven workplace. You do not need to have all the answers yet—but you should be curious, diligent, and motivated to develop.

In this role, you will be supported by experienced creatives who are invested in your growth. You will learn by doing: working on live briefs, contributing to campaigns, and developing the commercial and conceptual awareness that will set you apart as a designer over time. This is a genuine development opportunity within a team that takes creative quality seriously.

Duties and Responsibilities

Design Delivery & Production

Design high-quality visual assets across a broad range of formats, including digital, print, internal communications, social content, presentations, and brand collateral

Adapt and resize creative assets across channels and formats, maintaining brand consistency and visual accuracy throughout

Support the production and rollout of campaigns, brand materials, and content — from initial file setup through to final delivery

Source and select imagery, iconography, and visual references that align with the creative direction and brand tone

Creative Thinking & Brief Response

Translate briefs into considered, on-brand design solutions—initially with guidance from senior team members, and with increasing independence over time

Apply strong fundamentals in typography, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy to all work, regardless of format or complexity

Contribute ideas and visual thinking to creative sessions and campaign development, showing curiosity and emerging conceptual instincts

Develop a growing understanding of how design serves communication goals—not just aesthetics—within a business context

Craft, Quality & Brand Consistency

Uphold brand guidelines consistently across all outputs, understanding how and why a coherent visual identity matters at scale

Approach every piece of work with attention to detail, taking pride in the quality of execution at every stage of the process

Incorporate feedback clearly and efficiently, iterating quickly without losing sight of the original brief or creative intent

Collaboration & Creative Relationships

Work constructively alongside copywriters, marketers, and other creative team members, contributing positively to a collaborative working environment

Engage with briefs professionally, asking relevant questions and seeking clarity where needed before beginning design work

Support presentation design and content preparation, helping to communicate creative work clearly to internal audiences

Assist in creative productions, image sourcing, and supplier coordination where required, under the direction of a senior creative

Skills and Experience

Approximately 1-3 years of professional design experience, whether in-house, digital agency, freelance, or via an internship-to-full-time progression

A portfolio that demonstrates strong design fundamentals — typography, layout, hierarchy, colour — alongside emerging conceptual and brand thinking

A genuine understanding that design exists to solve communication and business problems, not only to look good

Receptiveness to feedback and a genuine desire to learn, develop, and be mentored by senior creatives

High attention to detail and pride in the quality and consistency of your work

A collaborative, proactive, and adaptable working style, suited to a structured professional environment

Adobe Creative Suite — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign (solid working knowledge required)

Figma — for digital asset creation and collaborative design workflows

Presentation design — Microsoft PowerPoint to a proficient standard

Typography, layout, grid systems, and digital asset creation across web and print formats

Working knowledge of brand guidelines and how to apply them accurately and consistently

Experience with AI-assisted design tools and an interest in how they are evolving creative workflows

Social content creation across platforms, with an understanding of format specifications and visual communication for digital audiences

Internship, placement, or early employment experience in an in-house or digital agency creative team

Exposure to corporate, consulting, financial services, or enterprise brand environments, even in an assistant or support capacity

Experience supporting campaign development or content rollout, with an understanding of how creative work moves from brief to delivery

Some familiarity with stakeholder review and approval processes — even from observation or junior involvement

An interest in the strategic side of design: brand positioning, audience thinking, and how visual identity connects to business purpose.
