Job description

Brand & Marketing Designer – Fast-Growth Media & Advertising Business

Propel is working with a market-leading organisation that’s building a new product set to transform marketing campaigns. Backed by a major UK media org but operating with the pace and autonomy of a startup, this team is creating something bold, new, and impactful - and design is central to how that story is told.

They’re now looking for a Brand & Marketing Designer who can help shape how this emerging product shows up across every touchpoint. Someone who’s excited by variety, comfortable in product-adjacent environments, and ready to bring creative direction as well as hands‑on craft.

What you’ll be doing:

• Bringing a new digital product to life visually across key marketing channels like web, email, social, paid channels and campaign surfaces
• Contributing to the evolution of a developing brand identity and setting creative direction on how it shows up
• Designing across multiple formats – from marketing assets to product‑adjacent visuals and launch materials
• Working closely with marketing, product and growth teams to ensure a consistent, thoughtful visual experience
• Supporting campaign and go‑to‑market activity as the product continues to scale

What they’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Designer - this won't be your first role. This isn't a junior position, as you'll be owning brand and marketing design, ideally having done it in one or more previous roles.
• Brand, digital or marketing design backgrounds welcome, preference for experience designing in a product‑led environment – e.g. B2B/B2C tech, SaaS, fintech or digital platforms
• Strong conceptual thinking - someone who can take a brief and elevate it, not just execute
• Confident turning complex concepts into simple, high‑impact visual stories
• Broad multi‑channel experience across digital, social, web, email and campaign formats
• Proficiency in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite
• Motion design is a bonus, not a requirement
• Someone who enjoys ownership, collaboration and working closely with product‑focused teams

This role will not be right for you if:

• You’re looking for a “safe” design role with lots of structure already in place.
• You want to focus on UI or product design rather than brand and marketing.
• You prefer working in a large design team rather than owning things end to end.
• You’re not confident setting creative direction and making judgement calls.
• You’re early in your design career and still need close, day‑to‑day guidance.

📍 Location: central London-based | Hybrid (3 days per week in office)

💰 Salary: £50,000 - £60,000

Why this is a brilliant opportunity:

A genuine chance to shape how an impactful digital product will show up across marketing channels at a pivotal stage - with the creative breathing room of a startup and the stability of a major organisation behind it. If you enjoy variety, ownership and translating ideas into engaging design, this is a role with real influence and momentum.
