• Maintain brand guidelines across all S2 brands
• Manage multiple projects with tight deadlines
• Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to create impactful designs
• Video editing and basic motion design (Premiere/After Effects)
• Organize and manage digital assets
• Monitor live campaigns to ensure assets display correctly

What You Bring To The Table

• At least 1 year of experience in graphic design (agency or in-house)
• A diverse portfolio showcasing your skills and creativity
• Proficiency in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator (bonus: Premiere and After Effects)
• Positive attitude — embraces challenges and solutions
• A love for good design
• Calm under pressure — composed and ready to adapt
• No formal degree required — skills and passion are what matter

What We Can Offer You

• In-depth brand training
• 25 days annual leave + 8 bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Private healthcare and cashback scheme
• Perks and discount schemes
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Access to 24/7 GP Service
