Job description

We've partnered with a leading manufacturer in Cambridge to help them find a Creative Graphic Designer who can bring their products and marketing to life across print and digital channels.

This is a hands-on role for a designer who enjoys more than turning finished briefs into artwork. You’ll help develop ideas, create polished materials and make sure the final work is accurate and consistent. Alongside graphic design, you’ll use your photography and video skills to create useful content, bringing in specialist support for projects that need it.

You’ll work with the Marketing Manager and colleagues across the business, taking creative projects from brief to delivery.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing brochures, presentations, exhibition materials and other print and digital assets.
• Developing visual ideas and producing coordinated materials for campaigns and product launches.
• Preparing artwork for production, checking proofs and making sure files meet print and digital specifications.
• Creating templates and practical brand guidance that help colleagues produce consistent materials.
• Taking photographs and making video content for marketing channels and product information.
• Briefing and coordinating external creative suppliers for specialist photography, editing or animation.
• Keeping images, designs and video organised so the team can find and reuse approved assets.
• Reviewing creative work to make sure it is clear, accurate and right for its audience.

What you’ll bring

Strong graphic design skills are essential, along with a portfolio that shows good layout, typography and attention to detail. You’ll also have practical photography or video experience and be comfortable managing several projects and deadlines at once.

You’ll be proactive, able to develop an idea without waiting for every detail to be decided, and open to feedback from colleagues. You don’t need to be an expert in every creative discipline; sound judgement and a willingness to keep learning matter more.

Why join?

You’ll have the opportunity to shape creative work across a broad range of channels and see it used throughout the business. The role combines core design work with photography, video and project ownership, giving you scope to contribute ideas and build a varied body of work as the business grows.

Location

This role is based in Cambridge 3 days a week. It’s easily commutable from Royston, Saffron Walden, Newmarket, Ely, Huntingdon, St Ives, Bury St Edmunds, and wider areas across Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Essex.
