Job description

2026 marks a pivotal year for the Roundhouse as it celebrates its 20th anniversary and welcomes a new CEO. Working in the Commercial directorate and reporting into the Head of Brand, the Senior Designer is a new role at the Roundhouse that will support the organisation in its next ambitious phase of growth. The Senior Designer serves as a brand guardian for the Roundhouse, upholding and applying brand guidelines across all channels and outputs to set high creative standards and ensure visual consistency. You will work on key brand priorities including shaping a striking aesthetic for art direction and photography, developing a signature motion design style, and embedding compelling storytelling and core messaging throughout all creative outputs, putting the audience and young people at the heart of all that we do.

Collaboration is going to be key to the success of this role. Partnering closely with the Head of Brand, you will play a central role in guiding the organisation's overall vision for design, brand, and creative direction. We are seeking a candidate with strong design skills and proven expertise across brand identity, multi-channel campaigns, and motion design. You should thrive in a fast-paced, ambitious environment and be equally adept at developing overarching creative concepts as you are at bringing them to life. We welcome applications from people who feel they can bring their own skills, experiences and ideas to the table and empower those around them to do the same. We encourage those currently underrepresented across the cultural sector and all intersections of our diverse society to apply. The successful candidate must have a current and acceptable DBS check, or be willing to undertake one due to the nature of the role.

The Roundhouse is a youth charity and independent multi-arts venue based in Camden, London. We've spent the past 20 years shaping the UK's cultural landscape as a home for world-class music, boundary-breaking theatre, circus, poetry and immersive installations. We're the UK's leading creative centre for young people, engaging more than 10,000 young people annually through our creative youth programme.
