• Act as the primary creative lead and contact for external agencies, briefing and refining assets to ensure they meet brand standards.
• Partner with corporate marketing and hotel teams across 37 properties to interpret design briefs, manage timelines, and set expectations.
• Coordinate directly with premium print vendors to select finishes, paper stocks, and sign off on printer proofs for flawless physical output.
• Analyse digital asset performance alongside marketing teams to optimize designs for UX/UI, email campaigns, and online advertising.

What we're looking for:

• Proven experience as a Senior, Lead, or high-performing Mid-Weight Graphic Designer.
• Demonstrable experience as a graphic designer within hotels or hospitality is required.
• A strong portfolio showing a versatile range of styles, specifically demonstrating the ability to design for both a modern aesthetic (Malmaison style) and a classic aesthetic (Hotel du Vin style).
• Extensive experience delivering flawless mechanical artwork for complex physical print (spot varnish, foil stamps, bespoke die-cuts) alongside pixel-perfect assets for digital, web, and social platforms.
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
• Strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro, After Effects, or other animation tools to create engaging social video content.
• Experience setting up user-friendly templates on platforms like Canva, Figma, or centralised DAM systems for non-designer team use.
• Meticulous approach to document setup, grid layouts, typographic hierarchy, colour profiling (CMYK vs. RGB), and print-ready exporting.
