Our managed services and cloud expertise ensure businesses operate securely and efficiently, so they can focus on progress and innovation in a fast-changing digital landscape.

Be part of a business and marketing team with big ambitions, shaping the future of technology through cutting-edge campaigns that transform how we engage customers and influence the industry. You’ll thrive in a culture built on collaboration, innovation and progression, with access to learning, certifications and genuine career development as we expand.

We’re powered by people who grow, innovate and make meaningful change every day. If you’re curious, ambitious and ready to do things differently, you’ll fit right in at Proact. We offer a supportive environment with flexibility, wellbeing-focused benefits and opportunities designed to help you succeed.

Position Overview

We are seeking a talented and creative Graphic Designer to join our UK Marketing Team in Manchester. This is a unique opportunity for a designer who wants to make a real impact on our brand image and marketing output. While the primary focus of this role (70-80%) will be on graphic design and, ideally, videography, you’ll also play a key part in supporting a variety of broader marketing activities.

You’ll be responsible for designing high-quality marketing materials, presentations, campaign and social media graphics, PDFs, and more. You’ll help to create compelling visual concepts that bring campaign ideas to life. You’ll work closely with the marketing team and CTO to develop creative campaign concepts, ensuring our materials stand out and cut through the “plain and boring noise” of the industry.

You’ll help us develop our use of video - partnering with external agencies or producing content internally and support the delivery of visually engaging materials to both customers and colleagues. The remainder of your time will be spent coordinating other marketing activities with the rest of the team, such as events, email campaigns, prospect data management, podcasts, and other marketing projects.

You’ll be part of a small, close-knit UK marketing team of three, collaborating with a wider European marketing group. You’ll have the flexibility to evolve the UK’s graphic design approach within the Proact brand, and opportunities to contribute to group-wide brand evolution.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

Graphic Design & Videography (70-80%)

• Design and produce a wide range of marketing materials: brochures, presentations, campaign assets, social media graphics, infographics, and PDFs.
• Collaborate with the marketing team and CTO to develop creative visual concepts for campaigns, ensuring our marketing stands out in a crowded industry.
• Support email marketing, including design and layout of email templates.
• Take a leading role in brainstorming and shaping campaign ideas, translating them into compelling visual assets that capture attention and drive engagement.
• Champion creativity and originality in all marketing materials, helping Proact UK maintain a reputation for bold, innovative, and effective design.
• Develop and maintain a consistent, modern visual identity for Proact UK, ensuring all materials align with brand guidelines.
• Support the creation and delivery of video content, working with external agencies or producing in-house where appropriate.
• Collaborate with colleagues to deliver high standards of visual materials for both internal and external audiences.
• Take creative ownership of design projects from concept to completion, managing multiple deadlines.

Broader Marketing Support (20-30%)

• Help manage and update website content (WordPress CMS).
• Assist with the delivery of marketing campaigns, events, and podcasts.
• Contribute to other marketing initiatives as required.
• Work collaboratively with the UK and European marketing teams, sharing best practices and supporting group projects.

Applicant Profile

Essential

• Proven experience in graphic design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating creativity and technical skill across digital and print.
• Experience developing creative campaign concepts and bringing them to life visually, ideally in collaboration with marketing teams and stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro or similar).
• Experience in use and management of email marketing platforms.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines, with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.

Benefits

• A diverse and inclusive culture.
• Exciting and non-standard career pathways: our flat structure offers all the support you need to learn, develop, grow and progress.
• Opportunities to collaborate: you’ll have the chance to engage with leading tech partners and build your own industry network.
• A commitment to your wellbeing: we offer private comprehensive health care cover and a range of health and wellbeing benefits to help you stay well, both in and out of work.
• Generous financial rewards: we’ll reward you financially with a great salary, an industry leading commission plan, and a good pension.
• Brilliant lifestyle benefits: you’ll get more out of life with everything from generous holiday entitlement and additional purchase scheme to paid charity day.
