Job description

Junior Brand Designer

Location: London

Reports into: Brand + Content Manager

Hybrid: 3 days in the office, 2 days remote

Employment Type: Permanent

About The Role

We’re looking for a Junior Brand Designer to join Buttermilk’s in-house brand team. This is a hands‑on creative role supporting how Buttermilk shows up to the world, bringing our brand identity to life across social, editorial, physical products, events and beyond.

Working across a wide range of brand touchpoints, you’ll help create visually distinctive, culturally relevant content that reflects our positioning as The Creator Company. From social‑first assets and presentations to event collateral, editorial layouts and campaign creative, you’ll play an important role in ensuring everything we put into the world feels considered, consistent and unmistakably Buttermilk.

You’ll report directly to the Brand & Content Manager, working closely with the Global Head of Brand and collaborating with teams across the wider business. We’re looking for someone with a strong creative eye, an instinct for design and an appetite to experiment, bringing fresh ideas, attention to detail and a willingness to get stuck in.

About You

This role blends creative instinct, design craft and a genuinely social‑first mindset. You’ll have a good eye for what makes a brand visually distinctive, an appreciation for great visual storytelling, and a strong understanding of what makes design work across social channels. You understand the nuances of each platform, from formats, dimensions and thumbnails to how content is consumed in‑feed, and know how to create assets that feel native to each channel without compromising brand consistency.

Beyond social, you’re curious about how a brand identity translates across different touchpoints, from digital experiences and editorial content to physical events and printed materials. You’re culturally curious, visually driven and always looking for inspiration, whether through emerging designers, fashion, art, internet culture or brands doing things differently. You have strong attention to detail, are comfortable taking ideas from concept through to execution, and are keen to develop your skills and creative point of view. Above all, you care about what makes great design distinctive, and how every creative touchpoint contributes to a bigger, more recognisable brand story.

Responsibilities

Work closely with the Brand & Content Manager to translate content plans, creative briefs and brand initiatives into distinctive visual output.

Why You’d Take This Role

This isn't a role where you'll be designing the same thing every day. One week you might be creating social content for a global audience, the next developing merchandise, designing an editorial feature or bringing a physical brand experience to life. The breadth of creative output is genuinely varied, offering the opportunity to build a portfolio that spans digital, print, physical products and experiential design.

You’ll be part of a small, ambitious in‑house Brand team where your ideas are heard, your work is highly visible and you can see the direct impact of what you create. With Buttermilk entering an exciting new chapter in its brand evolution in early 2027, there’s a real opportunity to help shape how a global creative business looks, feels and shows up to the world, while developing your own skills and creative point of view along the way.
