• Co-create and publish social media content across all platforms.
• Contribute to brainstorming sessions and bring fresh design ideas to campaigns.
• Research the customer trends and marketing results using analytic tools to track effective design content.

Skills required

• Ability to create visually appealing and effective designs for various marketing channels which are consistent to the Knockhill brand and feel familiar but fresh and exciting for our customers.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, combined with attention to detail, and a good eye for layout, colour, and overall design quality.
• Proficient in design software, including Adobe Creative Cloud Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc.) and email marketing platforms such as Mailchimp.
• A foundational understanding of B2C marketing, with the ability to create visually compelling designs that effectively engage our customer database.
• Developing understanding of branding, with the ability to apply brand guidelines appropriately for different audiences, markets, and design trends.
• Knowledge of online user experience to support website development and improvements.
• The ability to meet deadlines in a fast-moving environment.
• Experience of working as part of a team.
• The ability to see projects through from inception to production with good organisational skills that support the rest of the team.
• The willingness to listen to feedback and use it to improve.
