Jobbeschreibung

We’re creating the UK’s next-generation engineering powerhouse, delivering critical technology that strengthens national security and resilience.
We turn advances in sensing, AI and communications into operational capability at the edge, where connectivity may be limited or unavailable. Our work accelerates technology deployment, improves frontline decision-making, and protects people and critical assets in demanding environments.
Based in Bristol, Rowden currently employs around 200 people and operates more than 20,000 square feet of engineering and manufacturing facilities. With a growing international presence, we are one of Europe’s fastest-growing engineering businesses.

The role

As our portfolio expands into new markets and geographies, we are looking for a Mid-Senior Graphic Designer to focus on how our products are presented and understood.
Working as the primary design partner for Product Marketing, you’ll focus on turning product strategy, positioning, and technical capability into strong visual communication. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing to determine how our products should be explained and presented to customers.
This is a role with real range. One week you might be shaping the visual identity and launch materials for a new product. The next, you could be working with engineers to explain a complex system, building a customer presentation for a major opportunity, or developing how a product shows up at an international event.
You will have the opportunity to get close to the product development work at Rowden, understand how our capabilities work and why they matter, and influence how a growing product portfolio is presented to global markets.
The subject matter can be complex, and that is part of the appeal. We are looking for someone who enjoys making difficult things clear, has strong visual judgement, and wants to produce work that is both beautifully executed and genuinely useful.

Candidates must be eligible for SC clearance.

• Design presentations, product collateral, one-pagers, capability documents, campaign assets, and other customer-facing material.
• Develop technical illustrations, system diagrams, and information design that explain complex products and concepts clearly.
• Support product launches and major industry events, determining how products and capabilities should be presented visually.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and briefs evolve, able to adapt quickly without losing quality or focus.
• Confidence presenting and explaining design decisions to a range of stakeholders.

About you
