• Develop brand guidelines and practical templates that others can use consistently.
• Work with strategy, client services, motion, digital and finished art teams to carry ideas across different formats.
• Manage your workload against agreed timings and budgets, flagging unclear briefs, competing priorities and risks early.
• Prepare organised files and accurate handovers, checking detail and production requirements before work moves on.
• Act on feedback, contribute to design reviews and share practical knowledge with junior designers.

Skills and Qualifications

• Typically 2-4 years of professional design experience, with a portfolio showing strong ideas and considered execution.
• A confident understanding of typography, hierarchy, composition and brand identity systems.
• Strong working knowledge of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, with the ability to prepare work for print and digital use.
• Ability to develop a brief beyond the first idea and carry an agreed direction across multiple applications.
• Clear communication and presentation skills, with confidence to ask questions and explain your thinking.
• An organised, proactive approach and the judgement to work independently while knowing when to seek guidance.

Bonus Points

• Experience with Figma and digital design systems.
• Motion design, animation or an interest in how brands behave on screen.
• An interest in brand strategy, storytelling and work across Mammoth’s key sectors.

What We Offer

• Guidance from senior creatives and room to develop towards a senior role.
• A collaborative environment where ideas are valued, challenged and developed.
• Exposure to brand projects from early thinking through to final delivery.
