Come join the UK’s #1 fastest growing food & drink brand, chosen by everybody from Kate Middleton to the Kardashians.

At Kendamil we're not just making infant formula - we're redefining early childhood nutrition. Recognised by The Growth Index 2025 as the fastest growing FMCG brand in the UK, we’ve also made it to the Bain US Insurgent Challenger Brand list for the past 2 years. Our product range is multi-award winning (!) - having been recognised by Mother&Baby, MadeForMums, The Grocer and Queen’s Award. As an independent, family-owned business we’re proudly the only British formula producer, supporting thousands of British family farms in the process. We are committed to making high quality childhood nutrition accessible to all families, and you'll find our range in 10,000+ stores across the UK and in 42 countries around the world. Our team operates across the world and our roles are generally hybrid or remote, depending on your preference

About the Role:

We’re seeking a skilled digital designer who is confident across all areas of digital design—ideally with animation experience—particularly in creating content for social media. The ideal candidate will have experience collaborating with marketing teams, a strong understanding of what drives user engagement, and a solid grasp of design best practices for customer acquisition.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for producing high-quality creative assets for our family of brands, including Kendamil, Bonya, Kendakids, and Kendalife. The primary focus will be on digital design, especially for paid social campaigns and brand initiatives. However, the role may also extend to print and multi-channel campaign work as needed.

• Maintain brand consistency and uphold visual identity standards across multiple brands and international markets.
• Report to the Head of Creative and collaborate with a small, in-house design team.
• Deliver innovative, on-brand digital designs across platforms including paid and organic social, and CRM channels.
• Partner with marketing and product teams to ensure platform-specific best practices are reflected in creative output.
• Manage and support workflow using collaboration tools like Asana and Slack.
• Proofread and refine designs to ensure all work meets high standards of accuracy and quality.
• Present creative ideas and concepts effectively to key stakeholders across the business.

Qualifications:

• 3–4 years of experience in a design role within an in-house team or creative agency, specifically in the FMCG sector.
• Proven track record of creating successful paid ad creatives for platforms like Meta and TikTok, with examples of effective campaigns and creative strategies.
• Proficient in video editing tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• Comfortable working across multiple brands, with the ability to adapt quickly to different brand identities and visual styles.
• Advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, with bonus experience in Figma.
• Eager to grow as a creative, with a proactive mindset and a passion for learning and innovation.
• Highly self-motivated, detail-oriented, and well-organized with the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively.
• Experience across a range of creative disciplines, including packaging design.
