Job description

Role: Midweight Designer

Department: Creative (Marketing)

Location: London (Drummond Street, NW1) – Hybrid (3 days in office)

Reports to: Senior Designer

Let's shake up snacking.

At PROPER SNACKS, we're here to improve snacking. Home to PROPER and Eat Real, we create category-defining brands that challenge convention and bring seriously tasty snacking to more people, more often. We're builders, thinkers, creators and makers. We move fast, back ourselves and aren't afraid to do things differently.

Why this role matters

Our in-house Creative team drives the pick-up appeal and cultural relevance of PROPER and Eat Real – from the packs on shelf to the campaigns, social and digital work around them. We're building out our permanent design team, and as our Midweight Designer, you'll be at the heart of the studio's day-to-day creative – working across packaging, campaigns, digital, B2B and wider brand projects, and supporting our Creative team on our biggest pieces of work. With big ambitions for both brands to be bolder and more distinctive than ever, this is a role for someone who loves variety, cares deeply about craft and wants to bring character and fun to everything they make.

What You'll Be Doing

• Support Senior Creatives and Designers to shape the design direction across the studio output, including campaign activity, social assets and new product launches.
• Lead the execution and roll-out of the chosen design direction across all touchpoints.
• Own the day-to-day design and delivery of trade and in-store workstreams.
• Prepare polished, spec-ready design masters for handover to artwork.
• Sweat the detail on every execution, continually raising the bar of what best-in-class looks like.
• Share your work and the thinking behind it in creative reviews, taking feedback on board and iterating quickly.
• Work closely with the Ops Lead and Project Manager to plan your workload and keep timelines and approvals on track.
• Support the Creative and Brand team to create slick, brilliant-­looking decks that sell the vision and get our creative ideas over the line.
• Stay curious and culturally connected, bringing references, ideas and inspiration to the team.

About You

We'd love to see

• A well-curated portfolio showing quality, creativity and strong design thinking – work with character, life, colour and fun will really stand out
• Around 3–5 years' experience in a design role, agency or in-house
• A sharp eye for detail and craft, with excellent typography, layout and composition skills
• The versatility to flex your style across different types of design, rather than specialising in just one
• Strong skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Acrobat, and confidence in PowerPoint

Bonus points if

• Packaging design experience – not essential, we'll help you learn
• Experience in FMCG or consumer brands
• Illustration or animation skills

You'll thrive here if…

• Are endlessly curious and culturally connected
• Love variety and enjoy switching between different types of design
• Sweat the small stuff and take real pride in your craft
• Take ownership and bring a builder mindset, using your initiative to solve problems
• Listen well, take direction and are hungry to learn
• Enjoy talking about your ideas and the thinking behind them
• Thrive in a fast-paced, highly collaborative team
• Bring energy, enthusiasm and a sense of fun to everything you do

What We Offer

• 24 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays and Christmas closure
• Company bonus driven by business and individual performance
• Breakfast on us every day – including Ed's famous granola
• Free lunch twice a week
• A paid volunteering day to support a cause that matters to you
• Bespoke perks to suit you – choose from free Audible, discounted ClassPass and more
• Cashback on everyday healthcare costs
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Electric car salary sacrifice scheme
• Enhanced family leave

Interested?

If you're excited by the opportunity but don't tick every box, we'd still love to hear from you. We know great people come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
