Job description

OLS is looking for a conceptually strong, culturally switched-on Midweight Designer to join its creative studio, making stand-out work for a roster of global CPG brands.

You’ll have razor-sharp taste and a genuine feel for what resonates with a modern, Gen Z-aware audience – someone who makes content that feels native to how people actually scroll, save and share, not repurposed from a bigger campaign.

The work

• Develop stand-out, strategically aligned creative from brief to completion – static, interactive, quiz units and layered editorial-style collage
• Create video, from simple cutdowns to technical executions like rotoscoping and "breakthrough" effects
• Generate on-brand lifestyle assets using GenAI tools (such as Figma Weave), with real care for brand IP accuracy
• Take on feedback fast and manage multiple brands against tight deadlines
• Collaborate closely with Creative Leads and client stakeholders, and be a genuinely good studio citizen – sharing skills and helping others as you go

You have

• A portfolio with real cultural fluency – work made for a Gen Z audience, not adapted for them
• Strong CPG or brand advertising experience, plus collage, editorial or moodboard-style work
• Confident Adobe Creative Suite skills (Photoshop and After Effects essential)
• A self-starter mindset, comfortable working independently and taking feedback well
• Figma, Figma Weave or GenAI experience is a plus; 3D/C4D a bonus

Salary

£40,000 per annum, depending on experience.

How OLS works

You’ll get thorough onboarding and strong peer support from your Creative Lead, in a studio that moves fast, holds high standards, and backs that up with real support and room to grow.

Location and work pattern

Hybrid. You must be able to commute to the Central London office twice a week.

Right to work

Candidates must have the permanent right to work in the UK. OLS is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.

Benefits

• Annual bonus and profit share: Everyone shares in how well the studio does.
• Time off: 25 days a year, including the Christmas closure, rising by a day a year after three years.
• Work from abroad: Work from anywhere for two weeks a year.
• Health and family: Pension scheme, enhanced maternity and paternity packages, Bupa employee assistance programme, plus free wellness sessions and West End Club discounts for the London team.
• Learning and development: An annual training budget for everyone, a WFH equipment budget, and real time set aside for team learning and innovation.
