We are on the hunt for a talented and conceptual midweight or senior creative designer to join our team in Guildford.

Someone to help create pitch winning concepts and be able to articulate them clearly, create and craft brand identities, ideally bring brands to life in motion or at least think in that way. You would be a key part of the studio working closely with the whole team including the Design Director and Creative Director to help generate original, strategically-led creative ideas, not just executions.

What we’re looking for:

• You have a minimum of 4+ years experience in a creative agency.
• You’re a problem solver and enjoy finding fresh, new and innovative ways of looking at delivering creative
• You’re a creative thinker and doer
• You can present ideas & concepts in an articulate and engaging manner
• You can take a design lead on pitches and live projects
• You have versatile creative abilities
• You have strong graphic design and typography skills (advanced knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite)
• You are confident in art directing 3rd parties like Photography/video shoots, illustration, 3D builds etc.
• You have great attention to detail
• You are proactive team player who can work collaboratively in a small team
• You are eager to learn new skills and share your knowledge with the rest of the team

A bit about us:

As a boutique award winning Top 50 design agency, we punch above our weight and boast a roster of high profile client work for the likes of Heathrow, EY, Sony, JPMorgan, RBS, Canon, Nespresso, Zurich and Kenwood, as well as numerous niche SMEs. We also work internationally across Europe and South East Asia and have big ambitions so we’ll be wanting a creative designer with solid creative agency experience - ideally across some of our key client sectors – Financial Services, Technology, FMCG, and Travel.

You’ll find our team is a diverse bunch brimming with talent. Firing on all cylinders with a culture that not only takes care of our people, but empowers us to deliver career-defining work. All this means we need more brilliant people. People who will enthusiastically get stuck in with the next exciting part of our story.

We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone, regardless of background, feels valued and empowered. We actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to fostering a culture of equity and respect.

We are currently using a hybrid studio/home working model and our head office is based in Guildford. So you will be expected to be in the office for at least 2 days a week, possibly more depending on projects.

You can expect to work in a fun but fast paced (at times), creative and inspiring environment with a bunch of equally talented, ambitious creative types. You will also receive a competitive salary, 25 days holiday a year, pension, company bonus and your birthday off as an extra days holiday.

Due to the expected high volume of emails, only succesful applications will be contacted.
