Job description

Join our ITG creative team dedicated to one of the UK’s leading premium food retailers. This is a dynamic, hybrid role where you’ll collaborate across home working, ITG offices, and client sites.

We’re looking for a conceptually driven designer who can bring ideas to life across multiple channels while staying true to brand guidelines. You’ll have a strong grasp of emerging design trends, generative AI, and brand storytelling—and a passion for crafting beautifully executed creative.

Experience in retail is essential, along with an understanding of how digital and in‑store experiences connect to form a seamless customer journey. You’ll be confident presenting your thinking, articulating the rationale behind your ideas, and engaging in constructive creative debate.

This role is highly collaborative, working closely with fellow creatives, operations teams, and client‑side design leads. A proactive mindset and a positive, team‑focused approach will set you up for success.

Key Responsibilities

Design

Create compelling, effective concepts and designs across a variety of channels, including print, digital, social, and in‑store environments. You should have an impressive eye for detail and be passionate about craft.

Collaboration

Partner with ITG colleagues and client teams to deliver cohesive creative that supports the brand’s marketing strategy and commercial goals.

Brand Consistency

Ensure all creative output aligns with brand guidelines and maintains a consistent visual identity.

Time Management

Plan and manage your workload effectively to meet agreed deadlines and budget expectations, communicating proactively if challenges arise.

Process & Efficiency

Work in line with established workflows—accurately estimating time, meeting deadlines, and completing timesheets as required.

Trend Awareness

Stay curious and informed about the latest design trends, tools, and technologies, bringing fresh thinking and innovation to the team.

• Strong proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, especially InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively within a team
• Confident communication skills, both verbal and written, with experience presenting ideas clearly
• Excellent time‑management skills and the ability to flag challenges early when deadlines or workloads shift
• A sense of ownership over your creative output, seeking feedback at the right moments to elevate the work

Perks at ITG

• Time off that works for you — 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays, a paid Wellbeing Day, flexible bank holidays to honour cultural or religious observances, and the option to buy or carry over up to 5 extra days.
• Flexibility & lifestyle — Smart Working with up to 40% from home, and after 12 months, the option to work from abroad for up to 90 days a year.
• Family & life milestones — Enhanced family friendly leave, 3 extra days for your wedding/honeymoon, and an Employee Assistance Programme whenever you need support.
• Financial perks — Pension scheme, Corporate Medical Cash Plan, electric car salary sacrifice scheme, and tax‑efficient payroll giving to your favourite charities.
• Growth & recognition — Funding for professional qualifications, monthly Employee of the Month awards (£250 bonus), and referral bonuses of up to £1,500.
