Job description

About Represent:

At Represent, we understand the design industry because it's where we come from. Our consultants have creative industry backgrounds, giving us a genuine understanding of the people, studios and brands we work with every day. Proudly employee‑owned, we’re rooted in London, connected globally, and committed to building lasting relationships across the creative industry.

The role:

As Represent continues to grow, we’re looking to meet ambitious, commercially‑minded people who are passionate about the creative industry, thrive on building relationships, and want to help shape careers and creative teams.

Working from our Farringdon studio as part of a collaborative, hybrid team, you’ll partner with some of the world’s leading creative agencies and in‑house brands, connecting exceptional designers with opportunities across branding, graphic design, art direction, digital and beyond.

Every day is different. You’ll work with some of the creative industry's most talented people and most ambitious businesses, helping build careers, creative teams and lasting partnerships.

What you'll be doing:

• Naturally curious and genuinely interested in people
• Calm under pressure and able to prioritise effectively
• Someone who builds trust quickly and enjoys long-term relationships
• Commercially-minded, with a natural instinct for spotting opportunities and creating value
• Curious about how technology, AI and digital innovation are shaping the future
• Passionate about branding, graphic design and the wider creative industry

You don't have to come from recruitment:

Some of our best consultants didn't.

You might already work in recruitment, but equally you could be:

• A designer looking for a new direction
• Working in studio management, production or client services
• Representing talent in another creative industry
• Someone who genuinely loves the creative world and enjoys building relationships
• A candidate of ours already, curious about becoming a part of the team

Why Represent?

• Proudly employee-owned
• London roots with a global network
• Work with some of the world's leading creative agencies and brands
• A supportive team that values trust, autonomy and doing things with integrity

Location:

Farringdon, London, with a hybrid working pattern

Salary:

£30,000–60,000 depending on experience + commission

Interested in Represent?

While our most immediate hiring need is within our Design team, we're always interested in meeting exceptional people.

If your experience or interests are better suited to our Advertising, Digital or Client Services teams, we'd still encourage you to get in touch. As Represent continues to grow, we're always open to conversations with people who share our values, bring fresh perspectives and are passionate about the creative industry.
