Job description

The role

We’re looking for an ambitious and passionate Senior Designer to join our team. You are someone who lives and breathes Brand Design and is looking to join a close-knit studio working on projects of scale with our global clients. We have a one-team approach so all our creatives develop our work with strategists, creative directors, motion designers, and editors to translate brand strategies into design that is meaningful, inspiring and compelling.

Working location - London

Our studio home is based in London (N1). We’ve embraced hybrid working and are pleased to offer our team the opportunity to work flexibly from home on Mondays and Fridays. We come together in our studio 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Studio time and our wonderful surroundings are very important for creativity to thrive. Working together enables us to approach new ideas and inventions creatively and to enjoy the journey.

Who we are.

We are a group of people who make beautiful, original brands that change the world for the better. We’re fuelled by creativity and reject convention. We are trusted by some of the world’s most interesting companies, including Hulu, Audible, Roli, ITV X, British Land, Formula 1, ESPN, Channel 4, Eurosport, Netflix and AC Milan. Brands that seek to be brave and challenge convention.

Our studio home is based in London (N1), and we come together at least 3 days a week to enjoy the space, collaborate and time together. Studio time and our wonderful surroundings are very important for creativity to thrive. Working together enables us to approach new ideas and inventions creatively and to enjoy the journey.

We partner with brands and in-house creative teams across the world from our London studio. We seek revolution rather than evolution and embrace change to remain fiercely original.

Great design is born of difference; we constantly seek new perspectives and identities to build our team. We’re a vibrant, eclectic, open group of people from Iran, South Korea, Venezuela and everywhere in between, which makes for a rich environment full of ideas.

What we believe.

DixonBaxi is a place of growth. A positive and diverse culture makes us all do great things. The creative studio atmosphere allows everyone to develop new skills, try new things and never settle. We are open-minded and constantly adapt to new ways of working or thinking. We foster access, opportunity and success for everyone.

We care about the team and are always looking for new ways to work and support each other. Our benefits are designed to support wellbeing, professional development and work–life balance. We encourage travel overseas to meet our clients and embrace the opportunity to do things together (like our trips to Copenhagen and Barcelona).

As for the fun stuff - we come together every Wednesday to celebrate projects, birthdays and workiversaries. There is the opportunity for each person to shout out thanks to other team members.

Who you are

You’re a Senior Designer with several years of great brand identity projects behind you, and you want more: more responsibility, more experimentation, more of a challenge and more room to grow. You’re fired up about what you do because you believe you can change the world for the better. You understand the essentials of your craft and aren’t afraid to wield them bravely.

You excel at brand design and are able to translate strategy into brand experiences that you will build from the ground up. That includes logos, guidelines, typography, identity and how that is expressed at every touchpoint. You bring unexpected and original ideas to every project and are able to ensure they are executed.

As the creative lead, you will own large projects and lead a team of creatives to achieve the vision and build a strong relationship with our clients and stakeholders. The ability to manage multiple projects and remain flexible through multiple revisions while keeping keen attention to detail is essential.

What you do

These are just some of the skills we would expect a Senior Designer to have. Brilliance comes in many forms, though; our minds are always open.

You are passionate about design and creativity and pushing the boundaries of how you work

You prefer to invent rather than follow trends

You love crafting exceptional work from brilliant ideas and can clearly articulate how those ideas lead to a final design

You understand and are fuelled by great strategy’s power to ignite projects

You have an eye for things that are new and exciting

You are experienced with typography, colour, layout, and imagery and know how to bring these elements together to embody a brand’s personality, voice, and values

Your thoughts are not bound by convention. You are brimming with originality and new creative ideas and approaches, bringing them into the studio and on specific projects. You invent new, original ideas that solve the brief

You’ve got the ability to manage multiple projects and remain flexible through revisions while paying keen attention to detail

You manage your time effectively, maintain responsibility for your projects and ensure they always run smoothly

Building show-stopping client presentations is second nature to you

You can demonstrate high-level, hands‑on skills in the latest Adobe Creative Suite and Figma

You are driven to find solutions to exciting problems. And recognise that challenges can often be opportunities

Check out the following links to get an understanding of our work and culture.

Our salary brackets are not stated in our job ads. Often our job adverts are open to appeal to candidates at various levels, each level with its own salary brackets. We believe in the concept of ‘know your worth’ and have this discussion with all our initial short-listed candidates.

We regularly benchmark salaries against industry standards [with experts like Major Players, MKS, The DBA, Source and Benchpress] to ensure our compensation packages are competitive and fair. We are committed to transparency and fairness in our hiring process and discuss salary openly with candidates during the interview stage. This approach ensures everyone is evaluated on their merits and potential rather than on predetermined salary brackets. We embrace the concept of ‘know your worth’.

Feedback

We get many applicants for each role which is very much appreciated but unfortunately, it makes it challenging to provide feedback to every applicant. You will always receive an email response to show that we have received your application.

You will of course get written and/or verbal feedback if you make it to the interview stage but are not selected for the role.

Working location - London

We’ve embraced hybrid working and are pleased to offer our team the opportunity to work flexibly from home on Mondays and Fridays.

We come together in our studio 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

We introduced a 4.5 working week and continue to make this a big part of our culture. So, we finish every Friday after lunch.

Independent Experts [Freelance]

We regularly bring in experts, which is how we see our crucial freelancers, to assist us on specific projects. This is the perfect opportunity for us to collaborate with anyone based in or outside of the UK.
