Job description

We are looking for a Senior Designer to join our team in London to help our clients to DO SOMETHING GREAT.

Klutch Studio is an independent creative studio - we back each other, share ideas freely, and aren’t afraid to experiment.

We're looking for someone proactive, curious, and ready to get stuck in: from deep work building brands to day-to-day creative challenges, we want the right person to create exceptional work that turns heads and amplifies our clients' briefs.

What's important to us:

You are:

• A Senior Designer with 7+ years of hands-on agency experience
• Able to translate brand strategy into world-class creative
• As comfortable conceptualising ideas as you are doing pixel-perfect work
• Obsessed with building systematic brand systems
• Able to work to tight deadlines
• Able to translate brands to digital platforms
• A great communicator
• Able to confidently present your creative work and rationale
• Able to deliver and oversee multiple projects at once
• Able to plan, manage and liaise with internal and external creatives

You will:

• Lead creative projects across the agency
• Be brave with your ideas
• Be part of team pitching and winning work
• Understand commercial objectives and KPIs of our clients
• Manage other designers and creatives
• Plan and strategise alongside our founder and senior team
• Confidently make decisions and guide our clients

What we offer:

• Hybrid working: 3 studio days a week (Tuesday to Thursday) in our Brixton space, plus WFH flexibility
• Flexible hours - because we know creativity doesn't always happen 9-5
• Company-wide bonus scheme
• 25 days' holiday plus an extra day off on your birthday
• Christmas studio shutdown - to reset and recharge
• Summer hours (Lunchtime finishes on Fridays in August)
• Annual training budget to support your development
• Regular socials (the fun kind, not the forced kind)
• Dog-friendly studio

You'll also get a MacBook Pro and all the tech you need to do your job from the studio and home.

Please note that our studio is in Brixton, a 3 minute walk from the tube station. We currently require the team to be in the studio a minimum of 3 days per week and ad hoc as needed.

The rest of the week is WFH unless you want to come into the studio, of course.

Only people with the correct work visas or rights to work in the UK.

This is a London-based hybrid role, so you must be able to be in London 3 days per week
