About Thomas Grey Creative

Thomas Grey Creative is an established creative and digital agency working with globally recognised brands. We specialise in high-quality design, marketing collateral, digital experiences, presentations and website development. As our agency continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced Senior Designer to join our small, fully remote team.

The role

We're looking for a talented, versatile Senior Designer with an exceptional eye for visual design and the confidence to work independently. You'll work across several international client accounts, producing everything from campaign creative and marketing collateral to digital assets, presentations and brand materials. This is a hands‑on creative role for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership of their work and can consistently deliver excellent design without needing constant direction. You'll work closely with our Creative Director, Studio Manager and wider creative team, with responsibility for managing your assigned work and communicating directly with clients through platforms such as Monday.com and Asana.

Flexible working with opportunities for more

We recognise that talented designers don't always want a traditional nine-to‑five job. This position offers the stability of regular employment with the flexibility to organise your working hours around other commitments. It could be particularly well suited to experienced freelance designers looking for reliable monthly income while retaining the freedom to work with their own clients, or designers seeking a more flexible working arrangement. The contract guarantees 12 days per month, with the potential to work additional paid days as client demand increases. We're therefore looking for someone who values flexibility but also has the capacity and willingness to take on more work when required. Your monthly hours can be spread across full days, shorter working days or a combination of arrangements. We'll agree a schedule that balances your availability with changing client requirements. We care about the quality of your work, clear communication and meeting deadlines, rather than rigid working hours.
