Job description

When asked what you do for a living, how would you like to be able to say ‘I help to advance human progress’?

That’s what we do (it’s even in our strapline). And we’re looking for a senior, multi-disciplinary digital designer to help us.

About our Team

Elsevier Creative is the driving force behind the visual and verbal identity. We design everything from videos to social posts to infographics and thought leadership pieces, telling stories that inform and inspire in every way we can. It’s literally about making people think.

About the Role

We are looking for a senior, multi-disciplinary digital designer to join a fast-paced, dynamic, global marketing group. We see design as visual storytelling, so we’re looking for someone talented who can translate our brand identity into marketing activity that engages visually and emotionally. The ideal person will be skilled in every step of the design process, from concept to the final deliverable. Data visualization and editorial design will feature strongly too, so expertise in these areas is essential. And it’s a senior designer role, which means being able to balance multiple projects simultaneously and working well under pressure, often to tight deadlines, while following corporate guidelines.

So, show us your expert knowledge of design software, the creativity to turn it into compelling communication, and the experience to work on several projects at the same time. And we’ll show you a job where your design skills can help change the world for the better.

Responsibilities

• Create inspiring, strategic, and innovative campaign ideas that work online and offline.
• Visualise and create concepts, giving direction on photography style, imagery, typography, and iconography.
• Act as a brand ambassador to ensure designs follow our brand identity guidelines, maintaining consistency and compliance across our work.
• Manage creative production through our design workflow system, Monday.com.
• Consult with internal stakeholders to determine objectives, background information, budget, design approaches, styles and techniques.
• Transform complex data into compelling visualisations for social / digital media, supporting our global marketing campaigns.
• Build interactive editorial content and supporting assets for our thought leadership programmes.
• Partner with our global Events team, providing creative direction for in-person and virtual events.
• Work closely with Product to visually articulate how the Elsevier product suite helps solve our customers' challenges.
• Collaborate with the Creative team, sharing ideas, best practices, problem-solving, and participating in developing project briefs.
• Show your knowledge and thirst to investigate, innovate, and develop trends with an emphasis on digital

Requirements

• Minimum five years’ experience in a senior graphic / digital design role.
• Strong knowledge of the Adobe Creative Cloud applications.
• Degree (or equivalent) in graphic / digital design or related discipline.
• Photography experience and proficiency with photo-editing software.
• Experience in video editing / animation (advantageous, not essential).
• An interest in the latest digital technologies, software, and growing trends in the creative industry.
