Job description

We’re the global gifting platform for companies that care.

Our platform sends gifts globally at scale, while our team guides the process with taste, thought and attention to detail.

Our customers include OpenAI, Hubspot, Revolut and Fin.

About the team

At &Open, our Creative team is a close-knit group of designers and creatives who dream up and deliver thoughtful gifting experiences for our customers.

We work across creative concepts, merchandise collections, product development, production artwork, catalogue content, presentations, campaigns, and Shopify experiences.

We care deeply about the details, including materials, finishes, decoration methods, packaging, colour, and storytelling. We believe every element contributes to a gift’s emotional impact.

As we continue to scale, we are evolving towards a more product-led and catalogue-first approach while continuing to raise the bar on creativity, taste, and execution.

About the role

We’re looking for a curious and creative Junior Designer to join the team in a permanent role.

This is a varied, entry-level position for someone looking to build their experience across a broad range of creative work. You’ll support the team with design tasks across client briefs, merchandise collections, presentations, production artwork, and platform content.

You’ll work closely with senior members of the Creative team, learning how ideas develop from an initial brief into polished, practical, and engaging creative work.

We’re looking for someone with strong design fundamentals, a thoughtful approach, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning. You do not need to know everything from day one. You should be open to feedback, comfortable asking questions, and ready to contribute wherever the team needs support.

This role is ideal for a recent graduate, an early-career designer, or someone with relevant portfolio experience who wants to develop within a fast-paced, collaborative creative team.

What you'll do?

Apply client logos, brand assets, and artwork to product and packaging mock-ups

Maintain clear, organised, and consistent working files

Work with the Production and B&M teams to understand practical requirements

Catalogue Content and Visuals

Support the creation and maintenance of visual content for the &Open product catalogue

Assist with editing product imagery and uploading content to Shopify

Help with in-house product photography when needed

Support the organisation and tracking of product samples

Help the team keep catalogue content organised, accurate, and visually consistent

Work closely with designers, creatives, B&M, production, content, and marketing teams

Manage assigned tasks and communicate clearly about progress and deadlines

Take ownership of feedback and apply it thoughtfully

Ask questions and seek guidance when needed

Contribute to a positive, supportive, and collaborative team environment
