Collaboration

• Work closely with the lead Illustrator and Learning team to understand illustration briefs and turn them into effective visuals.
• Partner with Product Designers and Engineers to make sure artwork works well within the Medify interface.
• Help organise artwork libraries in Figma, Notion and Google Drive.

• Around 2–3 years of professional illustration or graphic design experience.
• A portfolio showing strong illustration and design skills, including composition, colour and drawing fundamentals.
• The ability to turn complex educational concepts into clear, appealing visuals.
• Confidence using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Figma.
• A thoughtful approach to feedback and a keen eye for inconsistencies in artwork.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with colleagues and external contractors in a remote team.
• Comfort using AI tools as part of a creative workflow while maintaining a high standard of original craft.

Nice to have

• Experience working within an in-house design team or established visual identity.
• An interest in making education more enjoyable and accessible.
• Animation skills.

The Process

Our hiring process includes a work trial based on an educational illustration brief. It gives you a chance to show us how you approach a creative challenge and gives us a chance to see your process.
