• Minimum 6 years professional graphic design experience – this is essential


• Strong experience in retail advertising, promotional campaigns or a fast-paced commercial/agency environment


• An exceptionally strong portfolio demonstrating professional, commercially executed design work


• Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop, with strong working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite


• Strong understanding of layout, typography, visual hierarchy, branding and promotional design


• Ability to conceptualise and develop original creative solutions independently, rather than relying on AI-generated design


• Experience taking projects from initial concept and layout through to final, production-ready artwork


• Excellent attention to detail, including typography, alignment, consistency, image quality and artwork accuracy


• Ability to work across multiple campaigns and projects simultaneously while meeting tight deadlines


• Able to interpret a brief, ask the right questions and work with minimal supervision


• Proactive, accountable and comfortable taking ownership of projects


• A strong creative thinker who can bring new ideas and visual approaches to a brief

The role

• You will work on a variety of retail and commercial creative, including promotional campaigns, catalogues, point-of-sale material, in-store advertising, digital campaigns, social media creative, signage and other marketing collateral


• This is not simply an artwork or DTP position. We need someone who can think conceptually, design creatively and execute accurately. You will be expected to manage projects from brief through to final artwork and work closely with the rest of the team to deliver high-quality creative within demanding retail deadlines
