ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a strong, ideas led Designer to join our Brand Design team. You’ll be someone who can confidently develop visual identities, challenge briefs, and bring thoughtful, high impact work to the table alongside other designers and independently.
We’re looking for someone with an eye for detail, a sharp visual instinct, and a passion for pushing the work beyond the initial ask. Someone who sees the potential in a brief and is happy to challenge it to find visual excellence! You’ll help shape the brand expression of all of our properties - working across visual identity, show branding, social toolkits, marketing material, events, merch, and more. The scope is wide, and the creative ceiling is high.
You should be comfortable with a range of design functions, from logo design, visual systems to social layouts and decks. You’ll be happy to get stuck into everyday jobs when needed, and always looking for a way to make the work better. You’ll be joining a small but mighty design team working at the heart of a fast growing, global company, and a passion for design 🎉

Collaborating to build out bold visual systems across multiple brands.
Switching gears easily between quick-turnaround jobs and deeper creative work.
Maintaining design standards across every touchpoint, from layout to typography to logo work.
Being proactive, thoughtful, and unafraid to challenge or lead when the idea’s right.
WHAT YOU HAVE:
3–5 years of experience working in brand or studio environments.
A portfolio that shows great taste and execution. With standout brand identity, typography, and layout work.
Strong, proven experience with Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.
Great organisation and communication skills with the team.
Confident presenting and explaining ideas.
Someone who’s hungry to do great work and not afraid to put ideas forward or push back when needed.
