Senior Graphic Designer

Position Overview

Key Responsibilities

1. Creative Direction

• Set the visual direction for campaigns: concept, layout system, color, typography, and tone.
• Turn a brief into a concept. Interrogate what the campaign is actually trying to do before you open a file.
• Design the key pieces yourself — hero banners, launch visuals, campaign films — and set the template others build from.
• Be the quality bar. Review the team's work, give specific feedback, and decide when something is ready to ship.

2. Motion & Video

• Direct and produce motion content: product videos, animated campaign assets, explainers, and social cutdowns.
• Shape the edit through pacing, music timing, transitions, and type animation.
• Finish to a high standard, including motion graphics, color, and clean audio.
• Deliver for every platform (16:9, 9:16, 1:1) with the cutdowns each channel needs.

3. Owning Projects

• Run projects end to end: scope, timeline, who does what, and delivery, across several campaigns at once.
• Brief and guide designers working alongside you, and make sure the pieces add up to one campaign.
• Manage reviews and versions so feedback lands in one place and nothing gets lost.
• Work with external partners such as freelancers, photographers, and studios when a project needs them.

4. Collaboration & Communication

• Partner with marketing, brand, and product teams so the creative serves the business goal, not just the mood board.
• Present your work and explain your choices clearly, including the trade-offs you made.
• Keep twelve brands straight. Know where each one's guidelines end and where your judgement begins.

5. Raising the Bar

• Mentor junior designers. Sit with them, review their files, and help them get better faster.
• Build and maintain design systems, templates, and asset libraries that make the whole team quicker.
• Use AI tools well — image generation, video tools, upscaling, background removal — and help the team use them responsibly, in line with our guidelines on copyright, likeness, and disclosure.
• Learn from results. Track how creative performs and let it shape the next round.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Fine Arts, Animation, or a related field (or equivalent work experience).
• 5–9 years in graphic design and motion graphics, ideally in agency, brand, or in-house settings.
• Experience leading campaigns and guiding other designers.
• A strong portfolio and showreel showing concept work, craft, and range. For each piece, state clearly what you personally did.

Craft & Working Style

• Strong editing and animation instincts where you know why a cut works.
