About this role

This is a design role for a creative with a strong portfolio and a genuine interest in brand storytelling. You will join an in-house creative team embedded within a corporate environment, contributing directly to how the brand shows up across every channel, audience, and touchpoint.

Day-to-day, you will develop high-quality visual design across a broad range of deliverables, including integrated campaigns, digital assets, presentations, print collateral, and brand materials. You will manage projects from creative brief through to final delivery with accuracy, quality control, and attention to detail at every stage.

You will work in close creative partnership with copywriters, strategists, and marketers to develop work that is both visually compelling and strategically sound. This role balances creative ambition with commercial reality—marrying visual craft with business objectives, brand consistency, and stakeholder needs.

You are at a meaningful juncture in your career: past the learning curve of junior production, not yet in a formal art direction position, but already demonstrating the visual intelligence and conceptual thinking that will take you there. You will benefit from senior creative guidance while making strong independent decisions.
