About the Role
At Notpla, we’re at the forefront of sustainable innovation, creating natural alternatives to single-use plastic packaging engineered to help build a healthier planet. Founded on the belief that nature knows best, we are an innovative, action-oriented scale-up developing and manufacturing uncompromisingly natural packaging solutions from seaweed and plants. We are looking for a Graphic Designer who can elevate how Notpla shows up across every touchpoint. This is not a production-only role; we want someone who can think, shape and execute, bringing ideas to life across campaigns, storytelling, sales enablement and brand moments. You will work closely with the Head of Marketing and commercial teams to translate complex sustainability and materials innovation into compelling visual communication.

This is an exciting time to join Notpla as we approach a record-breaking year for revenue and are on track for major growth in the next 18–24 months. Our recent Series A+ fundraise, closed in 2024, enables us to scale our growth and environmental impact faster than ever. Beyond meaningful roles and a vibrant working environment, Notpla offers competitive compensation including EMI Share Options, a zero-carbon pension scheme, discounts with local businesses, and subsidised social activities. Our office-first hybrid working policy supports productivity while maintaining a dynamic and collaborative atmosphere.

We are a social business with regular clubs and events, proud of our diverse, mission-driven community working together to make plastic disappear. Led by strong values, all employees are encouraged to take ownership of their domain, enjoying a high degree of autonomy. Our aim is to build an inspiring culture reflected in our working policies, environment, and people.

As a Graphic Designer, you will collaborate closely with a junior designer, supporting creative direction and providing hands-on guidance to strengthen and evolve Notpla’s visual identity across channels. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-scaling, award-winning, mission-led company and play a key role in defining its creative identity. Working within our creative-driven marketing team, you will need experience in brand, communication or graphic design, with a strong portfolio spanning brand, campaigns and commercial work. You should be confident moving between conceptual and executional design and designing for both digital and physical outputs with strong typography and layout fundamentals.
