About the Role
Samar Maakaroun's team is seeking a Midweight Graphic Designer to join the Pentagram London studio. Pentagram London consists of ten partners, each running an independent design practice within the wider partnership. This role is specifically within Samar Maakaroun's team, so applicants should be interested in Samar's approach to design rather than applying to Pentagram generally.

The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in brand identity design and experience working across digital, print, and motion. A keen typographic eye, rigorous attention to detail, and genuine care for craft are essential. Our work spans arts and culture, technology, entertainment, and fashion sectors, working with organisations at various stages of growth.

We value designers who combine strong visual instincts with curiosity, initiative, and a desire to continually learn. The team uses a broad range of tools including Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, After Effects, Keynote, Glyphs, Cavalry, TouchDesigner, and emerging AI tools. We encourage curiosity around technology and exploration of new ways of making and thinking.

The role requires someone dependable, thoughtful, and hardworking, with strong technical skills and a natural problem-solving mindset. You will work closely with Samar and the wider team, taking ownership of your work, managing deadlines responsibly, and responding positively to feedback and direction. Contributions to the work, initiative, and curiosity are equally important.

Given the international nature of the work, the role suits someone who embraces unfamiliar cultures, languages, and writing systems, enjoys learning from diverse contexts, and approaches design with curiosity, research, and an open mind.

Please be clear about your role in the work you present when applying.
