About the Role
This is a Senior 2D Designer role within a well-regarded creative team, working across retail, experiential, and brand communications projects. You will take a step up in ownership, influence, and creative direction, leading the visual design that underpins high-profile projects. Working closely with 3D designers, strategists, and project teams from concept through to delivery, you will help shape the creative vision and mentor other designers. This role offers real client-facing responsibility and the opportunity to create work that people experience in the real world.

Your key responsibilities will include leading 2D design across retail, experiential, and brand communications projects; setting and maintaining creative standards; art-directing and mentoring midweight and junior designers; collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams; leading client presentations with clarity and confidence; managing multiple live projects while maintaining quality; shaping workshops and creative development sessions; and staying informed on trends in sport, culture, retail, and visual communication to feed into the work.

This role is ideal for someone ready to move beyond executing others’ visions to shaping their own, with autonomy and genuine ownership in an award-winning agency known for ambitious thinking and high creative standards.

Experience
Significant experience (around six years or more) in brand, experiential, or retail design with a senior-level portfolio to match.
Proven ability to lead and art-direct design projects and mentor other designers.
Comfortable managing multiple live projects simultaneously without compromising quality.
Experience working with sports, lifestyle, culture, or consumer brands is a bonus but not essential.

About you
Highly fluent in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign (non-negotiable).
Strong visual craft combined with conceptual thinking.
Ability to guide and elevate the work of others.
Confident leading client conversations and standing behind creative decisions.
Sharp eye for typography, layout, composition, and visual storytelling.
Passionate about how brands earn a place in people’s lives and keen to work in a collaborative, ambitious environment.

Qualifications
No specific qualifications required; a strong portfolio and relevant experience are essential.
