About the Role
Zak Group is a design office that creates worlds through creative direction, brand strategy, and spatial environments across fashion, art, technology, sport, and entertainment. We are hiring a Senior Graphic Designer to collaborate closely with the Creative Director and team on branding and identity projects. This role requires someone who thinks in systems, meticulously crafts original artwork and graphics, and possesses deep foundational skills in brand design and typography. As a senior member of the team, you will demonstrate strong execution, mentor junior designers, and lead concept development and visual systems.

Our approach leads with creative direction and builds with the discipline of a design office, working across and beyond traditional boundaries. Projects range from cultural institutions to global brands, often spanning print, digital, and spatial formats simultaneously. You will contribute to brand worlds that extend beyond logos or marks, developing flexible frameworks that hold ideas and scale across multiple touchpoints.

You will be involved in conceptualising and executing high-fidelity ideas across symbols, logos, logotypes, lettering, type design, and illustration using a wide range of image-making techniques. You will translate concepts across strategy, experience, motion, and digital media, build adaptable visual systems, lead the development of mood boards, brand tone, imagery, and style guides, and create clear presentations to articulate concepts and design approaches to clients. Additionally, you will cast freelance creative collaborators across disciplines as needed and work across 2D graphics, motion, and graphic systems. Experience with 3D is a plus but not essential.

Benefits include 33 days holiday per year (25 days annual leave plus UK public holidays), Summer Fridays in August, and pay progression based on performance and development. Alongside salary, we value working with the world’s best brands shaping the future of their sectors and supporting your long-term development.
