Senior Motion and Graphic Designer - 12 Month FTC

Our Ways of Working Principles:

We believe that most of us do our best work when we work together, but we know that everyone works in different ways, and quite frankly, has other commitments and responsibilities outside of work.

As we further adjust to hybrid working, we want to take what we've learnt from working remotely and keep the flexibility that's enabled us to thrive and keep driving our business forward.

We have some core principles which support us in this:

Do what’s right

Trust & give permission

Delivery matters

We understand ways of working can look different based on your role, team and you as an individual so we are here to support and discuss this with you during the interview process.

We're looking for a Senior Motion & Graphic Designer to drive our brand creatives in a rapid growth environment. Reporting to the Lead designer, your primary role will be to develop a range of creative assets - including both animation, video and static - for YouTube, performance, social media, CRM and our website / app.

You will also play a vital role in not just executing design tasks, but in developing creative concepts in the first place. The design team is key to looking after and developing the entire brand creative and motion is a key area we are developing. As a result, this is a great opportunity to be part of a fast-paced, innovative team, which will require you to utilise your broad creative skillset.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help generate ideas and design solutions for a range of projects - primarily in 2D animation but also graphic design too.
• Contribute to the creative process, from getting involved at the concept stage, reviewing work with senior team members to art working final assets.
• Create world class 2D animations for the performance and social team ensuring the story and concept has ideas that not only rival our competitors but stand out above them.
• Working alongside your fellow designers to design for email, social and website. This will include graphics, photography and campaigns.
• Create engaging, high quality assets for marketing campaigns including YouTube, outdoor, digital display, emails, social media posts, and more
• Manipulate imagery to allow it to work across numerous platforms

You'll be a great addition to the team if you:

• A creative portfolio of work to wow us with your application (we love animation and motion graphics!)
• An in depth knowledge of After Effects and the rest of the creative suite 
• Figma 
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build great relationships with our wider teams, collaborating closely with the Account Executives and Paid Media Managers on creative ideation and execution in pursuit of truly effective content, advertising, and strategy
• Comfortable managing multiple tasks within a fast-paced environment where deadlines land simultaneously
• Experienced with Adobe Suite (particularly After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Illustrator). Experience in 3D packages is an added bonus.
• Developing and executing both large and small creative briefs to a high standard
• Providing ideas, copy and visuals for campaigns, packaging, customer marketing and digital channels
• Project managing briefs all the way through the creative process

Additional things we’re looking for:

• Performance-first content: you're capable of taking strategy and executing it in performance-first, show-stopping ways, with a keen eye for detail and intrigue
• Motion obsessed: you’re passionate about motion design, have an advanced technical understanding of motion principles and how to apply them to the latest trends and innovations
• You love brands and social media: you're fascinated by brands, how they market themselves and use social media to do this. You are naturally curious about the developments of the digital world and excited by its potential
• You thrive for better and constantly ensuring we stay relevant as a brand
