What Is the Opportunity?
You will be a key player in defining and executing our visual identity across every brand touchpoint. We are looking for an ambitious professional who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and has the agility to innovate quickly.

As One of Our Senior Brand Designers, You’ll
- Champion the Simply Business visual brand identity, ensuring all digital touchpoints are cohesive, impactful and resonate with our target audience.
- Translate marketing and business objectives into engaging digital design solutions, from initial concept through to launch.
- Help define, create and maintain our comprehensive design system, including UI components, patterns and guidelines.
- Create and edit custom templates within WordPress, ensuring designs are visually appealing, responsive and optimised for performance.
- Develop multimedia content using design, motion graphics and video to drive our brand storytelling across social media and campaigns.
- Continuously audit and evolve our visual identity based on user feedback, data and emerging design trends.
We’re Looking For Someone Who Is
- Comfortable with a flexible schedule, specifically working 2pm – 10pm (UK time) at points during the week to align with US business hours.
- An experienced Digital Designer with a strong portfolio showcasing a diverse range of digital projects, such as websites, landing pages and campaigns.
- Expert in WordPress (or similar platforms), comfortable with theme/template creation, customisation and troubleshooting build challenges.
- Masterful with industry‑standard design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma) and skilled in animation, motion graphics or video editing.
- Deeply knowledgeable about design principles, typography, colour theory and visual hierarchy, with a solid understanding of UX/UI standards.
- Proactive and adaptable, with a track record of creatively overcoming design and technical challenges in a deadline‑driven environment.
(We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the confidence gap. You don’t have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role.)
