Senior Creative Designer

Inlights.io - Manchester (Hybrid - 2 days per week in Office - 3 minute walk from Piccadilly Station)

Create cinematic, personalised visuals seen by millions.

This is for designers who think in campaigns, visuals, and motion.

This is NOT a UX/UI or product design role. If you design apps, wireframes, or user journeys - this isn’t for you.

About Inlights

You’ve seen personalisation but you’ve never seen it like this. We turn customer data into scroll-stopping visuals and animations for brands like Dr. Martens, Manchester United, Hotel Chocolat, Boden & Omaze.

Think: Names crafted into scenes; Motion that feels like a movie trailer; Emails that people actually feel.

The Role

You’ll create high-end visual and motion-led creative for global brands. This isn’t about designing interfaces or websites. It’s about creating standout campaign visuals and animations that stop people mid-scroll.

You’ll design:

·       Cinematic personalised visuals for email and web assets

·       Animated storytelling moments

·       Campaign concepts that turn customers into fans

This role is NOT for you if:

·       You’re primarily a UX/UI or product designer.

·       Your portfolio is focused on apps, wireframes, or user journeys.

·       You prefer structured design systems over creative exploration

·       You’re looking for a non-client-facing role.

Skills & Experience

Must-have:

·       Advanced Photoshop (compositing, lighting, blending, realism)

·       Animation skills – this can be simple frame by frame gifs or more complex video.

·       Experience creating campaign-style digital creative.

·       A portfolio showing visual craft + motion work.

·       Understanding of email / CRM creative.

Bonus:

·       Client facing agency background.

·       Experience working on brand campaigns (not just products).

Portfolio Requirements:

·       High-end visual design and development.

·       Campaign or brand-led creative.

·       Motion / animation work
