Role
Designer
Location
London, United Kingdom
About the role
We are recruiting for two mid-to-senior level integrated designers (3–7+ years of experience) to join a client’s Group Brand studio team. The client is a leading UK brand in the Financial Services sector and the studio delivers high‑quality, brand‑aligned creative across sponsorship and partnership programmes, brand initiatives, and always‑on output. The roles are six‑month fixed‑term contracts, one focused on Sponsorship & Partnership design and the other on Group Brand work. Both operate within a hybrid model with three anchor days in the office each week and may require attendance elsewhere occasionally. There is no line‑management responsibility.
What you will be doing
- Creating high‑quality design solutions across digital, social, environmental graphics, OOH, presentations, print and experiential sponsorship materials
- Developing visual concepts that support sponsorship storytelling and brand‑building objectives
- Ensuring all creative adheres to the brand Visual Identity and accessibility standards
- Proactively suggesting alternative approaches to enhance creative impact
- Artworking & production:
- Delivering production‑ready artwork across various formats, ensuring accurate specifications for print, digital and physical installations
- Adapting and versioning assets for partners, channels or market requirements
- Maintaining structured file management, version control and asset governance
- Working with precision across multiple concurrent projects with varying turnaround times (hours‑days for amends; days‑weeks for new development)
- Working closely with your colleagues in the Sponsorship Partnerships and Group Brand teams to develop creative solutions that maximise rights utilisation
- Managing feedback cycles, timelines and approvals with clarity and professionalism
- Developing strong working relationships with third‑party suppliers and agencies to create efficiencies
- Building trusted relationships with Brand Management, Corporate Communications and PPCR colleagues
- Cross‑functional collaboration:
- Driving the collaborative culture of the Group Creative Services team to deliver integrated outputs
- Liaising with external agencies, rightsholders and production vendors to ensure consistent brand execution
- Supporting the development and continuous improvement of sponsorship design workflows, templates and guidelines
- Contributing proactively to team improvements and efficiency gains
- Operating with autonomy on day‑to‑day design decisions within established brand and sponsorship frameworks
- Escalating risks, complex stakeholder issues or creative conflicts appropriately
- Taking accountability for quality, accuracy and brand compliance of all creative outputs
Qualifications
- 3–7+ years’ experience as a brand or marketing designer in an agency or in‑house setting
- Strong brand design experience across multi‑channel creative (financial services experience is not essential, provided you can quickly adapt to brand guidelines and governance standards)
- Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Premiere Pro)
- Solid design fundamentals: typography, colour theory, layout, visual hierarchy and composition
- Experience preparing final artwork and delivering to precise technical specifications
- Strong craft in managing multiple concurrent projects with excellent organisational discipline
- Excellent communication and confident day‑to‑day stakeholder engagement
- Experience working collaboratively within established brand guidelines and responding to shifting priorities
- Ability to work with pace and precision under tight deadlines
- Proficiency in Figma and familiarity with Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems
- CMS experience or familiarity with how brand assets are distributed digitally
- Experience designing sponsorship assets or working with sports/entertainment partnerships
- Motion graphics or animation capability
- Familiarity with AI‑assisted design tools
- Experience working alongside film/photography teams or experiential environments
- Proactive mindset: roles are primarily brief‑led but proactivity is valued when identifying improvements and efficiencies
- Collaborative approach: works positively within a fast‑paced, delivery‑focused team culture across Brand, Public Policy and Corporate Responsibility
- Strong communication skills: clear, effective day‑to‑day collaboration with a variety of stakeholders and team members
- Great attention to detail: meticulous approach to file management, version control and brand compliance
- Flexible: able to move seamlessly between execution‑focused brief work and strategic creative input, and pivot to accommodate changing priorities
- Organised: manages priorities effectively, maintains strong project discipline and meets varying deadlines with consistency
