About the role
We’re looking for a curious and creative Junior Designer to join the team in a permanent role.
This is a varied, entry-level position for someone looking to build their experience across a broad range of creative work. You’ll support the team with design tasks across client briefs, merchandise collections, presentations, production artwork, and platform content.
You’ll work closely with senior members of the Creative team, learning how ideas develop from an initial brief into polished, practical, and engaging creative work.
