Building strong relationships with Marketing colleagues and stakeholders across the firm, managing expectations and timelines to deliver successful outcomes.
-
Supporting the delivery of creative campaigns and driving innovative approaches that help our brand stand out.
-
Providing day-to-day mentoring, guidance and feedback to another Graphic Designer, supporting their development and helping coordinate workloads.
-
Upholding brand guidelines and ensuring consistency across all visual communications.
-
Liaising with external print and production suppliers where required.
To enjoy and succeed in this role, you will have:
-
Significant experience using Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
-
Strong animation and motion design skills using Adobe After Effects, with experience of Adobe Premiere Pro being advantageous.
-
A strong portfolio demonstrating creative excellence across both print and digital channels.
-
Confidence managing multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
-
Excellent organisational skills and the ability to work independently while contributing positively as part of a collaborative team.
-
Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the confidence to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
-
The ability to interpret complex information and transform it into clear, engaging and visually compelling content.
-
A creative mindset with the confidence to challenge conventional thinking and find innovative ways to communicate messages.
-
A positive, proactive and adaptable approach, with a genuine enthusiasm for continuous learning and development.
-
Experience using Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint, would be beneficial.
-
Experience with Readymag or similar web-building platforms would be advantageous, as would familiarity with Flourish.
-
Experience capturing video content at events would be welcomed but is not essential.
-
Experience working within a professional services, consultancy or corporate environment would be beneficial.
