NCF Living is a fast-growing retail furniture brand, and we are looking for a creative, detail-oriented Graphic Designer to join our team.
In this role, you will lead the creation of engaging visual content across both digital and print channels, ranging from high-converting website banners and social media assets to in-store POS and promotional print materials.
This is an ideal role for a creative Graphic Designer or graduate looking to drive the day-to-day visual output for a growing retail brand. You’ll play a key hands-on role in producing our website assets, store signage, and social collateral, with room to expand your skillset into basic photo/video capture and AI tools.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Core Graphic & Brand Design (70%)
- Design eye-catching, high-converting assets for web and digital marketing (website homepage banners, landing page layouts, email campaigns, and paid social ads).
- Produce clean, brand-consistent print assets and in-store Point of Sale (POS) materials, including price tickets, store signage, promotional posters, product specification sheets, brochures, and catalogues.
- Maintain, refine, and harmonize NCF Living’s visual brand guidelines across all customer touchpoints.
- Utilise AI design tools (e.g., image generation, retouching, autoformatting) to streamline design workflows and speed up content creation.
2. Visual Merchandising & E-Commerce Support (15%)
- Work closely with the eCommerce team to prepare visual assets for new product launches, promotions, and seasonal campaigns.
- Assist with the visual asset management on the website (e.g., uploading imagery, updating banner assets, and ensuring specs match template layouts).
3. Content Capture & Development Areas (15% – Growth Focus)
- Capture basic product and lifestyle photos/short clips in our showroom/stores for social media and web assets (using smartphone/basic camera kit).
- Opportunity to develop skills in planning, capturing, and editing basic short-form video (Reels, TikTok, store promo clips) to support social marketing.
Skills & Experience
Essential:
- Proven experience as a Graphic Designer (in-house retail/e-commerce or agency experience preferred, strong college/uni portfolio considered).
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and/or Figma.
- Strong portfolio showcasing both digital (web/social) and print (POS/signage/marketing materials) work.
- Excellent attention to detail with strong typography, layout, and colour hierarchy skills.
- Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple deliverables in a fast-paced retail environment.
- Curiosity or experience with modern AI tools (e.g., Firefly, Midjourney, Canva AI) within design workflows.
Desirable / Growth Areas (Not essential, training/support provided):
- Basic experience or interest in video editing, retouching (e.g., Premiere Pro, CapCut).
- Understanding of e-commerce user journeys or visual merchandising principles.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating solid core design principles, typography, and visual judgment is more important to us than pre-existing reprographic or print specification knowledge. Technical production skills can be developed through internal mentoring and training in this role.
The role offers an immediate start for the suitable candidate.
