Senior Designer
Leeds – Hybrid Working (3 days office / 2 days home)
£45–55k DOE
Reporting to: Creative Director
Ready to push creative boundaries and help shape the future of design?
We're working with a forward-thinking creative agency that's redefining what great design looks like in the financial services sector. Partnering exclusively with banks, building societies, wealth management firms and insurers, they create work that balances creativity with credibility, helping brands stand out in one of the UK's most competitive industries.
As the agency continues to evolve, AI is becoming a core part of how ideas are explored, developed and delivered. They're looking for a Senior Designer who's already embracing AI as part of their creative process, someone who sees it as a powerful creative partner, not just another tool.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a designer who enjoys variety. From creating brand identities and designing digital experiences to developing campaigns and art directing shoots, you'll have the freedom to work across a broad range of creative projects whilst helping shape how AI continues to influence the agency's future.
If you're naturally curious, commercially minded and excited by where design is heading, this is one you'll want to explore.

Designing engaging websites, digital experiences and user journeys that combine creativity with usability
