Midweight/Senior Designer

What we're looking for

We like to work with mavericks. Wild cards. Brilliant, empathetic, creative and strategic thinkers. Talented individuals who are comfortable enough to be independent, but humble enough to know they don’t know it all. We believe in being seriously playful. Making the work the most impactful it can be, and having some fun along the way. If that appeals to you then you’re reading the right job spec.

Topline Role Overview

We're looking for a Midweight or Senior Designer who is a genuinely rounded creative. Equally comfortable building a brand identity, designing a campaign, producing content, and bringing it all to life through exceptional motion work.

Motion is your superpower, but it doesn't define the edges of what you do. You think holistically about how brands look, feel, and move across every platform they live on. You're as engaged in the early concept stage as you are in the final delivery, and you bring real creative conviction to both.

You'll work across a diverse portfolio of ambitious startups, scaleups and major brands - spanning brand identity, campaigns, social content and digital platforms. You'll be a core part of a close-knit design team, and someone we'll invest in for the long term.

We're a growing studio, and we're building our team with that in mind. This role is hands-on for now, but as the team grows around you, so will your responsibility. If you're someone who's led or mentored before and wants an environment where that experience is recognised and developed, you're in the right place. We want people who are hungry to grow, not just looking for their next job.

Responsibilities

You'll work across the full breadth of our output — from brand to campaign to content — with motion as a consistent thread running through everything you make.

Key responsibilities include:

- Developing distinctive brand identities: building visual systems that work across identity, digital, social and campaign platforms.

- Designing and producing campaign assets across channels, from hero creative through to social and content formats.

- Bringing brands to life through motion: producing animation, video and motion-led assets for campaigns, social content and digital platforms.

- Creating motion-led brand systems that define how a visual identity moves, transitions and behaves across touchpoints.

- Producing content across a range of formats: static, motion, short-form video, ensuring work always feels native to the platform it lives on.

- Collaborating closely with strategists, creatives and client partners from early concept through to final delivery.

- Contributing to new business pitches and helping shape the creative direction of proposals.

- Presenting your work confidently to internal teams and, where appropriate, to clients.

- Staying genuinely curious: exploring new tools, including AI-assisted design and motion workflows, to improve the quality and speed of your output.

- Supporting and, over time, helping to guide more junior members of the team as the studio grows.

Requirements:

- 3–5 years of experience in a design role within an agency or creative studio.

- A strong portfolio demonstrating brand identity, campaign work and multi-platform design. With exceptional motion work running through it.

- Solid understanding of brand systems. Typography, layout, visual storytelling and how identities stretch across platforms.

- Strong motion design skills and a deep working knowledge of After Effects.

- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop) and Figma.

- Experience producing content across formats. Static, motion and short-form video; for social and digital platforms.

- Curiosity about emerging creative technologies, including AI tools and new design platforms. Always looking to expand your toolkit.

- Strong communication skills. You can articulate your creative thinking clearly and confidently.

- A collaborative, low-ego approach: you care about the work and the people making it.

- Any experience managing or mentoring junior designers is a welcome plus, but not a requirement.
