Senior Designer

About Arrival:

At Arrival, our team is creating best-in-class electric vehicles using a radical new method of design and production. We work with some of the world's leading businesses and governments to achieve our goal of redefining mobility and transport ecosystems, transforming how people and goods travel and enhancing urban environments for all communities.

Innovation, rapid development and testing help us to push the boundaries. Our New Method takes our portfolio of patented technologies created in-house, and combines it with assembly in Arrival Microfactories. It’s a groundbreaking approach, leading to products with maximum functionality, peak efficiency, and an elevated experience – at a much more competitive price than other electric vehicles, and even fossil fuel vehicles.

The role:

We are looking for a Senior Designer to join Arrival’s Brand team in London (hybrid / remote working) to help build and define the Arrival brand as we release our first products and scale globally.

As part of our small, agile, and multi-disciplinary in-house creative team you’ll be responsible for creating and delivering brand materials and experiences across the business. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about brand building, design, art direction and storytelling. You are also capable of balancing quick turn work with long term vision projects.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior creative to help establish and lead by example the work of a world-class creative team whilst defining how the brand team can help shape a company and culture where every brief is an opportunity to create something new, beyond the everyday.
