Mid/Senior Graphic Designer

We have an exciting opening for a graphic designer to join our team full-time in London. Seeking a talented designer with a vivid imagination and a passion for experimentation who can bring their unique perspective to our studio. We are looking for someone who can build rich layered visual universes and knows how to deploy a graphic system across branding and campaigns.



We are a Tokyo-born independent creative agency and have set up our London office in March 2019. As a design-driven creative agency, we are passionate about unlocking the true personality of brands. Help them be more expressive. Help them own their quirks rather than blend into the sea of sameness. Be that through Branding, Communications, Experiential or anything in between. In our quest to express a brand’s true character, we push the boundaries of channels, styles and techniques and look for curious, self-driven creatives that embrace a variety of perspectives.

This position is for a full-time, in-house role at our London office, with a start date in January/February 2026. Most of your time will be spent on London projects but we frequently work in collaboration with our Paris, Tokyo and New York offices as well.

At monopo you will:

• Apply your craft, ideas and experimentation across all fields of graphic design, obsessing over typography, composition, textures and colours.
• This obsession will be applied to branding, advertising campaigns, brand activations, spatial design, print and digital designs.
• Imagine and craft fresh visual universes for brands that want to stand out.
• Develop graphic systems and toolkits for visual identities, brand activation and campaigns.
• Work closely with our art directors and creatives to concept ambitious work that will resonate with their audience.
• Get creatively involved in projects beyond your core skills, based on your own interests.

You’re the perfect fit if you:

• Have a portfolio that shows a habit of experimentation and curiosity.
• Are self-driven to take initiative and pursue creative opportunities.
• Draw inspiration from unexpected places, beyond the design industry.
• Know the ins-and-outs of Photoshop but also feel comfortable in Illustrator, InDesign and Figma. Knowledge of After Effects and 3D are a plus.
• Are open and curious about picking up new skills and learning about new brands, markets and categories.
• Work through kindness. Love to work collaboratively and positively with other creatives.
• Have a keen eye for detail and respect for deadlines.
• Have 3 to 5 years of design experience in a creative, design or branding agency.
• Have a valid UK work visa.
• Love in-person collaboration. We work 4 days a week at the studio + 1 day a week flexibly. We sadly can’t accept remote applications for this role.

We will offer you:

• A diverse and stimulating environment. We’re a growing team of 12 in London and 40 in Tokyo. You will join an experienced team hungry to make work we can be proud of together.
• A rich variety of international brands and projects. From fashion to sports, TTRPG to food, Japan to London, digital to physical, our projects cover a wide variety of categories, challenges and markets.
• A competitive salary based on your experience. We are looking for either a mid-weight or senior designer and will adapt the salary offer based on your level of experience.
• The opportunity to grow based on your own interests and ambitions. If there’s something you want to try or learn, we will find a way to help you do that.
