Senior Marketing Designer

Founded in 2010 by Stuart, Cain and David, we help large organisations improve their speed to market whilst focusing on delivering value to their users and customers. We work with our clients to understand their problems and validate ideas in order to deliver improved process efficiencies, strategic enhancements and new digital products and services (or make significant improvements to existing ones).

Our 3 founders have considerable tech and consultancy experience and still own the company. We’ve been consistently profitable and have grown responsibly from the beginning. We are embarking on the next phase of growth and development.

You’ll be part of Red Badger’s Marketing core services team supporting our client facing business units (Cells). Your workload will be split between Marketing (80%) and People & Culture (20%) teams. You’ll be working in a cross-functional team, partnering with our recently appointed Head of Content to execute content-led go to market campaigns.

You will be a contributor to Red Badger’s brand strategy and will lead all visual aspects of Red Badger’s brand and communications across all our channels. This will require an in-depth understanding of Red Badger’s brand, market, our target audience, our position in the market and our value propositions.
