Senior Designer

We’re MATTA, and we believe sport, fitness, and well-being matter. We believe they improve people’s lives, and make the world a better place.

We’re an independent creative agency specifically for sports, fitness, and wellbeing brands. Our campaigns have won multiple awards, we have been Agency of the Year several times over, and we are one of the fastest growing sports businesses in the country.

We build strategies, design brands, hatch big ideas, create advertising campaigns, produce content, and we have a design, video, and edit studio in-house. We’re based in London, but the majority of the work we do is global.

We are looking for a talented, highly motivated Senior Designer to join our Design Team, to work across both our brand and campaign projects. Alongside the Creative Team, the Design Team is responsible for developing an existing art direction into finalised pieces of functional, well crafted executions.

With our ever increasing portfolio of branding projects, we are looking to hire someone with the right expertise for this field and it is essential that your portfolio reflects this, both in terms of the final execution and your design process.

Your strengths and experience:

• At least five years design experience, gained within a design studio;
• A stand out portfolio with a wide range of work, encompassing social, web and print assets with clear focus on brand identities and brand campaigns;
• Proven expertise in formulating and applying brand guidelines;
• A solid understanding of design principles;
• Passionate about the overall user experience;
• Curious about emerging technologies and how it can boost our design output;
• A keen eye for typography, composition and layout;
• Proficient at retouching and creating bespoke image treatments;
• A meticulous eye for detail;
• Thorough knowledge of the Adobe Suite, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign;
• Demonstrable eagerness to work in the sports marketing industry;
• Excellent communication and relationship building skills;
• Strong initiative and proactivity;
• Plenty of experience working with Creative Directors and Art Directors;
• Organised with the ability to work to varying deadlines and budgets;
• A natural leader with a willingness to share knowledge;
• A team player through and through, and a natural relationship builder;
• A great work ethic and a can-do attitude;
• Confident in creating, presenting and selling your design concepts to peers and clients alike.

Our Values:

We take pride in all we do - doing what we say we will, when we say we will do it to the highest possible standard.

We work together - fostering great teamwork and a shared sense of achievement, treating others as we would want to be treated.

We are brave - never settling for good enough, we are innovative and always push for more.

We have drive - because we know you get out what you put in, and want to be your best.

We stay true - because we have a deep well of personal and professional integrity and instinctively know the right thing to do.

Whatever we do, we #makeitmatta.
