Senior Designer

We’re looking for a Senior Designer to join our in-house Creative Team. We are responsible for driving the pick-up appeal and cultural relevance of both of our snack brands, PROPER and Eat Real. We produce everything in-house, from our packaging to our brand campaigns and everything in between. With a hunger for both brands to be bolder than ever before, we are now on the hunt for a brilliant Senior Designer to help us double the brands over the next 2-3 years.

They’ll be highly creative with a finger-on-the-pulse when it comes to culture. They’ll thrive in a fast-paced environment.

• Be the design guardian for both brands, signing off all day-to-day design, and inspiring the wider business to adhere to brand and visual guidelines.
• Lead the packaging process from the point of creative sign-off to production: briefing the artworking agency, reviewing and signing off packaging artwork, and passing colours on press.
• Commission creative partners where relevant: typographers, photographers, and illustrators.
• Support the Studio Manager to find the right surge resource, whether it be freelancers or agencies.

Requirements:

• Minimum 8 years’ industry experience.
• Brilliant creative portfolio demonstrating a breadth of work and a visual synergy with the PROPER brand.
• Brilliantly strategic mind. With a keen interest in the business context and drivers.
