Mid or Senior Designer

About Blackline

Blackline is a multidisciplinary creative and marketing agency based in London’s Spitalfields area. We’re small and friendly, but also ambitious. After years of building strong relationships in the retail and real estate sectors, we’re embarking on a new chapter that includes developing our own ventures and partnering with a wider range of brands.

If you’re interested in actively helping an agency to shape its purpose, identity and future, we’d love to hear from you.

About the role

We’re looking for a multi-talented designer to play a key role in our studio, working across a wide range of briefs and disciplines. We can promise you an interesting mix of work, from advertising campaigns to brand development and digital design.

Blackline is at a pivotal stage as we shift gears and build on a strong base of retained fashion and retail clients to take on new work, expand our range, and incubate our own ventures. You’ll play a key role in this next chapter, and as long as you don’t mind some small jobs along with the big ones, we think you’ll find the work varied and interesting.

Key responsibilities:

• Develop conceptual creative responses to a range of briefs, from brand design to advertising and digital marketing
• Play an active role in the wider studio team, partnering with the Creative Director and helping to support and mentor other designers
• Get hands on with clients, helping to shape and present creative work that shows a real understanding of their businesses
• Get actively involved in production, rolling up your sleeves to roll out a wide range of campaign assets
• Keep a close eye on design, branding and fashion to help our clients stay on top of trends
• Take a proactive approach to your own creative development and the studio’s growth
• Be a mentor to junior members of the studio to help guide client work and nurture personal development

About you

When we say multi-talented, we mean it. We’re a small team, but we take on all sorts of work – so the more things you like to do, the better!

Of course, everyone has their strengths. Perhaps you’re a graphic designer with strong conceptual skills. Or a web designer with a secret love of art direction. Maybe you’ve been working in content marketing and have loads of hands-on production experience. It’s all useful, so tell us what makes you tick and what you bring to a team.

We’d particularly like to hear from people with experience in motion design or interface design – or even both.

Great craft skills are also important to us: a love of type, colour, experimentation, and all the details that make the difference.
