Senior Designer
Job Description
We Mean This is a certified B Corp that helps brands make a meaningful impact. We craft considered design solutions for a diverse range of clients, from exciting start-ups to globally recognised names like National Geographic. Our work spans brand identity, web design, digital reports, animation, packaging, and much more. We believe in the power of design to make a genuine difference and are committed to ethical practices and making a positive impact on our planet and society.
Our small but mighty team is growing, and we're looking for a talented Senior Designer on a full-time basis (or 4 days pro rata if you would prefer) working remotely. If the candidate lives locally, then a hybrid model with some time in the office in Winchester could be discussed. We are open to non-UK-based employees, but your time zone would need to be the same as the UK or GMT+/-1.
You'll be working alongside our Design Director and two midweight designers, contributing to and leading projects from concept to completion.
What you'll be doing:
- Leading the design of considered brand identities, websites, and multi-channel communication materials for a variety of clients.
- Taking projects from initial brief and research through to conceptualisation, development, and final delivery, ensuring the highest quality output.
- Translating strategic objectives into innovative and effective design solutions that resonate with our clients' audiences.
- Collaborating closely with the wider team, contributing to a supportive and creative environment.
- Mentoring and guiding junior members of the team, fostering their growth and development.
- Confidently presenting creative concepts and design rationale to clients.
- Managing your time effectively across multiple projects, ensuring deadlines are met.
- Staying current with design trends, industry best practices, and emerging technologies.
- Championing our purpose-driven approach and B Corp values in all aspects of your work.
What we're looking for:
- A strong portfolio showcasing a high level of design thinking and execution across branding, digital, and print projects.
- Significant proven industry experience: Ideally 7+ years.
- Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and Figma. Experience with motion design (e.g., After Effects) would be a distinct advantage.
- A deep understanding of brand strategy, typography, layout, and user experience.
- Excellent conceptual thinking and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail and craft.
- Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate design decisions clearly and persuasively.
- Experience in leading design projects and an aptitude for mentoring.
- A proactive, collaborative, and enthusiastic approach to work.
- The ability to manage projects and work effectively both independently and as part of a team.
Why We Mean This?
- Make an Impact: Work on projects for clients who are striving to make a positive difference.
- B Corp Certified: Be part of a business that meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability.
- Creative & Collaborative Culture: Join a friendly, supportive, and ambitious team that values big ideas and meticulous execution.
- Varied & Exciting Projects: Get involved in a wide range of creative challenges for diverse clients.
- Growth & Development: We are committed to the growth of our team members.
- Flexible Working: The role is fully remote, although we would consider a hybrid working model for those local to Winchester.
If you're an experienced Senior Designer with a considered approach to design and a desire to contribute to a forward-thinking agency, we'd love to hear from you.
