Digital Designer

About Us

Future Corp creates digital experiences, platforms and tools for culture and the people defining it. We are a small and close-knit international team that is particularly interested in creating products that are performant, innovative and original.

Our creative growth is accelerated by a company culture where challenging and constantly iterating upon internal processes and workflows is encouraged. Everyone at Future Corp actively contributes to the company’s future.

We work across sectors from cultural institutions, luxury fashion houses, crypto startups and global production agencies to create, celebrate or transform their digital offerings, whether that is an omni-channel e-commerce platform, a new experimental experience or digital/social media strategy, our work spans as wide a range as our clients.

Future Corp works in a collaborative way, with each project having a bespoke team assembled for it — whether it be copywriters, illustrators, developers, art directors or social media consultants. Likewise, we are often brought in by leading design studios such as Made Thought, Zak Group, Bibliothèque, Pentagram and Veronica Ditting to work with them on the digital components of their client’s projects.

Some of our clients include MoMA, The xx, Wallpaper*, Manolo Blahnik, Magnum Photos, Palm Angels, Moncler and more.

The Role

We’re currently looking for a full-time digital designer to join our growing team.

You might be a young designer with experience working in-house or in agencies, looking to work on projects with more profile.

We require a motivated and organised designer who cares about interactive design as much as we do, who has a point of view about their work and who strives to create experiences that people have never seen before. Our ideal candidate is also passionate about best practices and will ensure that what we create is as intuitive and robust as possible.

Your personality is just as important as your skillset, with every team member actively contributing to a positive, collaborative atmosphere.
