Job Description
Midweight Designer — Brand & Systems
Team: Luke Powell & Jody Hudson-Powell
Studio: Pentagram London
The Practice
We’re a multi-disciplinary Partner-lead team at Pentagram, working where design, technology and oddity overlap. Our practice blends commercial rigour with experimental research, spanning AI, fashion, film and cultural identity.
We treat design as a living system. Whether we’re building brands, behaviours or tools, our work explores how identities operate across motion, code, interaction and narrative.
The Role
We’re looking for a Midweight Designer with a strong core in brand design, typography and a growing fluency in motion. Someone who thinks conceptually, crafts meticulously, and has strong foundational concept skills.
You’ll be joining a tight, collaborative team - headed up by Luke and Jody, the team is currently made up of two Producers, six Designers, two Motion Designers, and a Team Assistant.
This role is ideal for a designer who thrives in both independent and collaborative modes, who enjoys exploring new tools, and who’s excited by the idea of building identities that behave, respond and evolve.
The Work
Brands that move, systems that scale.
Your work will contribute to brand worlds that extend beyond static guidelines. You’ll help define how a brand feels, behaves and communicates across formats - from foundational identity design to motion studies and prototypes.
You will:
- Conceive and develop visual systems that adapt, rather than exist only as static outputs
- Craft compelling design, typography and layouts across a wide range of sectors
- Explore how ideas translate across strategy, brand narratives, graphic and motion design, and digital interaction and UI
- Work closely with the motion and 3D team, and often creative coders
The Toolkit
Core:
- Figma
- Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)
- After Effects (for storyboarding, motion studies and prototyping)
Extended (desirable, not essential):
- Cinema 4D
- Glyphs
- HTML/CSS/JS
- Houdini, Substance Designer
- Unity or Unreal
- Blender
The Details
- Full-time, permanent
- London studio (Hybrid — 3 days in the studio, 2 days remote)
- Salary depending on experience
- Annual pay rises dependent on progression
- 20 days holiday to start + Christmas closure + Bank Holidays
- Medicash and Cycle-to-work scheme, pension, and lunches provided in-studio by chef Musa
