Senior Brand Designer

XX is looking for an experienced full-time Senior Brand Designer to join our team. In this role, you will lead the development of visual brand identities and design systems for a diverse range of clients.

As a senior member of the team, you will also work alongside our Creative Director and collaborate closely with strategists and project managers to deliver work that pushes boundaries for our clients.

What you’ll do:

Shape impactful brands: Be comfortable and experienced in driving branding projects from brand idea through to client adoption.

Partner closely with clients: Engage directly with ambitious clients to deeply understand their challenges, confidently present your thinking, and collaboratively shape your work through workshops and open-minded, optimistic communication.

Mentor with care: Guide and engage with other designers and creatives at the studio and adopt our culture of curiosity and craft.

Manage projects thoughtfully: Be comfortable in balancing multiple projects, self-intiative to prioritise tasks strategically, and communicate proactively with project managers to ensure deadlines are consistently met.

Champion creative excellence: Continuously uphold and elevate our studio’s standards, inspiring the whole studio to explore new creative territories and push the boundaries of conventional design.

Collaborate across disciplines: Work seamlessly alongside strategists, copywriters, developers, and external specialists to ensure brand consistency across all channels.

Stay inspired: Keep your finger on the pulse of emerging design trends and cultural shifts, actively sharing insights to inspire the team and bring energy to client work.

Who you are:

Experienced: You must have at least 5 years of building brands with a thorough portfolio showcasing visual identities, exceptional knowledge on typography, layouts and visual storytelling.

Skilled and agile: Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, and adaptable to new digital tools. Quick sketching, motion or idea visualisation skills (digital or analogue) are a plus.

Strategically creative: You really thrive in exploring and discussing big ideas and capturing detail, always with an eye on the strategic and commercial intent behind your work.

Clear communicator: You articulate design decisions clearly and confidently to clients and teammates alike. Fluent English is essential.

Collaborative spirit: You enjoy working primarily remote, however are still keen to collaborate regularly in person, but always closely within a team, openly exchanging feedback and positively contributing to our studio’s culture.

Adaptable and curious: Enthusiastic and excited about tackling varied projects across industries, always eager to learn more and comfortable in sharing your insights.

Passionate: Deeply passionate about branding, design, strategy, and culture - excited by the possibility of design to influence perceptions, behaviours, and change.

Why join us:

Location: We are remote-first + residences model (https://www.itsnicethat.com/articles/pov-the-physical-design-studio-is-waning-creative-industry-190325); however, we do regularly collaborate in-person, so London-based is our preference.

Annual Retreats: A fully paid-for week away, where the whole team and closest collaborators come together, get some needed R&R (preferably in the heat!).

Holiday time: 23 days annual leave, plus bank holidays, birthday and an extended winter break to recharge.

Half Days: Every second Friday, the studio is closed from lunchtime, and every 6 weeks, we go to an exhibition as a team.

Plus: Dedicated quarterly budget for personal learning and development, and private healthcare through Vitality, covering wellness benefits like gym memberships and meditation apps.
