We're supporting a growing consumer-focused business in their search for a talented Digital Designer to join the team on an initial 3-month contract.

• Produce static creative assets that align with brand guidelines and campaign objectives.
• Develop original visual concepts from scratch, rather than relying solely on stock photography or existing product imagery.
• Create engaging visual montages, illustrations, and digital compositions that resonate with target audiences.
• Collaborate closely with copywriters and wider creative teams to bring campaign ideas to life.
• Apply YouTube creative best practices to maximise audience engagement and performance.
• Leverage AI-powered creative tools to support ideation and content creation where appropriate.
• Ensure all creative output is consistent, on-brand, and delivered to a high standard.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience working as a Digital Designer, Creative Designer, or similar role.
• Strong motion graphics experience and a portfolio showcasing both animated and static digital content.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, etc.).
• Strong working knowledge of Figma.
• Experience using AI-powered design tools such as Midjourney, video AI platforms, and other emerging creative technologies.
• Ability to generate realistic imagery and creative concepts using AI tools, such as creating photorealistic people, product visualisations, and attention-grabbing scenes.
• Strong understanding of design principles, typography, composition, branding, and digital marketing creative.
• Experience creating assets specifically for YouTube and a strong understanding of platform best practice.
• Experience working with established brands, either in-house or within an agency environment.
• Ability to take a concept from initial idea through to final execution.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating creativity, commercial awareness, and digital-first thinking.

About You

• You're full of ideas and know what makes people stop scrolling.
• You understand how to create visual hooks that immediately capture attention.
• You're energetic, proactive, and enjoy contributing ideas in a collaborative environment.
• You work well with others and thrive partnering with copywriters, marketers, and fellow creatives.
• You're curious about emerging technologies and excited by the opportunities AI brings to the creative process.
• You balance creativity with commercial objectives and understand how design drives engagement and results.
