Graphic Designer and Social Editor
The opportunity
We are the home of three brands, The Company, In the Driver’s Seat and Sometimes Always, and we produce a high volume of design and video content for all of them. We need one talented designer to be the custodian of how all three look and to make the work. Design and social editing are the heart of this role.
This is a hands-on production role. Alongside the design and social editing, you will cover branding, packaging, print and motion. You will work on the content plan and brand voice set by marketing and focus on what you do best, designing, animating and editing to a high standard at the pace the channels demand. Strategy and copy sit elsewhere.
