Hine Marketing is an established Gloucestershire-based publishing company specialising in the automotive sector. Founded in 1992, we produce a portfolio of high-quality magazines for prestigious motoring organisations and clubs.

We are looking for an experienced Magazine Designer to join our existing design team. We are open to appointing either one full-time designer or two part-time designers, so welcome applications from candidates seeking either arrangement.

This is a hands-on magazine production role working across multiple titles, each with its own style and production schedule. Previous professional magazine or multi-page editorial design experience is essential.

The role can be predominantly home-based, but applicants must be UK-based and able to attend our Gloucestershire office approximately two to three days per month during busy production periods.

Responsibilities

• Design and lay out magazine pages across a range of titles
• Work with supplied copy and imagery to create attractive, well-balanced editorial layouts
• Maintain the individual style and identity of each publication
• Work across several magazines and production schedules simultaneously
• Produce feature pages, regular editorial pages, advertisements and advertorials
• Make accurate amendments during the proofing process
• Prepare finished artwork to press-ready standard
• Work closely with our editorial, production and existing design team
• Meet fixed monthly publishing deadlines

Essential experience and skills

• Professional magazine, newspaper or multi-page editorial design experience
• Excellent knowledge of Adobe InDesign
• Good working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator
• Strong typography and page-layout skills
• Experience preparing artwork for print
• Ability to work accurately and efficiently across multiple publications
• Good organisational and time-management skills
• Reliable, flexible and able to work both independently and as part of a team

Applicants should be able to provide a portfolio showing relevant magazine or editorial design work.

Hours

Full-time: 37.5 hours per week

We are also happy to consider part-time applicants, with hours and working pattern to be agreed. Depending on the candidates available, we may appoint two part-time designers rather than one full-time designer.

The role offers considerable home-working flexibility, with attendance at our Gloucestershire office required approximately two to three days per month during key production periods.

Salary

£30,000 per annum for the full-time role

For part-time appointments, salary will be calculated pro rata based on £30,000 full-time equivalent.
