This is a broad, hands-on design role combining brand development with the day-to-day creative work of a busy ecommerce business. You'll work across digital and print, from product photography, ecommerce content and websites to catalogues, packaging, data sheets and marketing campaigns.

Just as importantly, you'll have the opportunity to improve how our brands look.

We want to create a stronger, more consistent visual identity across everything our customers see. You'll play an important role in developing our brand guidelines and raising the standard of our creative output across our websites, marketplaces and printed materials.

If you enjoy both thinking about the bigger visual picture and getting stuck into the detail of producing great work, this could be a good fit.

What you'll be working on

Your work will be varied. On any given week, you might be:

Developing our visual identity and creating practical brand guidelines that can be used consistently across our businesses.
Designing and updating product catalogues, balancing strong layouts with accurate product information and fixed print deadlines.
Editing product photography and creating ecommerce graphics that clearly communicate product features, specifications and dimensions.
Creating marketplace content for Amazon, eBay and B&Q, including Amazon A+ content.
Designing product data sheets and other technical and sales materials.
Producing website graphics, landing-page assets, banners and blog imagery.
Creating printed marketing materials including mailwraps, inserts and promotional campaigns.
Supporting email, social and other marketing campaigns with creative assets.
Working with the marketing team to make sure our visual identity remains consistent wherever customers encounter our brands.
Testing new creative tools and workflows, including AI-assisted tools where they genuinely improve the quality or efficiency of the work.

This isn't a role where you'll simply be handed an established brand template and asked to follow it. We'll encourage you to question existing designs, suggest improvements and help us develop a stronger visual direction.

What we're looking for

We're more interested in the quality of your portfolio and how you think about design than a specific number of years' experience.

You'll need:

A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent graphic design, typography, layout and composition.
Confidence using Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
The ability to design effectively for both digital and print.
Strong image-editing skills and an understanding of how to present products clearly online.
The ability to turn detailed or technical information into clear, attractive visual communication.
Good organisation and the ability to manage several projects and deadlines at once.
The confidence to work independently while collaborating closely with the rest of the marketing team.
Curiosity about design and a willingness to suggest better ways of doing things.

Commercial design experience would be useful, but we won't rule out an exceptionally strong designer simply because they haven't followed a conventional career path.

Experience in ecommerce, product photography, print production, motion graphics or video would be useful but isn't essential.

The opportunity

You'll be joining an established ecommerce business where design has a direct impact on how our products and brands are presented to customers.

You'll have plenty of practical work to get your teeth into from day one, but you'll also have room to make your mark: improving existing creative, developing our brand guidelines and helping establish a more distinctive and consistent visual identity.

Hours: 9 to 5, Monday to Friday
