Graphic Designer

The ideal candidate will love getting involved in all aspects of the design process, from experimentation to pitching and creative execution.

You'll be working with our team to deliver brand identities and brand assets that meet challenging briefs, adding value to clients where possible.

You'll be client-facing, so management of time and the ability to handle the good and bad is a must.

Must Haves

• A passion for design and creativity, keeping up to date with the latest industry news and trends


• A passion to progress through creating innovative work that stands out in the industry - questioning the norm


• Experience in graphic design, with a portfolio of work for clients or self-commissioned projects


• Excellent organisation and planning skills with the ability to work on a number of projects simultaneously


• Excellent attention to detail


• Excellent communication skills for team projects and building/ maintaining client relationships


• A willingness to work on client proposals and presentations, demonstrating an understanding of client briefs


• Experience in using Apple MacOS and Adobe CC. Figma is useful for digital projects but not essential for this role.


Desirable

• Experience in digital projects with a basic understanding of UX/UI (but we can build on the latter if needed)


• Experience in motion design/animation.
  
  Over the past 10 years we've delivered brand identities, campaigns, and websites to clients big and small including Lancaster University, James Cropper PLC, Angstrom Technology, Royal Westmoreland Barbados, Mazuma, and Lincrusta to name a few.


We're a small but growing team, and we're looking for another graphic designer to join us.

We are looking for the right person in terms of attitude and ambition, so welcome applicants of all experience levels; whether you're a junior just starting in the industry, or someone looking to make a step up.

We believe in diverse minds and a shared mindset - ultimately looking to deliver on projects that wow and make an impact.

We take our work seriously but have fun in the process, experimenting creatively where we can and learning from the best at leading industry events like OFFF Barcelona which has become our annual getaway for a creative reset. Outside of work, we're quite competitive (take a look at @we_are_EXP for how The Cube at Christmas went).


• We're advertising the role as full-time at 37.5 hours per week, but we'd consider part time 0.8 at 30 hours


• 33 days annual leave including bank holidays


• Flexitime available from day one


• The team is primarily based in Lancaster and works hybrid with two contact days at Fraser House. We also have a base at Clockwise in Manchester.
