Overview 
Do you love bold ideas? Do you set design trends? Do you have a portfolio full of culturally resonant, fame-driving work? We’re opening applications for a spot on our design team as our newest Midweight Designer.   

This isn’t just another seat in the design department pushing pixels — it’s a key role for designers who value their creative thinking, who thrive on elevating briefs outside of the box to uplift creative work, sell in ideas and create cohesive through-the-line campaigns. 

You’ll work alongside other top-tier creatives, strategists, and makers to develop campaigns that don’t just sit pretty in decks but move people — and judges. You bring energy, optimism and craft to everything you touch.

  • Work with the CDs, Senior Designers and other team members to ensure your design output is creatively excellent.  

  • Ensure your design strategy and concepts are well thought through and inspiring - and your design work is pixel perfect.  

  • Be confident in presenting your work to senior team members and work with them to iterate your work through to finished product.  

  • Be well-versed in using photoshop and/or ai to mock up creative concepts and ideas, helping the wider team turn ideas into visuals to sell in work. 

 

Technical Ability 
 

  • Attentive focus and ability to consistently deliver across multiple formats – both online and offline. 

  • Obsessive attention to detail, with a strong understanding of design layout principles, typography and visual/content information architecture. 

  • Strong knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, with a focus on Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator. An interest in new creative tools and AI to support your design practice. 

  • Some skills in Motion Graphic Design and After Effects would be a great bonus  
     

Leadership & Collaboration 

  • Provide guidance to peers, leading by example with passion, clarity, and skill. 
     

  • Challenge strategies and briefs constructively to drive better creative outcomes. 
     

  • Collaborate with creative and account teams to balance creativity with production feasibility. 
     

  • Raise the bar of creativity and bring other on the journey with you 

  • Contribute to creating a best-in-class creative department through culture and work. 
     

Execution & Delivery 
 

  • Understand and contribute to the full agency process, including production workflows and cross-department collaboration. 
     

 

Skills & Experience 

  • 37 years of experience in a creative agency environment 

  • A portfolio that shows versatility, originality, and standout design with work that has received industry awards and recognition 

  • Strong communication and storytelling skills 

  • A broad range of creative references and cultural insights, in gaming or sports in particular 

  • A collaborative spirit: open to feedback, respectful of others' ideas, and proactive in improving work 

  • A self-starter with great time management and a proactive mindset 

 

Why You? 

You care about making great work with great people. You’re collaborative and visionary. You bring energy, expertise, and originality to every project. And you’re looking for a team who feel like a group of mates, not just colleagues.
