Our content pieces are intended to make waves and our work is regularly shared at large by some of the world’s biggest online publishers.

No two days will be the same, and the position will provide opportunities to work on design projects across a wide range of digital formats and industries which are both bespoke and unique.

Some examples of these formats include:

• Creating designs as part of content marketing projects

• Working with members of the content team and developers to shape research into a suitable design idea
• Providing and sharing knowledge on new design techniques and innovations within the creative process
• Considering usability as part of any of the design production process
• Ensuring that the final product meets the requirement of the client and the brief
• Working with the wider team where required to make improvements and changes to content
• Working effectively to produce work within the require timescales
• Co-ordinating with freelancers and other internal designers with specific skill sets on their input
• Looking at project feasibility with an eye on balancing innovation with constraints on time and resources

This is a crucial and exciting new role as we expand our Content Marketing team, so we’re hoping to bring someone into the team who can make an impact quickly.

We’re seeking someone with:

• Raw design talent! In a nutshell, just having that wow factor in the work you produce

• Being a creative all-rounder with an interest in the overall process of researching and producing quality content
• An eye for detail, being able to highlight and action amends where changes are required
• An ability to communicate well with colleagues
• A passion for design and sharing and using new techniques with colleagues and in your work
• Basic knowledge of CSS and HTML and an interest in UX would also be welcomed.

Skills like yours come at a price, we get it. In addition to a competitive salary, you’ll also enjoy:

• A fantastic working environment with a brilliant team.
• 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays – that’s more than your average!
• Regular social activities and events, plus a Christmas party in AMSTERDAM. Yep, you read that right.
