The ideal candidate is a proactive and detail-oriented individual who can thrive in a fast-paced environment with tight monthly deadlines. This position is crucial for maintaining and enhancing our brand identity across multiple channels, and you will also play a key role in developing innovative campaign concepts for upcoming seasons.

Being hands on with the books as they arrive, you will recognise which books to earmark and use this primary awareness to inform your designs, implementing in-house photography to further enhance campaign creatives.

Reporting to the Marketing Manager, you will work closely with an enthusiastic team that values creative input and a willingness to contribute ideas. Demonstrating a positive, can-do attitude, you will be conversant in interpreting briefs to lead the design of a range of assets for our B2C marketing campaigns across web, email, and social platforms, as well as intermittent print projects such as flyers, bookmarks and event signage. Additionally, you will support the development of our website, designing high-fidelity prototypes and graphics to realise eCommerce merchandising goals and improve user experience.

This is an exciting role with the opportunity to foster a new design direction, devising and creating graphics across multiple media and applying your innate creativity, technical skill, and knowledge of the book industry to expand brand reach and fulfil an important position in the team.

Responsibilities

Elevate customer experience with marketing collateral that drives website traffic and online sales. Deliver all digital assets, considering the target audience and adhering to strict deadlines and the departmental budget.

Support website development, producing comprehensive wireframes and prototypes to validate plans for structure, page layout and content. Apply your design and technical expertise to produce mobile-first graphics and offer guidance on best practices for online content, including SEO and UX. Integrate brand values in all visual communications with customers and ensure cohesion between online platforms and all other sales and marketing. Attend strategic meetings, contributing creative ideas and presenting artwork for seasonal campaigns that keep our customers engaged. Implement in-house photography to support your designs and enhance the creative for campaigns. Collaborate with the team and other stakeholders to progress campaign designs, incorporating their feedback and recommending improved alternatives where appropriate. Work with key stakeholders to create a definitive brand guidelines document to share internally and ensure this is consistently applied by all relevant team members. Maintain a centralised brand assets resource, documenting changes to design guidelines and refining them as our brand evolves. Support with occasional print projects such as bookmarks, flyers, packaging and event literature, and branded signage. Work with our IT department to ensure all designs are both effective and in line with technical requirements.

Robust foundation in core design principles: typography, layout, colour theory, and composition, combined with a technical proficiency in designing for online. Ability to manage the demands of multiple projects concurrently with precision and around varied deadlines. Track record of conceptual thinking contributing to graphics that have previously driven demonstrable website traffic and sales. The ability to work with a team is critical. This includes collaborating and communicating with other departments as well as your own team.
