Job Description

Innocent started with a simple mission: To make drinks that make it easy to do yourself some good. In 1999 we concocted a few smoothies in our kitchen and tested them on people at a music festival; today we\xe2\x80\x99re blending every type of fruit & veg under the sun and selling drinks right across Europe.

We have great ambitions: To show the world that you can build a successful business that cares about more than just profit, and to leave things better than we find them. We\xe2\x80\x99re proud to call ourselves Europe\xe2\x80\x99s favourite little healthy drinks company, but we\xe2\x80\x99re still growing. And that means we need more brilliant people who share our ambition, to join in with the next, most exciting, part of our story.

What You\'ll Be Doing:

Here in the creative team, we come up with lots of ideas and stick them on a lot of different things. Sometimes that might be a billboard or a bottle. Other times it might be a booklet or a banana. Every once in a while, we\'ll put those ideas on something that doesn\'t begin with a b.

We\xe2\x80\x99re on the hunt for a senior designer/art director who\'s brimming with ideas and knows how to bring them to life in a way that feels truly \'innocent\'.

• Point of sale (sampling stands, barkers, wobblers and aisle fins).
• Internal comms and stuff around Fruit Towers.
• Brand experiences and PR activations.

You\'ll Have:

• A nice portfolio of work that shows the strength of your ideas as well as your design craft.
• A natural eye for making things look amazing.
• Illustration skills.
• The ability to manage projects from start to finish in a timely and efficient way.
• A decent understanding of our brand.
• Experience of working to brand guidelines.
• An attention to detail that a brain surgeon would be proud of.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build great relationships with everyone you work with.
• A strategic mind.

You\'ll Get:

• To work for the company that was named Creativepool\xe2\x80\x99s \xe2\x80\x98Best Brand to Work For\xe2\x80\x99 in 2021.
• To flex your creative muscles on a big range of brand collateral, from packaging to campaigns to brand experiences.

• Loads of free smoothies (obviously).

You will help us to keep doing business the right way \xe2\x80\x93 keeping innocent one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work, using our B Corp status to inspire wider change, and reinforcing our culture of staying little as we grow big.
