Lead Brand Designer (founding)

We're working with a consumer business that wants to build a brand with cultural weight behind it, not something that disappears into the category.

The brand is currently being shaped with a leading design studio, and they're looking for someone in-house who can take that thinking further and help turn it into something people really recognise.

They want someone with strong taste, good instincts and a broad visual reference point. Fashion, music, photography, publishing, art direction, motion. Someone who cares about why something feels right, and can make those choices hold together across a brand.

The work will cover identity, campaigns, content, digital, social and launch moments. There's a lot still to shape, which is part of the appeal.

They want someone who can help build something people notice, remember and want to spend time with.

Salary: £75k-80k

Location: East London

You'll probably have:

• strong consumer brand work in your portfolio
• excellent typography and visual craft
• art direction experience, especially across photography and campaigns
• motion work that feels considered rather than added at the end
• a good eye for imagery, composition and pacing
• references that go beyond other brands in the same category
• enough range to make the brand feel consistent without making everything look the same
