Start: Monday, 18th May

Length: 1 year

Work set-up: Hybrid (1-2 days on-site, Tue-Thu preferred) - No remote

Client: Large insurance group

Location: Aldgate, London

Rate: £375 per day

Working days: Full-time (5 days a week)

What the role involves

The majority of the output is marketing communications, brochures, presentations, LinkedIn carousels, internal communications, and reports.

The studio designs across a group of companies spanning industries including technology, private wealth, sport, energy, and finance, so there's genuine variety in the work.

There's also involvement in internal campaigns and events.

It's a broad remit, and the expectation is that you can move confidently between channels.

Strong editorial instincts are important.

This client wants someone who knows how to use typography and layout to make information genuinely engaging, not just presented but designed.

What they're looking for

Solid agency experience and a clear point of design view.

The portfolio needs to show typographical layouts with real editorial work.

Colourful and minimal, structured but not rigid, and definitely not cookie cutter corporate.

Strong working knowledge of branding, layout, and data visualisation is expected.

You should be able to take dense or complex information and make it look clean and readable across both print and digital.

Attention to detail matters here, spacing, hierarchy, and the way a grid holds together across a document.

Working Pattern

Hybrid. One to two days in the office per week, depending on location, flexible on specific days, though Tuesday to Thursday are when most of the team are in.

How to apply

Send your CV and portfolio. The portfolio carries the most weight, strong editorial design, confident typography, and work that shows you can operate at a senior level across both print and digital.

Rates depend on experience and client requirements.
