We want someone with hands-on design skills to mentor and develop the team. We see this role as an even split between managing the team and hands-on design work, getting stuck into tasks and projects.
Our overarching goal is to sell our brand, products, and promotions to customers whilst staying true to our values and the highly commercial nature of the business.

Previous use of Mailchimp, BeePro or other email building tools.

Ambitious: we think differently from most companies, which inspires us to be flexible, experiment with new ideas and become even better.
Driven: Take responsibility for your projects, deliver them to a high standard and positively engage with every person you meet.
Savvy: familiar with industry-standard design tools like Photoshop and illustrator, with a basic understanding of HTML and CSS
Collaborative: someone that is happy to help or be helped by other members of the team. We've got a close-knit team of great designers on hand to support each other
