Stop.

Breathe.

Now sit down, grab a cushion, stretch out and read on.

Our client is a growing online furniture brand with a fast-paced, creative and collaborative culture. Starting five years ago as a UK sofa supplier they now offer complete home and office furniture ranges in an ever-increasing number of countries. Design-wise they are dedicated to delivering engaging, visually impactful work across digital and print platforms, and are now seeking a talented Midweight Graphic Designer to join their team on a fully remote 12-month maternity cover contract by the start of November; ideally leading to permanent role.

Overview

This is an exciting opportunity for a brand-savvy designer with a strong foundation in creative design to take ownership of projects and make a real impact. Working from your own environment, you will produce high-quality assets that strengthen the brand identity and resonate with diverse audiences. From digital campaigns to print collateral, you’ll be at the heart of bringing ideas to life.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Producing marketing materials such as brochures, presentations, email campaigns and social media assets from concept to fulfilment
• Collaborating closely with marketing, product and content teams to deliver consistent brand messaging
• Managing multiple projects from initial brief through to delivery, ensuring deadlines are met
• Contributing fresh ideas during brainstorming sessions and applying brand guidelines consistently
• Preparing artwork for print and liaise with external suppliers when required
• Supporting photoshoots across the UK (mainly London, but not always)

You

• A 2-4 year stint within agency or in-house design will likely have you at the right level in the team
• Strong portfolio showcasing creativity, attention to detail and getting the most from a brand while staying within the lines – online retail experience would be a big plus but doesn’t define the perfect person
• Experience of designing for both digital and print platforms
• Solid understanding of typography, layout and visual hierarchy
• Motion graphics, video editing or UI/UX design experience would be a bonus
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
• Organised, adaptable and able to manage multiple priorities effectively from a distance

Sofa so good?

This maternity contract will ideally start the first week on November though they have capacity to bring that forward by a couple of weeks if needed. There will be a healthy crossover/handover period and a commitment to teamwork and communication amongst the remote department’s members. They offer a home studio budget to help you get your set-up just right.

Our client is seeking a creative thinker who combines innovation with practical execution. You’ll be confident working independently while thriving in a collaborative environment, eager to bring fresh ideas and deliver visually compelling results. Reporting to a senior designer and working with a team of friendly creative people you’ll be at the heart of this brand’s success and ongoing expansion.
