Midweight / Senior Creative Designer

We're working with an established creative agency specialising in retail environments, spatial design and brand experiences, and they are looking for a talented Midweight / Senior Creative Designer to join their growing studio team. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys developing original creative ideas and bringing them to life through compelling 3D design and visualisation.

Our client is open to considering Designers at different stages of their careers, from confident midweights ready to take the next step through to more experienced creatives who enjoy remaining hands-on with the design process. What matters most is your creative ability, your eye for design and your confidence in turning ideas into engaging physical brand experiences. This is a permanent, full-time role in Leicestershire, and they offer hybrid working - 4 days in studio, 1 day remote.

What you'll be doing:

• Developing original creative concepts for retail environments, branded spaces, promotional displays and brand activations
• Creating high-quality 3D designs, visualisations and presentation materials using 3ds Max
• Taking projects from initial ideas through concept development, design refinement and visual presentation
• Using Adobe Creative Suite to create supporting graphics, layouts and visual assets
• Interpreting client briefs and translating them into visually compelling and commercially relevant design solutions
• Collaborating with Creative Directors and the wider studio team to develop and refine creative ideas
• Working across multiple projects while maintaining high creative standards and meeting deadlines
• Considering the practical requirements of materials, production and installation when developing creative concepts
• Communicating and presenting creative ideas clearly to colleagues and, where appropriate, clients

What we're looking for:

• Experience in a creative design role, ideally within retail design, spatial design, experiential marketing, exhibitions or branded environments
• Strong hands-on skills in 3ds Max and Adobe Creative Suite
• A portfolio demonstrating original creative thinking, strong visual impact and excellent 3D execution
• A good understanding of composition, form, materials, colour and how brands interact with physical environments
• Confidence developing creative concepts and translating them into convincing visual solutions
• An appreciation of how creative ideas can be delivered in real-world environments
• A collaborative, proactive approach and the ability to work effectively within a busy studio
• Good communication skills, attention to detail and a genuine enthusiasm for design

What would be a bonus?

• Experience taking ownership of creative projects from brief through to presentation
• Understanding of retail display design, shopper engagement or physical brand activations
• Experience collaborating with production and technical development teams
• Confidence presenting creative work to clients
• Experience supporting or mentoring Junior Designers

We're not expecting every candidate to bring all of these additional skills. The level of responsibility will reflect your experience and capability

Why consider this opportunity?

You'll be joining a creative studio working on varied projects for established brands, with the opportunity to contribute ideas and see your designs brought to life in physical environments. You'll work closely with experienced creative leadership, alongside a collaborative team that values both creative thinking and the technical skills needed to execute great ideas. Whether you're a Midweight Designer looking for your next challenge or a more established Creative who enjoys being hands-on, we'd love to see what you can bring.
