Senior Creative Retail Designer

This is not another retail design role. This is an opportunity to step into a high-growth, design-led agency shaping how some of the world’s most ambitious brands show up in physical space.

Working across technology, lifestyle, FMCG and emerging sectors, this studio delivers end-to-end retail experiences from concept through to global rollout. This is a permanent, full-time role and details of the salary will be shared on application.

Ideas here don’t sit in decks. They get built, experienced and scaled internationally.

Location: Studio-Based (Hybrid) | Leicestershire, UK

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Creative Retail Designer to play a pivotal role in the studio, someone who can lead thinking, influence outcomes and elevate the work. This is a hands-on creative leadership role, sitting just below Creative Director level, with real visibility across both clients and internal teams.

• Drive concept and ideation on retail environments, POS and brand activations
• Translate ideas into beautiful, buildable design solutions
• Work directly with global clients, contributing to creative conversations
• Mentor and elevate midweight and junior designers
• Collaborate closely with technical, project and strategy teams

What Sets This Apart:

• Immediate impact: filling a genuine senior gap in a growing studio
• Creative influence: not just executing, but shaping direction
• End-to-end exposure: from idea through to physical delivery
• Momentum: a strong pipeline of new business and sector expansion
• Collaborative culture: designers, developers and PMs working side-by-side

What you will provide:

• Proven experience in retail / POS / spatial design
• Strong conceptual thinker with a portfolio that shows ideas, not just outputs
• Advanced 3DS Max + V-Ray capability
• Confident working across materials, manufacturing and feasibility
• Strong communicator, comfortable presenting to clients
• A collaborative, proactive mindset with energy and creative ambition

Exposure to AI tools, sketching, or cross-sector experience is advantageous.

The Environment:

• Studio-first culture with high collaboration and fast idea exchange
• Hybrid working (typically 1 day remote)
• Close integration between creative and technical teams
• Opportunity to influence both existing clients and new business work

This role will suit a true senior looking for more ownership, or a top-tier midweight ready to step up. An ideal role if now is the time to:

• Create work that actually gets built
• Have a voice in the room
• Be part of a studio that is growing, winning and evolving

Please apply with your CV and portfolio.
