Job description
We're looking for a Lead Designer to join our team.
Working as a crucial part of our Design team you'll be focusing on projects that make a real difference to our clients.
This is a full-time position with a mixture of in-studio and working-from-home. Salary is always dependant on experience, however, we're looking around £30k - £40k pa.
Our Lincoln studio is commutable from Nottingham, Leicester, Doncaster, South-East of Sheffield and Hull.
About this role
You'll be a Senior or Lead designer looking to join a growing agency and be a key part of that growth.
This is a great opportunity for the right person to make a real impact on the way we work and the quality we output.
As well as the leadership prospects that come with this role, you'll be responsible for time estimating, attending client meetings, overseeing the completion of all design projects at Epix, and working on design projects yourself.
You'll be an important part of the studio and be able to make a real impact, including inputting into the development of the way we work.
Our bigger projects are always strategy-first, so we don't just dive in and create something pretty.We are insights-focused, which means our projects, particularly for brand and web, go through a rigorous planning stage before we create.
This means you'll be creating work that's beautiful, and that actually performs.Who we're looking for
You'll be highly creative, technically competent and have excellent attention-to-detail.
You'll have experience in crafting brands, print materials (from leaflets to large-scale exhibition stands) and designing user-experience focused website designs that push boundaries (we don't use frameworks here at Epix, everything is bespoke).
Your skills
- Expert knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, including inDesign, Illustrator and XD
- A solid understanding of User-Experience design principals
- A knowledge of accessible design
- Be a strong team player with great communication skills allowing you to work closely with others and nurture and support your team
Your experience
We're looking for a Designer with:
- A portfolio of strong brand, print design, digital design and website work
- all of these must be demonstrated
- 7+ years in an agency and at least 5 years working as part of a team of designers
- The ability to adapt your skills and decision making to meet creative briefs and deadlines
- A dedication to your craft and an excitement to work with a growing team
Why work with us?
As well as being passionate about creating a stress-free, nurturing environment, we also focus on other things that make our team happy:
Hybrid working - We're a hybrid business, working an optional Monday and Tuesday at home, and then meeting in the studio Wednesday to Friday. Getting a fridge delivered on a Thursday? No problem - you can take a number of extra work-from-home days for unexpected life admin.
Wellbeing - Our wellbeing policy means the team can work from home on studio days if they feel well enough to work, or too poorly to come in.
We also believe that life and work should be in balance.
At Epix if something takes longer than expected, or doesn't go to plan, we work out why, which means that overtime is very rare.
Extra holiday - we have a number of schemes for extra holiday including long-service rewards.
Bonus scheme - We have a 6 monthly profit-based bonus scheme, designed to empower the team to succeed and reward them for their hard work.
Career progression & Training - Each team member sits with a Company Director every three months to review goals and progress, with a longer review every twelve months. We also have a conference and events budget.
Roles at Epix have clearly defined progression paths, so you know what to do to drive your career forward.
Social events budget - The team control a Social Budget, free to use for days/nights out and social events. So far we've petted baby chicks, bounced on trampolines, and danced to ABBA - and that was just one event. In another we painted like Bob Ross.
Hippocampus - Each Friday morning at 0900 we have a 30-minute session to invest in our creativity or wellbeing. Try a new craft, practice a technique, or just walk in the morning air - whatever you choose.
There's more - we also have:
- Mac or PC
- your choice
- Onsite parking & café
- Breakout spaces
- Sit/stand desks
- Informal flexibility just ask
Got questions?
Finding the right role can be tough We'd love the chance to tell you a bit more about us and answer any questions.
