We're looking for an enthusiastic individual with a passion for creating fabulous documents and materials to join our talented in-house design team as a Client Materials Designer.

As owners of the visual brand, our design team develop and deliver creative content across the business, including marketing collateral, internal communications, UI, as well as design for proposals, pitches and client materials.

The client materials designer will work closely with the team and a designated business area(s) to help create engaging, high-quality materials that are on brand and help deliver the excellent customer experience we strive for across all that we do.

Acting as a champion and advocate for excellent standards in all materials produced for clients.

Driving innovation in format of collateral. Transforming ordinary presentations into engaging experiences.
Upholding brand guidelines and having a strong knowledge of design standards.
Keeping abreast of industry developments to help the business make better use of datavisualisation techniques.
Working with consultants, analysts and inhouse copywriters to make our client advice papers and presentations succinct and engaging.
Building productive relationships with colleagues in marketing and other stakeholders across the business.
When required, liaising with external print and production providers.

Qualifications and Experience:

Advanced desktop publishing software skills in Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint.
An expert in Microsoft packages, e.g. confidence in creating documents/graphics in Word and PowerPoint, as well as creating and styling charts in Excel. Knowledge of building templates within Word and PowerPoint an advantage.
Knowledge of visual accessibility standards in design an advantage.
Additional skills in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign an advantage.
Some experience of working in professional and financial services would be nice to have.

If you enjoy the following, we think you'll love this opportunity:

A keen eye for layout, structure as well as confidence in challenging content to create the most impactful outputs.
Ability to turn complex, technical information into clear visuals.
Used to working with complex data and can suggest alternative ideas for data presentation, including all chart types (scatter, line, histograms) and infographics.
Creative individual with an excellent eye for detail and a 'can do' mindset.
Ability to work well in a fastpaced environment, responding positively to stakeholder feedback and meeting deadlines.
Confidence and enthusiasm for working to tight deadlines, managing multiple projects and performing under pressure.

Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Creative and collaborative, with the ability to quickly generate and adapt ideas to serve communication objectives.

We work alongside employers, trustees and financial services institutions, offering independent pensions, investments, benefits and risk consulting services, as well as data and technology solutions.

That's the who and the what. More important is the 'why'. The work we do may not always seem the sexiest. But it's difficult, it's complex, and it's important.

We help our clients, their employees, members and customers make decisions that have real and direct consequences on their financial futures.

For 100 years we've taken this responsibility seriously. Together, as a team and with our clients and partners, we're here to build better futures.
