Executive Mandate Specification

Job Description:

· Communicate design concepts and ideas effectively to the team and stakeholders.

· Inspire, inform, and captivate consumers through original design ideas.

· Continuously evaluate and improve the design process, tools, and techniques to ensure that it is efficient, effective, and innovative.

· Adhere to design standards, brand guidelines, and quality control procedures to ensure that all products meet the highest standards of quality and design excellence.

Requirements:

· Understand how design adds to the user experience and commercial value.

· Be a problem solver and make an impact on the company's success.

· Proven ability to effectively interpret briefs and design within brand guidelines

· Strong layout, typography, and photo-editing skills

· Excellent working knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat)

· A strong creative instinct and a passion for design.

· A degree in graphic design or a related field.

· Strong portfolio showcasing design skills and previous work.

· Experience working in a fast-paced environment.

· Excellent communication, time-management, and problem-solving skills.

· Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Minimum of 3 years experience in commercial (in-house, agency or freelance) graphic design. You will be required to demonstrate your work and skills through your portfolio

This position will allow you to join a close-knit and talented team and offers the chance to take creative ownership over existing and yet-to-be-imagined product ranges within an established retail organisation.
