The Role

We are looking for a creative and enthusiastic Junior Graphic Designer to join our team. This is a great first step for a talented designer who wants to grow their skills in a fast-paced environment.

• Stay on top of visual trends and creative approaches across social platforms, bringing fresh ideas to the team.
• Assist with the design and production of presentation decks for internal and external use.
