Designer

Based out of our London studio, you’ll be at the heart of our innovative Design team. We're looking for a passionate & enthusiastic mid-weight designer to join our team, who is a bold thinker, will hit the ground running, and help bring our creative visions to life. You'll be working alongside some wonderfully talented people, on some of the world’s most loved brands. 

Creative thinking & crafting excellence You own your craft with growing confidence, generating bold, beautiful ideas and refining them into standout creative. You balance concept and execution, pushing the work while sweating the details. You experiment with AI tools to elevate craft, streamline iteration and bring new angles to your ideas.

Strategic & brand alignment You translate brand strategy into relevant, distinctive design. 
You’re thoughtful about the brief and brave enough to challenge it when needed; always constructively, always with care. You look beyond the task to the broader opportunity, helping steer work that resonates.

Studio process & project delivery You manage your workload independently, prioritising smartly and delivering with consistency. Your files are clean, your structure is intuitive, and your communication keeps projects flowing. You spot risks early and work with others to keep the creative on track.

Team collaboration & contribution You’re a steady, positive presence in the team, supporting others with insight, encouragement and reliability. You bring fresh references, thoughtful feedback and a generous approach to critique. You help create a team dynamic where creativity can thrive.

Leadership & mentoring You lead by example, not by hierarchy but by action. You help create the conditions for your team to succeed: by being clear, reliable and inclusive. You share your learnings, bring calm under pressure and model what ‘on it’ looks like.

Commercial acumen You take ownership of your time and the creative value you bring.
You understand how time tracking supports project health, and how scoping affects creative freedom. You stay aware of budgeted hours and make choices that protect both quality and viability.

JDO UK is home to two creative hubs: our headquarters in the historic heart of Royal Tunbridge Wells and our central London studio. Each of us is based at one location, but we work as one team; sharing ideas, collaborating across disciplines and supporting each other to deliver our strongest work.

Moving between the two studios gives us fresh perspectives and new energy, while helping ideas cross-pollinate.

We’re part of JDO’s international network of designers, brand strategists and client partnership experts, partnering with some of the world’s most loved and influential brands. Our work spans brand and creative strategy, packaging and product design, innovation and sustainability, and experiential and campaign activation.

Whatever the brief, we create brand worlds that connect, inspire and stay relevant in an ever-changing landscape.
