Graphic and Motion Designer

We’re on the hunt for a talented Graphic and Motion Designer to join the herd. You’ll mainly design and create content for our wonderful clients’ social media channels. 

We’re looking for someone with strong graphic design and video editing skills.

You’ll be bursting with creativity and have a keen eye for detail. 

You should have good people skills, a strong work ethic, and a flexible attitude. You’ll be good at sticking to deadlines, happy working independently, and comfortable responding to changing priorities. 

Sound like you? Then read on, my creative friend!

What the job involves

You’ll make graphics, videos, gifs and a host of other visual delights – for social media and other channels as required.

As our Graphic and Motion Designer, you’ll work closely with our Content Strategy Manager, Creative Director and Lead Designer to execute creative projects and campaigns.

An important part of our creative team, you’ll be involved right through our creative process – from interpreting briefs and shaping our creative vision, to delivering solutions and responding to feedback.

You’ll attend creative meetings, both internally and with clients, to ask questions and contribute ideas. And, as you develop in the role, you’ll increasingly work directly with clients to deliver ad-hoc creative support.

We’ll ask you to take responsibility for staying on top of deadlines and communicating problems to the wider team so we can solve them together.

• Ability to create simple graphic animations
• An up-to-date understanding of social media channels and formats, and experience of designing content for them
• Examples of great creative ideas
• Confident communicator with strong people skills
• Happy working independently on your own initiative

Great to have

• The ability to shoot high-quality film or stills
• Copywriting skills
• Welsh language skills

Salary and benefits

In return for all this, we’re offering:

Please get in touch with our Creative Director, Dan – dan@bluestag.co.uk. 

Travel and out-of-hours working

While we’re happy to offer remote and flexible working, there are likely to be some occasions when you need to come to the office for meetings or collaborative work. For these days, you’ll need to be able to get to our lovely place in Cardiff Bay.

Very occasionally, you may need to travel further afield, and there might be some work outside normal hours. We promise to give as much notice as possible, and we’ll always be considerate of any caring commitments you have.  

Diversity is important to us

We believe diversity makes us better at what we do.

We’re an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all suitably qualified people regardless of your age, race, sex, disability, religion, belief, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or family circumstances.
