Creative Designer

You’re a passionate designer. Ego-free, and as creative as you are collaborative.

But you’re ready for a change. You’re craving a close-knit culture. A like-minded team. An empowering ethos. And an opportunity to build something exciting with a team where ideas mean everything.

Sounds good? Good. Because those are the things we can guarantee.

We’re recruiting for a creative designer with 5+ years’ experience and with an appetite to forge your own relationships with clients. Supported by colleagues, but without the traditional account management layer that can sap the chemistry and connective energy from your work.

You’ll be part of Fluid’s Strategy & Creative team, where you’ll play a central role across a diverse portfolio of clients, owning two or three of your own relationships, with a particular focus on creative campaigns and brand development.

Requirements include:

  • Strong and rounded design skills.

  • Minimum five years’ experience.

  • Fluency in Adobe Creative Suite.

  • Appetite to work directly with clients.

  • Collaborative and communicative.

Closing date for applications: Monday January 20th 2025

Interview process

We operate a three-stage interview process, which starts with an informal culture chat, where you’ll meet our head of people and culture, and your team leader. If the chemistry feels right, the next stage is a more formal interview, with the third stage being a small-scale test project. We pride ourselves on the multi-disciplinary collaboration at Fluid, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet colleagues from across Fluid’s five teams throughout the process.

We’re really fortunate that we get to work with all of the teams within Fluid quite often.

It’s great from a creative point of view to work with a team that has a specialist in every area. They can provide valuable input and knowledge as we're developing the creative. It means there’s less restrictions on the creativity we can produce.
