Graphic Designer

At Cubitts, we love telling stories. We’re looking for a passionate Graphic Designer who can help us bring these stories to life, building a compelling visual world that will engage new and existing customers.

40 million people wear spectacles in the UK alone, but the optical industry hasn’t changed in more than three centuries. Products are tired, standards are poor, and glasses wearers have got used to sub-standard experiences. We’re going to change that.

We're looking for a talented and passionate creative brain who can develop innovative, intelligent design solutions for our growing company. You are the powerhouse who makes beautiful things happen.

You’ll work alongside some of the most talented writers, designers and creative brains. What you’ll bring to the table is that rare gift - someone with imagination and creativity but also the determination to make things happen and an attention to detail that leaves no margin or pixel unconsidered.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing and producing assets for our beautiful stores.
• Designing and creating assets for our website, CRM and social channels. Developing templates that improve efficiencies.
• Designing and producing internal brand assets and documents.
• Creating design solutions for our brand partnerships, artist collaborations and events.
• Prioritising the customer, with an awareness of how meaningful communication design can contribute to a superior customer experience.
• Working alongside other members of the creative team to conceptualise and art direct creative content for our digital channels and bi-annual print publication, The Spectacle.

RequirementsWho you are:

• 4+ years experience working in a creative studio/agency or brand. You have an elevated design style.
• Obsessed with typography—you have a favourite typeface, and hate seeing type badly used. You could talk for hours about kerning and line breaks.
• A lover of design systems and grids. They form the basis of your toolkit to create purposeful design.
• A fervent believer that design changes lives—you feel as passionately about an everyday object like a door handle or pencil sharpener, as you do about something that hangs on a gallery wall.
• Your interest in design extends beyond the page, to product design, art and architecture.
• Creative and curious by nature with an abundance of ideas and knowledge of the market.
• Fluent in the Adobe CS and Figma. 2D animation skills would also be welcome.
• Photography skills for in-house production requirements.
• A self-starter, you come armed with ideas and solutions before you’re asked.
• Proven agility when managing competing priorities.

Your Goals

• Be the guardian of our visual identity, ensuring pixel-perfect consistency across all touchpoints.
• Demonstrably elevate the quality of Cubitts creative, making us recognisable and famous for our visual output.
• Innovate, rather than follow the crowd to present design solutions which are highly effective whilst being mindful of budget and environmental impact.

BenefitsSome nice things you’ll get:

• Complimentary spectacles
• Bespoke holiday allowance
• Personalised training and development with exclusive access to the YCN platform
• Yoga classes and lots of company socials
• Mental Health Partnership with Champions Health
• Qualified financial expert with Bippit
