Position Overview & Specifications
At UK Greetings we live and breathe creativity. We’re very proud of our talented teams and award-winning product lines. We are currently looking for a mix of permanent and temporary new designers to join our amazing and diverse creative team.
As one of our designers, you’ll have a real passion for all things creative, you’ll follow the latest design, fashion and lifestyle trends and you’ll be able to bring to life your ideas and creative solutions with skill, quality and pace. You’ll be adaptable and versatile across a broad mix of styles and be able to work alone, as well as part of a team. You’ll be skilled in a range of techniques from mac-based design through to illustration, lettering and painting.
You’ll also have a deep understanding of design principles like colour, typography and composition. Working at a fast pace, you should be confident around a Mac and the latest design software.

If this sounds like your perfect opportunity, then we would love to hear from you!
Please submit a portfolio of your work - applicants without work examples will not be considered.
