Your next big move in design begins here.

Imagine stepping into a workplace alive with creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Based in the heart of Manchester, surrounded by the buzz of Old Trafford, this role blends creativity with purpose. Every pixel, poster, or campaign you create isn’t just design—it’s an opportunity to make our brand unforgettable.

This isn’t your average design gig. You’ll work across branding, digital marketing, and social media campaigns to create work that feels as good as it looks. Whether you’re shaping internal culture or delivering client-facing content, your designs will amplify our message far and wide.

What you’ll be doing:

• Elevating PHMG’s brand identity: Craft visuals that resonate with both internally and externally.
• Owning digital campaigns: Design for email, social, and web with creativity and clarity.
• Mastering the art of typography and layout: Bring ideas to life with bold visuals that tell stories.
• Exploring motion design: Add energy to your work through animation, making messages pop.
• Collaborating with internal teams: Work with writers, marketers, and strategists to refine and deliver compelling creative concepts.
• Building solutions through UX: Apply user-centric design principles to make content functional, intuitive, and engaging.
• Pushing boundaries: Experiment with ideas, formats, and tools to create something truly original.

What you’ll need to succeed:

Technical chops: You’re a pro with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), and bonus points if you’ve worked with Figma, After Effects, or email builders.

Digital and print experience: You’ve done it all, from scroll-stopping social media content to pitch-perfect presentations.

Passion for branding: Typography and consistent brand identity are second nature to you.

UX design know-how: You can take a design from eye-catching to user-friendly.

Team spirit: You thrive on collaboration but can also fly solo when needed.

A growth mindset: You’re ready to embrace feedback, iterate, and push creative boundaries.

A flair for motion: Experience with After Effects or similar software is not a must, but a big plus.

Why you’ll love working here:

Hybrid flexibility: Balance collaboration in our vibrant Manchester office with focused time wherever you work best.

A culture of collaboration: Work with a lovely creative department who values bold ideas and teamwork.

A creative space: Spread across six thoughtfully designed floors, our Manchester HQ reflects the investment we’ve made in creating a home for innovation. With breakout areas, a bar for brainstorming, pool tables, ping pong, gaming consoles, and plenty of coffee, it’s a place where creativity and collaboration thrive.

Perks that matter: Comprehensive life assurance and critical illness insurance, Help@Hand membership, PureGym access, and a smart pension scheme.

A chance to make a difference: From fundraising for the PHMG Foundation to shaping how SMEs connect with their audiences, you’ll create work that matters.
