As a fast-paced Creative and Marketing Agency, we are seeking a creative, passionate and enthusiastic Senior Graphic Designer who is looking to take their creative career to the next level.
Working as the lead Graphic Designer within a fast-paced, full-service agency, this role will be perfect for somebody with previous agency experience who is now looking for autonomy and ownership. This role offers excitement and diversity, with an opportunity to build your creative team over time.

More About The Role
As a Senior Graphic Designer, you will work closely with our marketing and technical teams to support various clients and creative duties.
This role comes with autonomy and responsibility, and the ability to be well organised, work with an agile project management structure and practice excellent communication is essential.
This role will only suit individuals who have previous experience working within an agency.
Why Media has an excellent reputation for delivering the highest quality work, especially for branding, website design and digital graphics, due to our ability to engage our clients and their clients with impactful, relevant creativity through graphics, video and words.
