Junior Designer

📍 London - Hybrid. 2 days per week in our London office, 3 days remote / work from home (40 hour week) Goodlord’s mission is to be the gold standard platform for renting, and we’re looking for a Junior Graphic Designer to join our Marketing team and help us achieve this. This is a genuinely junior, entry-level opportunity for someone looking to start and build their career in graphic design. You don’t need years of professional experience. You might have developed your design skills through a Graphic Design or Visual Arts degree, an internship or placement, freelance projects, or other practical design work. What matters to us is that you already have good design fundamentals, can show us examples of your work, and are excited to keep learning. Working closely with and learning from our Graphic Designer, you’ll become an important part of our day-to-day creative delivery. You’ll work across campaigns, social, digital, reports, content and events - sometimes creating something new and sometimes taking an established idea and adapting it brilliantly across different formats. There’ll be lots of variety, lots to learn and plenty of opportunity to develop your craft. No two days are ever the same at Goodlord, so what you’ll be up to will vary. We also move quickly, which means priorities can change, and you’ll need to be comfortable adapting when they do (we’ll support you!).
