Mid-Weight Graphic Designer

Can you make a difference to the lives of thousands of young people? Do you want to develop your career within a multi-award-winning social enterprise?

Tellmi is looking for a proactive, versatile, and detail-oriented Mid-Weight Graphic Designer with 3 to 4 years of commercial design experience. This role spans the full design spectrum, from day-to-day production design, asset management, and print preparation through to creative campaign design and concept execution across digital and print channels.

Your role (Production + Creative Design)

This is an end-to-end design role for a creative professional who thrives on balancing core production design with original conceptual work. You will work closely with Tellmi's Co-CEO (an award-winning graphic designer) and the wider team to translate brand strategy into high-impact visual assets.

You will take ownership of day-to-day production design – ensuring consistency, accuracy, and file organisation – while actively pitching, developing, and executing fresh visual concepts for digital, print, and social campaigns.

Key responsibilities

• Creative design and concepting: Develop original visual concepts for multi-channel marketing campaigns, social media advertising, and educational materials tailored to youth and adult audiences.
• Day-to-day production: Efficiently handle ongoing artwork updates, resize graphics for diverse digital platforms, create collateral variations, and maintain brand consistency across all touchpoints.
• Print and asset delivery: Prepare flawless, print-ready artwork for commercial production, proofreading text, and liaising with print vendors when necessary.
• Digital and UI support: Adapt and extend existing visual assets across web, social media (Meta Suite), digital platforms, and light UI/Figma layouts.
• Project management and file hygiene: Maintain tidy, structured, and accessible digital asset libraries for the team, delivering projects reliably on schedule.

Your experience, skills and characteristics

You are confident, dynamic and approachable. You have a positive, upbeat manner and feel comfortable working in a small company experiencing rapid growth (i.e. always lots going on!). You share Tellmi's values: to be creative, caring, self-motivated and to support its ambition to provide users and customers with a service that is empowering and engaging.

Essential

• Experience: 3–4+ years of professional graphic design experience in a commercial design studio or in-house team, with a strong portfolio demonstrating both creative concepting and technical production skills.
• Technical mastery: High proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects) and Procreate.
• Print production expertise: In-depth knowledge of print processes, colour management, bleeds, paper stocks, and exporting accurate print-ready artwork.
• Typography and layout: Exceptional typographic eye, grid structure discipline, and high-level attention to detail.
• Digital and social media: Experience designing for social media channels, advertising campaigns, and awareness of Meta Suite formats.
• Communication and detail: Excellent written and verbal English skills with strong spelling and proofreading ability.
• Mindset: Proactive, self-motivated, and structured. Comfortable balancing quick-turnaround production requests alongside longer-term creative briefs.
• Right to work: Must have the right to work in the United Kingdom.

• Proficiency with Figma or Sketch for digital/UI workflows.
• Basic 2D motion graphics or animation capability (After Effects, Premiere).
• Experience using project management and collaboration platforms like Monday.com and Miro.
• Familiarity with Google Workspace tools.
