Midweight Designer (Branding)

OLS is looking for a meticulous, brand-obsessed Midweight Designer to join its creative studio, delivering high-craft work across a range of channels for global technology-led brands.

You'll be a true brand guardian. You know the guidelines inside out, you hold every asset to the same high standard, and you can find real creativity inside the brand sandbox – while having the judgement to know when a brief calls for stepping outside it. The studio's accounts run across multiple regions, so you'll be just as comfortable adapting a campaign for a new market as you are building the master asset.

The work

• Design and roll out on-brand creative across a broad mix of channels, including emails, ebooks, digital banners, social assets, flyers and printed collateral
• Create event and experiential assets, from signage and booth designs to the supporting print and digital toolkit
• Prepare and supply print-ready artwork, working with printers and production partners to make sure everything lands exactly as intended
• Adapt and localise campaigns for global markets, with an eye for cultural nuance, regional strategy and language considerations
• Apply complex brand guidelines with pinpoint consistency across high-volume rollout, and spot the moments where a fresh idea will move the brand forward
• Take on feedback fast and manage multiple workstreams against tight deadlines
• Collaborate closely with Creative Leads and client stakeholders, and be a genuinely good studio citizen, sharing skills and helping others as you go

You have

• A portfolio that shows brand consistency and craft across a wide range of formats, both print and digital
• Strong experience working within established brand guidelines, ideally on large or global brands
• Exceptional attention to detail – you catch the misaligned element, the wrong colour profile and the missing bleed before anyone else does
• Solid print production knowledge, including colour management, preflighting, bleeds, finishes and supplier specs
• An understanding of how campaigns flex across markets, and experience localising creative for different regions
• Confident Figma and Adobe Creative Suite skills (InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop essential)
• A self-starter mindset, comfortable working independently and taking feedback well

Nice to have

• Experience with GenAI tools – specifically Weavy

Salary

£40,000 per annum, depending on experience.

How OLS works

You'll get thorough onboarding and strong peer support from your Creative Lead, in a studio that moves fast, holds high standards, and backs that up with real support and room to grow.

Location and work pattern

Hybrid. You must be able to commute to the Central London office twice a week.

Right to work

Candidates must have the permanent right to work in the UK. OLS is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.

Benefits

• Annual bonus and profit share: Everyone shares in how well the studio does.
• Time off: 25 days a year, including the Christmas closure, rising by a day a year after three years.
• Work from abroad: Work from anywhere for two weeks a year.
• Health and family: Pension scheme, enhanced maternity and paternity packages, Bupa employee assistance programme, plus free wellness sessions and West End Club discounts for the London team.
• Learning and development: An annual training budget for everyone, a WFH equipment budget, and real time set aside for team learning and innovation.

OLS is a small studio, so it can't reply to everyone individually. If you haven't heard back within a few weeks, there isn't a fit right now – and that isn't a reflection on your work.
