Senior Creative Designer

Founded by brothers Jonathan and Alex Petrides in 2017, allplants makes plant-based living exciting and easy, delivering mouthwatering, healthier food to busy homes UK-wide. The science is irrefutable. Eating more plants is the #1 way to help yourself and our planet thrive. That’s why, at allplants we’ve started by helping the rapidly emergent plant curious consumer, by making eating more plants a supremely positive and exciting choice: a fiesta of flavour, not a fast.

Since launching in 2017, allplants is already the leading plant-based living platform in Europe having served up >8 million meals to UK homes who subscribe for feel-good, healthier living. This track-record resulted in a record-breaking Series B raise in Summer 2021 and our launch into retail.

The plans for 2025 and beyond are as exciting as they are delicious - growing the product range to serve a growing community, scaling our teams and expanding the production space in Blackhorse Road (The Greenhouse). The allplants team is ready to scale their inclusive celebration of food to the next level and is looking for talent like you to join its journey.

The role:

We’re on the hunt for a Creative Designer who is as versatile as the humble Potato, and as audacious as a Romanesco Broccoli.

We are looking to bring a Senior Creative Designer into the team who will be a key crafter of rich brand experiences, which in turn will continue to build our movement for the Plant Curious.

This role will report into the Brand & Creative Lead, it’s a permanent opportunity, with an annual salary of £45,000 - £55,000 [dependent on experience].

Your creative desk will see a broad range of projects from packaging, to devising ad campaigns, to developing thumb-stopping social content. From shopper marketing point of sale, to sustainability impact reports - there will be lots of different challenges to flex your creative wizardry on.

In addition to tackling some of the big projects we also need someone who is happy to work on the little touches too, to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in with our nimble (but mighty!) team. Your skills need to range from developing creative from ‘ideation & concept stage’, to tweaking and flexing current designs with one objective — to positively engage and impact our audience - there’s no vanilla marketing around here.

We have a strong visual identity already in hand, and we are looking for someone who sees the freedom in the framework and can help us take that visual storytelling to new and exciting places.

What You'll Be Doing

• Coming up with original, creative ideas and taking them from scamp to delivery. Bringing bold ideas for allplants to cut through and reach the Plant Curious
• Designing, developing and executing both large and small creative briefs to a high standard
• Applying a social-first approach to campaign roll out, understanding the nuance of the different platforms and presenting commercial content solutions which are platform-led
• Planning, producing and directing photo shoots & campaign shoots with in house team and freelance support when needed
• Presenting your work and ideas to key stakeholders with clear commercial application and rationale
• Take responsibility for guardianship of our guidelines and how they are applied across all customer touch points, working with peers in marketing, product and content to ensure they are used effectively
  
  

Who You Are

• You are highly creatively curious, tuned into the happenings of the cultural world and able to apply them to the brand task at hand
• You have your finger on the pulse of media & culture; with an awareness of visual trends and the language used on social media
• You’re brimming with energy and a creative mind
• You have a strong sense of ‘brand personality’, a love for brand storytelling, and an ability to bring that to life in an engaging way
• You have a roll-up-your-sleeves & get involved mindset, we are a small team, we do the vast majority of work in house
• You possess the ability to inspire and lead creatively, motivating the team through your vision and passion, even without direct management responsibilities.
• The ability to give and receive feedback (radical candour anyone?), understanding the need for it in strong creative practice
• A passionate, positive, self- starter who is keen to make their creative mark on a dynamic young business
  
  

What You'll Need

• Solid design experience, ideally in a busy agency or high growth startup
• Experience in campaign ideation, thinking of marketing campaign hooks & ad concepts, along with graphic design
• A varied portfolio of design, with examples across digital to print, from layouts - that shows your creative genius to more copy-heavy print materials. You are happy to maintain this integrated approach in your next role and enjoy multidisciplinary working
• A flair for copy & brand tone; whilst copy is shared between the marketing team and not the sole responsibility of the Creative Designer, this role needs to be able to generate campaign copy ideas
• To be proficient in the use of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop
• To be fairly confident in video editing, including AfterEffects and Premiere Pro
• Experience and/or an interest in designing wireframes & product features would be a nice to have but by no means essential
• To have compatibility with hybrid working - spending 3 days wfh and 2 regular days a week at our home in Blackhorse Road (and the flexibility to be in for more days on occasions when we have shoots)
• There's quite a bit on this list. If you feel you have some of the experience but not all of it, please do still apply. We love developing our team
