Where this role fits

Creative Services within Business Development, Clients & Industries - reports to the Creative Lead.

Will partner closely with internal project leaders and stakeholders across pursuits, proposals, campaigns, and executive teams.

Delivery Requirements

AI‑accelerated production that demonstrably reduces turnaround time (concepting, image generation, motion snippets, batch versioning, accessibility variants) without compromising design.

Prompt & workflow playbooks : reusable prompts, settings, file‑hygiene conventions, and template systems that improve consistency and throughput.

On-brand, multi‑format assets across presentations, social, digital and print (brochures, placemats, illustrations, infographics, layouts, motion cuts), meeting agreed SLAs and quality bars.

Stakeholder confidence : clear scoping, options / trade‑offs, and crisp communication via Teams / email, closing feedback loops efficiently.

Mentorship : pairing with junior / associate designers to uplift typography, layout discipline, and practical AI usage.

Core responsibilities

AI & automation leadership

AI-Assisted Design Creation : Leverage approved AI platforms to produce graphics, illustrations, and brand assets that accurately reflect client briefs and maintain alignment with company branding.

Interactive Content Development : Develop engaging, interactive content powered by generative AI for digital marketing campaigns.

Video Content Production : Apply AI-driven tools for the production and editing of video content, including motion graphics, animations, and visual effects.

Build and maintain a prompt library and template kits (PPT master templates, social systems, infographic components); champion accessibility (contrast, alt text, captions).

Evaluate new tools / vendors, run small pilots, and advise on fit‑for‑purpose use cases; escalate risks (licensing, privacy, bias) and ensure compliant usage.

Trend Monitoring : Continuously monitor developments in AI and design technologies to ensure the organisation remains at the forefront of industry innovation.

Workflow Optimisation : Integrate AI solutions to enhance creative workflows, optimise production efficiency, and provide training for team members on these technologies.

Design & art direction

Interpret briefs, research references, and produce thoughtful first drafts to final assets; uphold excellence in typography, hierarchy, and layout.

Create assets spanning brochures, proposals, decks, social, and motion / edits as needed.

Collaboration & client engagement

Partner with project leads and internal clients to clarify requirements, shape options, and guide decisions with rationale and impact.

Communicate proactively on timelines, dependencies, and trade‑offs; capture and implement feedback with speed and accuracy.

Operations & quality

Manage multiple projects concurrently; track progress and hit deadlines.

Ensure brand alignment and file hygiene across deliverables (layer naming, colour styles, component libraries).

People & knowledge sharing

Coach junior teammates on craft, prompt discipline, and ethical AI usage.

Contribute to team learning sessions and documentation.

Contribute positively to a dynamic, high-performing team environment.

Participate actively in organisational initiatives.

Required experience and skills

Qualification in Graphic Design or related field (Degree / National Diploma).

Advanced proficiency in Adobe CC (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign; After Effects and Premiere Pro for motion / video) and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to receive and apply feedback to deliver crisp, on-brand outcomes.

Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy, including flawless typography and intuitive layout design.
