Graphic Designer

YOUR MOVE.

You’re an experienced designer, but you know you’ve got more to give.

You want to expand what you do, take on more responsibility and grow into a more rounded designer. Not by climbing another rung on a job title ladder, but by working across different challenges, formats and parts of a business.

That’s where Maven comes in.

ABOUT MAVEN

Maven is an independent brand and experience consultancy based in Brighton. We work mainly with technology businesses and other organisations with complex problems to solve.

We believe the best creative work starts with understanding the business. So we get involved early, ask difficult questions, shape the strategy and then turn that thinking into joined-up brands and experiences across screens, print and physical spaces.

THE ROLE

We need someone who can move from a website to a workplace, a campaign to a customer journey, or a brand identity to a wayfinding system without worrying whether it fits neatly inside their job description.

Our work covers brand, digital, print, campaigns, video, content, interiors, events and signage.

We’re not asking for expertise in all of it. We’re looking for someone interested in the whole picture, with an awareness of how the different parts work together and the curiosity to keep learning.

YOU’LL BRING

• Strong graphic design foundations

• A good body of professional work

• Confidence taking ownership of your work

• The ability to explain and present your ideas clearly

• Curiosity about businesses, audiences and complicated subjects

• Experience across digital and print

• A hands-on, adaptable and collaborative approach

• Good judgement, attention to detail and a willingness to ask questions

Experience in branding, web design, motion, video, environmental graphics or wayfinding would be useful. You do not need to be an expert in everything.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

You’ll have support when you need it, but also the space to stretch yourself, try new things and play a bigger part in the work.

We’re a hands-on team, so there isn’t much room for ego, hiding or saying, “That’s not really my thing.”

WHERE WE WORK

Maven is based on Middle Street in central Brighton.

We work flexibly, but we like working together and want someone who will spend regular time in the studio. Creative collaboration is harder when everyone is a small rectangle on a screen.

This is a hybrid role, not a fully remote position.

SALARY

£28,000 to £32,000, depending on experience.
