We’re recruiting for a skilled and creative Graphic Designer to join our Marketing department, based at a vibrant head office in Hillington, Glasgow.
Hours
Monday to Friday, 9am – 5.30pm, Hybrid Working
About the role
You'll be part of Scotland's largest (and Award Winning!) Marketing team, and you'll gain experience fast, working on national campaigns that are seen by millions of people every year. As our new Graphic Designer, you’ll be bursting with fresh ideas and creative flair, with the ability to apply your skills and deliver on a variety of exciting and challenging briefs. You won’t shy away from a tight deadline, and will relish the chance to use feedback and user testing to iterate and improve.
You’ll love staying up to date with latest trends and technologies and demonstrate true passion for your work. And if messy Photoshop files and stray pixels drive you crazy, you’ll fit right in. You’ll be taking projects from ideas on paper through to planning and design – so it’s vital that you’re able to communicate well and confident in managing your own workload.
Day-to-day duties
- Designing marketing campaign material, annual reports, press adverts, vehicle graphics, display advertising and loads of other top-secret stuff we have planned.
- Pitching concepts and campaign materials, with a willingness to take the time and iterations needed to really deliver on a brief.
- Collaborating closely with executives, copywriters and stakeholders to give life to your creative ideas.
- Working to tight deadlines, without losing that all-important attention to detail.
Essential skills
- Strong design background and proficiency in using Creative Suite.
- A proactive attitude, and lots of enthusiasm for the task at hand.
- A dynamic style that translates equally well across both print and digital work.
- Plenty of experience working with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Nice to have (but not essential)
- Working knowledge of HTML and CSS.
- A strong portfolio that demonstrates previous successes, and enjoy staying up to date with the latest trends and technology.
As for benefits, we’ve got you covered:
- Bonus scheme - hard work is rewarded at Arnold Clark with our bi-annual, performance-related bonus.
- Time to get refreshed - 33 days annual leave
- Flexible hybrid working - enjoy the best of both. Work in our vibrant Head Office with flexible start/finish times. Plus, you’ll have the option of choosing your days working from home.
- Not a suit in sight - our dress code is business casual, so jeans are allowed!
- Development and progression - we offer development and training opportunities to keep your marketing skills ahead of the pack.
- Industry events - you’ll have the opportunity to attend industry conferences and courses.
- Creative workspaces - our office is vibrant and open plan with many collaborative workspaces. No need to be stuck at your desk all day!
- Looking for a new set of wheels? - you’ll enjoy employee discounts on cars, rentals, servicing and more.
- Private healthcare – we offer employees private medical insurance in partnership with AXA.
- Life assurance – our employees are eligible for life assurance.
