Description

LAYER, an experience driven design agency, is seeking creative, multi-disciplinary brand designers, with 3+ years experience (after internships) to join our rapidly growing London studio.

LAYER delivers award-winning, experience-driven design for both the physical and digital worlds. Driven by an international and growing creative team, LAYER is partnering with forward-thinking brands – including Bang & Olufsen, Samsung, Google, BMW, and a range of thought-leading startups – to create products that will help define the way we live, work and communicate in the future, from smart devices, VR/AR technology, and furniture systems, to the next generation of media and communication devices.

Our experience-driven approach to projects requires a diverse range of skills. This particular role should possess an unparalleled understanding of branding and their relationship to physical products. You will be part of a highly skilled, driven and social team and play a key role in beautifully combining 2D and 3D worlds.

The successful candidate will have a number of impactful brand identity projects under their belt. You will not only demonstrate a wonderful resolution of craft, but also strong storytelling and narrative behind your design decisions. You understand and are inspired by strategy and the pursuit of the ‘why’, not just great visuals.

You are experienced with the craft of brand marks, typography, colour, layout, and imagery and know how to bring these elements together to embody a brand’s personality and foundations. Excellent use of InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator are required. Experience with After Effects and Premiere Pro would be advantageous.

We offer competitive salary, bonus scheme, a dynamic studio environment, mentorship, studio social events, and have half-days on Fridays so you can maximise your weekends!

Fluency in English is a prerequisite – other languages are beneficial.

This is not a remote role, and will be based full time in the London studio. Please only apply if you live in London or are willing and able to relocate.

Duties and responsibilities:
Experience in both rebranding established brands and developing compelling new brand identities and systems for start-ups.

Strategic thinker and able to work across a number of different sectors and brand types, from FMCG and consumer electronics, to furniture, homewares, and transport.

Excellent use of InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.

Experience with After Effects and Premiere Pro would be advantageous.

Efficient with time and prepared to join an extremely fast-paced environment.

Willing to contribute to a culture of collaboration, share skills across teams and work well as part of a diverse team.

Ability to own projects and nurture client relationships, including leading internal and external presentations.

Creative leader, always on the pulse of what is happening. You will enjoy sharing inspiring and thoughtful references to inspire the team.

What we can offer you:
A competitive salary.

An annual bonus (based on individual and studio performance).

A creative and social studio environment with regular studio social events and in-studio talks from industry leaders.

Flexible half days on Fridays so you can maximise your weekends.

The opportunity to work on ground-breaking projects with some of the world’s most recognised brands, from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups.

Exciting travel opportunities for client meetings, presentations, and research.

Mentorship and meaningful career progression within the studio.
