Senior Designer
We’re on the lookout for a talented, experienced senior designer to join the creative team in our Glasgow studio on a full-time basis.

The role
Your primary responsibility is to ensure the coordination and delivery of consistently excellent, ideas-led design projects on your own and with the wider team here at Good. It’s a “hands on” role that’s vitally important to our studio; you need to be comfortable solving problems and delivering creative work in a matter of days - not just weeks - under the direction and leadership of the design directors and/or creative director.
What we’re looking for
- A minimum of 6-8 years of creative experience, leading projects and working as part of a team in a commercial design environment (either as a freelancer or full-time agency staff).
- Strong, ideas-led portfolio that demonstrates the ability to develop and execute design ideas across a variety of formats, with careful attention to detail.
- Ability to communicate ideas clearly and succinctly - through written word as well as imagery.
- Exceptional typography and layout skills.
- Experience of planning photo/video shoots and directing teams to achieve high-quality final outputs.
- Comprehensive knowledge of Adobe Creative software, including InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Additional experience with digital design tools and/or animation software is not essential, but would be advantageous.
- Excellent communication skills that allow you to work seamlessly within a multi-discipline team of designers, planners, account managers and developers.
- High level creative decision making that will allow you to build trust and relationships with our clients.
- UI/UX and animation experience would be preferred, but not essential.
What you’ll need to be
- Driven, ambitious and displaying a serious appetite for solving complex business challenges using creative and strategic thinking.
- Confident, assertive and committed to producing the highest quality work possible for our clients.
- A good team player who can inspire confidence in our clients and our design team.
- Ego-free and open-minded; capable of listening to others and allowing their input to shape your work.
- Punctual, hard working and hungry to listen, learn and develop alongside the rest of our team.
