If so, and you’re a confident communicator, thrive in a busy team environment and have an eagle eye for detail, you could be the person we need to join our expanded Creative team during an exciting period in the University’s development.
Reporting to the Head of Creative and liaising with colleagues across the University, you’ll develop a signage framework approach to ensure consistent and impactful design is applied across all our signage, from interactive maps to environmental graphics.
You’ll need excellent client and customer service skills, working as you will alongside our professional services and academic colleagues, as well as our external roster designers.
