Brink is looking for an in-house Graphic Designer for maternity cover to keep our design outputs moving at pace. You will provide design support across all Brink programmes, turning ideas into clear, visual outputs that demand action, with a key value being accessibility.
What You'll Do
- Produce high-quality design assets across a wide range of project needs (graphics, data visualisations, publications, print materials, presentations, and social media assets).
- Create brand guidelines for new programmes and projects, and work within existing brand guidelines to produce consistent designs and content.
- Take work from concept through to production-ready delivery, with strong attention to typography, layout, and detail.
- Contribute to the development of Brink’s own tools, IP and digital products, working alongside strategists and developers to shape how ideas become tangible, real-world outputs.
- Design for web (page layouts, components, icons/illustrations as relevant).
- Apply and uphold Brink’s brand and tone across outputs.
- Build and maintain template libraries (e.g., slide decks, report layouts, one-pagers, simple design systems) to support Brink teams.
- Partner with non-designers to clarify objectives, propose design approaches, and iterate quickly.
- Manage multiple requests at once, prioritising effectively in a fast-paced environment.
- Liaise with external suppliers/freelancers when required (e.g., print, illustration, specialist production), ensuring clean handover and quality control.
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years’ experience as a graphic designer in a fast-paced environment (in-house, studio, or agency).
- Excellent typography, composition, and information design skills (making complex content feel clear and easy to read).
- Confident working from messy briefs and turning them into effective outputs.
- Strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop).
- Calm, organised delivery under time pressure.
- Accessibility awareness (contrast, legibility, hierarchy; designing for diverse audiences).
Nice to Have
- Undergraduate degree in Graphic Design (or a related subject) or equivalent professional experience.
- Familiarity with Firefly or similar AI tools.
- Web design experience (familiarity with Webflow a plus).
- Comfortable with evolving design environments and eager to experiment with AI tools and workflows.
- Comfortable collaborating directly with developers in live environments (e.g. GitHub) to bring work to life outside of Adobe.
- Presentation design confidence (Google Slides) and template-building experience.
Technical Stack
- Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop)
- Firefly or similar AI tools
- Webflow
- GitHub
- Google Slides
Team & Environment
You will be part of a collaborative team, working closely with colleagues who aren't designers.
Benefits & Compensation
- Compensation: £21k - £33k for 3 days per week.
Work Mode
This role operates on a global basis and is open to candidates based in the UK, Rwanda, or Kenya.
Brink believes making complex information understandable puts power in people’s hands, especially for neurodiverse audiences, and when working across languages and geographies. Thoughtful, accessible design is central to our mission and the impact our work can have.
