About the role
We`re looking to recruit an experienced Digital Designer to join an ambitious and talented creative team that wants to push its output to the next level. You'll be helping to create fan-centric campaigns and media content capturing the imagination of LFC users and stakeholders around the world.
Your strengths and expertise
- First and foremost, you’ll possess an excellent design portfolio showcasing talent and creative skills across all areas of digital and graphic design – emails, online banners, social, gif animation and other relevant digital or display media.
- You will own the skill-set and knowledge to collaborate on briefs, creating and building striking digital campaigns and associated asset-sets.
- You’ll be working across all main digital channels and platforms – mobile, online, social, etc.
- You’ll be proficient in the design and execution of effective and results-driven email campaigns.
- As a designer, you’re equally conversant with the front-end coding skills needed for seamless HTML build, testing and mail-out across multiple browser/mobile configurations.
- Coding emails for HTML5, CSS and responsive web (for pre-built databases) are all part of your skill-set. So too is the necessary trouble-shooting nous and bug-fixing ability necessary for email platforms, eg, Outlook, iOS Mail, Gmail, webmail etc.
- Experience of adapting campaign creative through the deployment of automated martech tools for acquisition programmes, user journeys, personalisation etc, would be desirable.
- You’re well-versed at creating evergreen and attention-grabbing assets running across Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for both organic content and paid media.
- Your portfolio will also demonstrate experience across the offline landscape, most notably advertising, graphics, brand ID and spatial/venue theming.
- Attention to detail is key. Your creative talents will be complemented by a disciplined approach to QA and coding accuracy, even when working to tight deadlines and handling multiple tasks.
- You’ll be working in a collaborative environment, sharing knowledge with your peers in the best interests of the final creative product.
