About the Role
We are seeking a skilled Senior Designer to join our growing team. This role is perfect for someone who thrives on variety, moving seamlessly across touchpoints—from digital and motion to in-store, print, and experiential. You’ll collaborate with strategists, researchers, and creatives to uncover opportunities, solve design challenges, and push creative boundaries.
As a Senior Designer, you will bring a sharp creative eye, an ability to translate strategy into engaging design, and the confidence to present and defend your work to both clients and internal stakeholders. You’ll also play a key role in mentoring junior talent, helping to elevate the overall creative output of the team.
What You’ll Do
- Partner with strategists, creatives, and client teams to deliver integrated design solutions that feel cohesive and purposeful.
- Design across a range of platforms and channels—digital, motion, print, retail, and experiential—ensuring each execution aligns with brand identity and strategy.
- Generate fresh, original ideas that bring energy and impact to customer experiences.
- Present design concepts and rationale with clarity and confidence to clients and colleagues alike.
- Keep pace with cultural trends, design innovations, and new technologies, using them to inspire and evolve your work.
- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior designers, supporting their growth and helping raise creative standards across the team.
What You'll Need
- 5+ years of experience in a creative agency, in-house studio, or customer experience–driven environment.
- A portfolio that demonstrates exceptional craft in visual design, with strong work in branding, digital, and motion. (UI/UX skills are a bonus.)
- Ability to deliver work that combines strong conceptual thinking with commercial impact.
- Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and other standard design tools.
- Experience designing for multiple touchpoints, from digital products and campaigns to experiential and print (artworking ability is helpful but not essential).
- Confidence in presenting work, articulating design rationale, and taking ownership of projects from start to finish.
Our ambition is to attract the very best diverse talent to Ogilvy, and to be the employer of choice in the UK. We want everyone to feel welcome when they join us, and once they’re here, for them to want to stay with us, grow their career, and to feel they belong with us.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone who wants to work at Ogilvy. For us, diversity, equity and inclusion is integrated into everything that we do. We believe that for creativity to flourish, everything about how we work must have diversity at its core. Your race, colour, ethnic, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, have no bearing on our hiring decisions, but we encourage everyone to feel free to express their true selves in an environment we are consistently striving to make as inclusive as possible.
We aim to facilitate an accessible and positive application experience for all candidates. If you require any adjustments from us to support you through the process or expect to require any adjustments to working conditions to be able to best perform in the role, please let us know. We are happy to consider all reasonable adjustments.
