Job Description
About the Role
BURN is looking for a Junior Designer with strong design fundamentals, a portfolio that demonstrates genuine creative potential, and the right attitude to thrive in a collaborative, feedback-driven workplace. You do not need to have all the answers yet but you should be curious, diligent, and motivated to develop.
In this role, you will be supported by experienced creatives who are invested in your growth. You will learn by doing: working on live briefs, contributing to campaigns, and developing the commercial and conceptual awareness that will set you apart as a designer over time. This is a genuine development opportunity within a team that takes creative quality seriously.
Duties and Responsibilities
Design Delivery & Production
Design high-quality visual assets across a broad range of formats, including digital, print, internal communications, social content, presentations, and brand collateral.
Adapt and resize creative assets across channels and formats, maintaining brand consistency and visual accuracy throughout.
Support the production and rollout of campaigns, brand materials, and content — from initial file setup through to final delivery.
Source and select imagery, iconography, and visual references that align with the creative direction and brand tone.
Creative Thinking & Brief Response
Translate briefs into considered, on-brand design solutions—initially with guidance from senior team members, and with increasing independence over time.
Apply strong fundamentals in typography, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy to all work, regardless of format or complexity.
Contribute ideas and visual thinking to creative sessions and campaign development, showing curiosity and emerging conceptual instincts.
Develop a growing understanding of how design serves communication goals—not just aesthetics—within a business context.
Craft, Quality & Brand Consistency
Uphold brand guidelines consistently across all outputs, understanding how and why a coherent visual identity matters at scale.
Approach every piece of work with attention to detail, taking pride in the quality of execution at every stage of the process.
Incorporate feedback clearly and efficiently, iterating quickly without losing sight of the original brief or creative intent.
Collaboration & Creative Relationships
Work constructively alongside copywriters, marketers, and other creative team members, contributing positively to a collaborative working environment.
Engage with briefs professionally, asking relevant questions and seeking clarity where needed before beginning design work.
Support presentation design and content preparation, helping to communicate creative work clearly to internal audiences.
Assist in creative productions, image sourcing, and supplier coordination where required, under the direction of a senior creative.
Skills and Experience
Approximately 1-3 years of professional design experience, whether in-house, digital agency, freelance, or via an internship-to-full-time progression.
A portfolio that demonstrates strong design fundamentals — typography, layout, hierarchy, colour — alongside emerging conceptual and brand thinking.
A genuine understanding that design exists to solve communication and business problems, not only to look good.
Receptiveness to feedback and a genuine desire to learn, develop, and be mentored by senior creatives.
High attention to detail and pride in the quality and consistency of your work.
A collaborative, proactive, and adaptable working style, suited to a structured professional environment.
Solid working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma.
Proficient standard in Microsoft PowerPoint for presentation design.
Working knowledge of typography, layout, grid systems, and digital asset creation across web and print formats.
Experience with brand guidelines, AI-assisted design tools, and social content creation.
Internship, placement, or early employment experience in an in-house or digital agency creative team.
Exposure to corporate, consulting, financial services, or enterprise brand environments.
Interest in the strategic side of design: brand positioning, audience thinking, and how visual identity connects to business purpose.
