Company Description

We're a team of makers and dreamers, turning strategic ideas into flawless retail executions. We collaborate closely with our clients to elevate the expected and embrace the new, the next, and the complex.

Nothing is impossible— If you can shop it, we can do it.

Overview

At SaatchiX , Visual Designers create simple, bold, unmistakably on‑brand work across integrated omnichannel campaigns. We believe strong ideas deserve strong craft—and that great design happens when curious, opinionated people collaborate across disciplines to make work that actually connects.

Designers here are makers first. This Junior Visual Designer role is for someone early in their career who cares deeply about design fundamentals—especially typography, layout, and composition—and wants to grow their craft inside a collaborative creative agency.

You’ll support work for a large, highly regulated financial institution, learning how to bring clarity, polish, and precision to complex brand systems—while being surrounded by creatives who genuinely love the details.

Responsibilities

  • Design visual assets across retail, digital, print, and presentation formats with guidance
  • Support layout builds, adaptations, and revisions of approved creative
  • Apply brand typography systems consistently and accurately
  • Sweat the details: kerning, leading, spacing, hierarchy, alignment
  • Assist with mood boards, visual explorations, and layout development
  • Prepare clean, organized, production‑ready files
  • Participate in brainstorms, critiques, and creative reviews
  • Take feedback well and use it to make the work better

Qualifications

  • ~1 year of visual design experience (internships, entry‑level roles, or portfolio school)
  • A portfolio showing strong fundamentals in typography, layout, and composition
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Microsoft PPT
  • Foundational understanding of print and digital design
  • Sharp attention to detail and strong organizational habits
  • Curiosity, humility, and a desire to keep getting better
