Are you an aspiring junior designer, full of ideas and enthusiasm? Looking to develop your skills, gain experience, and find your feet in a creative agency? If so, this could be the role for you!

We're offering a salary of PS24,000 - PS28,000, depending on experience, skillset, and quality of work. Ideally, you'll have 1-2 years of experience working in a similar agency or creative environment.

The Role

You'll work closely with our Creative Lead and Creative Director, taking direction while contributing to the creative direction of projects and supporting senior team members.

Working with website developers to bring design concepts to life
Contributing to creative campaigns across a variety of sectors, from entrepreneurial recruitment firms to government, sport, and learning platforms
Supporting project management alongside the Account Manager

This is a hybrid role: three days in the studio, two days working from home (Wednesday and Friday after probation).

To Succeed in This Role

You should be:

Self-motivated, able to take early-stage briefs and develop them into visually compelling work
Skilled in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma; experience with Canva is a plus

Comfortable liaising with the Account Manager on project management

Has a portfolio that excites, showcasing passion and creativity
Is friendly, communicative, and a team player
Ideally has 1-2 years of agency experience
Has an excellent eye for detail
Stays positive and resilient, even under challenging client demands
Has a thirst for learning and an open-minded approach to personal development
Communicates clearly and effectively

What We Offer

Over the last 16 years, 1721 Studio has grown from a freelancer operation to a well-known agency through referrals and client satisfaction. Working here, you'll gain exposure to ambitious scale-ups and well-recognised brands.

We encourage trying new things and working on projects outside your comfort zone, so you can develop your skills across a variety of disciplines.

Benefits include:

23 days holiday + Christmas and bank holidays
Your birthday off
Hybrid working (3 days in studio, 2 days at home after probation)
Pension contribution
Free parking
Regular 1-2-1s focused on your development
