Role
Who you are
- Experience: One to two years of graphic design experience, ideally within a marketing or agency environment
- Software skills: Strong demonstrable skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Figma
- Attention to detail: A careful eye and a commitment to producing high-quality, on-brand designs
- Versatility: Comfortable moving between consumer-facing creative, such as social content, posters and on-campus screens, and polished materials for institutional and business audiences, such as decks, one-pagers and partnership collateral
- Adaptability: Able to manage multiple projects at once and respond to changing priorities in a fast-moving environment
- Student insight: A sound understanding of the university student demographic and what resonates with them visually
What the job involves
- Reporting to: Global Head of Marketing, with a dotted line into the Graphic Designer
- Working hours: Standard UK hours, with occasional flexibility to work a later shift such as 11.30am to 7.30pm for US collaboration or campaign needs
- We're looking for a talented and enthusiastic Junior Graphic Designer to join Housr's global creative and marketing team
- You'll play a key role in supporting our global brand marketing across the UK and US. A particular focus will be creating design material for university students and college partnerships in the US market
- Your work will span direct-to-student creative and materials that support our B2B relationships with universities, property partners and brand partners
- Given the US focus, there may occasionally be a need to work later hours, such as 11.30am to 7.30pm, to create more overlap with the US team during busy campaign periods. This will be infrequent and planned in advance
- Executing creative briefs: Produce high-quality graphic assets for print and digital media, following Housr's global brand guidelines
- Designing for online and offline channels: Create engaging designs for formats including digital on-campus screens, posters, flyers, social graphics and banners
- Supporting B2B and partnership materials: Review and polish pitch decks, partnership presentations and sales collateral for university and institutional stakeholders, ensuring a consistent and professional finish
- Producing event and outreach collateral: Create materials for university outreach, education fairs, conferences and partnership events, including booth graphics, printed handouts and digital assets
- Collaborating with the team: Work closely with the global marketing team, Graphic Designer and Product Designer to deliver strong, consistent work
- Using design software: Work primarily in Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, producing all designs to a professional standard
- Motion graphics: Experience is not essential, but would be useful
Application process
- Introductory call with our Talent Partner
- Video call with the Design team
- Practical design task
- Face-to-face interview with our Global Marketing Lead
Our take
Founded by friends who met at university themselves, Housr is a rental app that utilises AI to reduce the hurdles for students looking to land a property. A seamless system for both landlords and renters alike, the streamlined system likens itself to Tinder, operating with the same ergonomic swiping system as the dating app.
It’s a savvy idea, and one that speaks to a whole generation of young people fed up with high prices and unsustainable living situations. The app not only works for renting a property, but for bill management and housemate searches too, reflecting a market trend towards all-in-one mobile applications. The bill management function allows seamless bill sharing between parties, whilst the housemate search uses the same swiping function to ensure a seamless customer journey.
Achieving three funding rounds in two years, Housr is definitely off to a promising start. Its next step will be to capitalise on its 186% year-on-year growth and expand its operations to universities in the USA.
