• Prepare assets for the channels they live in - HubSpot email LinkedIn and social presentation tools and print where needed.

• Work closely with the Senior Brand Designer to agree priorities and split the template workload across RAISE and MACHINA.

• Feed back on the system as you apply it - spotting gaps edge cases and missing components - and help keep the Figma library organised and documented.

• Keep every output consistent with the brand guidelines for typography colour layout and imagery.

• Use AI tools across the design workflow - concepting image generation and editing resizing and production - to move faster without compromising craft.

• Where you have the experience help connect templates to the teams AI and code-based tooling (e.g. Claude Code design tokens automated asset generation) so standard materials can be produced with little or no design intervention.

• Manage a steady pipeline of template and asset requests from the marketing team prioritising against campaign deadlines.

• Hand over a clean documented template library at the end of the engagement ready for the team to use through the 2027 editions.

• Senior-level experience as a brand digital or communication designer in-house or agency with a strong portfolio of brand system and template work (indicative: 5 years).

• Expert Figma skills: components variants auto layout variables and well-structured shared libraries.

• Proven experience rolling out a brand identity across a wide range of formats - decks reports email social and event materials.

• Strong typographic layout and editorial sense with an eye for premium understated brand work.

• Comfortable using AI tools as part of a professional design workflow.

• Experience building or maintaining design systems - tokens component libraries and documentation.

• Hands-on experience with Claude Code or similar AI-assisted build tools for example turning Figma templates into code-based or automated outputs.

• Ambitious about quality - you want the template suite to be something the whole team is proud to use.

• Fast and organised able to handle a high volume of formats without losing consistency.

• Easy-going and collaborative and comfortable sharing and splitting work with another senior designer.

• Self-directed and reliable working remotely with clear proactive communication.
