Thank you for your interest in the position of Graphic Design Manager. Working in the Marketing and Communications team at Kent Students’ Union means being part of a fast-paced, student-focused environment where creativity, clarity, and purpose come together to make a real impact. We’re driven by insight and care deeply about connecting with students in authentic, inclusive, and engaging ways, whether that’s through brand storytelling, meaningful events, or amplifying student voice. We place a strong emphasis on collaboration, attention to detail, and producing work that not only looks good but feels right for the audience. We value fresh ideas, data-informed decisions, and creating experiences that are welcoming, empowering, and memorable. Our team is a place where strategy meets heart, and where every project aims to help students feel seen, heard, and part of something bigger.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Visual Web Designer who can bring brand stories to life through clean, modern, conversion-focused website design.

- Taking full ownership of your design projects from brief to final sign-off.
- Managing multiple website and branding projects simultaneously across clients.
- Collaborating closely with the SEO, branding, and development teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
- Handing off approved designs to developers with clear documentation.

- Occasionally assisting with logo or brand identity work when needed.
- Bringing a customer-focused mindset to every design decision.
- Participating in team brainstorms, creative reviews, and internal improvement efforts.
- Attending industry exhibitions and events as a representative of the creative team.
What We’re Looking For:
- 3–5+ years of web or graphic design experience (agency or freelance).
- A portfolio that showcases website designs.
- Strong skills in Figma and working knowledge of Photoshop.
- Excellent grasp of typography, layout, colour, and visual hierarchy.
- Confidence in client communication, both written and verbal.
- Strong ability to explain and present design ideas professionally.
- Self-management skills and comfort working to deadlines and project schedules.
- Friendly, collaborative personality who brings energy and attention to detail.
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, client-facing environment with multiple stakeholders.
Why You'll Love Working Here:
- Work with the UK’s most respected agency in the dental marketing space.
- Be part of a creative, ambitious, and supportive team.
- Enjoy a hybrid work model with flexibility and structure.
- Access to internal training and attend industry events.
