You'll develop and deliver creative across every touchpoint, from campaigns, digital and social to retail, packaging and wholesale, balancing strong creative thinking with quality execution at pace. You'll also line manage our Junior Creative and work closely with teams across the business to turn ideas and briefs into distinctive, commercially effective creative.

Your Skills & Character
Strong creative concepting skills and an excellent eye for photography, art direction and visual storytelling
Excellent typography, composition and layout skills
Expert knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
Strong digital design experience across website, email, paid social and digital campaigns
Strong print and production knowledge, including artwork preparation, large-format print and working with printers and suppliers
Experience creating or editing short-form video, GIFs and simple animation
Confidence presenting creative ideas to senior stakeholders and founders
Excellent organisation and prioritisation skills
Strong attention to detail and high personal standards
A collaborative, proactive working style
The ability to give clear, constructive creative feedback and mentor a Junior Creative
Able to work at pace, balancing multiple briefs and quick turnarounds without compromising creative quality or attention to detail
Curiosity about AI and emerging creative tools, using them intelligently to improve pace and process without losing originality or craft
Your Main Responsibilities
Creating
Developing creative concepts and translating them into strong, distinctive work across brand and seasonal campaigns, website and email, organic and paid social, retail POS and windows, packaging, catalogues, look-books and wholesale materials, alongside GIFs, animation and short-form video.
You'll take projects from initial idea through to finished execution, ensuring the work is creatively strong, commercially relevant and delivered to a high standard.
Shaping the brand
Working closely with the Head of Marketing to develop and evolve OSPREY LONDON's visual identity, ensuring the brand feels consistent, premium and relevant across every customer touchpoint.
You'll contribute ideas across campaigns, content, retail and seasonal storytelling, while staying close to fashion, retail, design and competitor activity and bringing fresh creative thinking back into the business.
Leading the studio
You'll own the day-to-day running of the design studio, managing incoming briefs, balancing priorities and ensuring work moves through the studio at the right pace.
You'll line manage and mentor our Junior Designer, briefing work clearly, reviewing their output and helping them develop their creative confidence and technical skills.
This is still very much a hands-on design role: you'll lead by doing.
Bringing ideas to life
You'll work directly with stakeholders across Marketing, Ecommerce, Buying, Wholesale and Retail, turning briefs and sometimes half-formed ideas into thoughtful, practical creative solutions.
You'll confidently present concepts and explain the thinking behind them, while remaining collaborative and open to feedback.
You'll also work with photographers, printers, packaging manufacturers and other creative suppliers, ensuring final output meets our standards for quality, brand and cost.
Maintaining the detail
You'll help maintain excellent studio standards across artwork, retouching, print production, photography sign-off, asset management, filing and brand consistency.
