Senior Designer - 12 month contract

As a Senior Designer, you’ll help shape the visual language across Tahaluf’s portfolio of brands, campaigns, social content, films, presentations, digital experiences, and event identities.

You should be as comfortable designing a high-end visual identity system as you are animating a dynamic social asset or building motion-led campaign content. We’re looking for someone with strong taste, strong craft, and a curiosity for where creative technology is heading.

An understanding of emerging AI-powered creative workflows is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality creative across branding, campaigns, social, digital, and event content

• Translate strategic ideas into visually compelling creative
• Help evolve and maintain visual systems across multiple brands and touchpoints
• Work closely with creative directors, strategists, editors, and wider marketing teams
• Design for modern platforms and audiences with a strong understanding of social-first content
• Bring ideas to life through motion, animation, transitions, and visual storytelling
• Explore and integrate new creative tools, workflows, and technologies where relevant
• Maintain consistency, detail, and craft across fast-moving projects and timelines

• 5+ years experience in a design or multidisciplinary creative role
• Strong portfolio showcasing both design and motion work
• Excellent understanding of typography, composition, layout, colour, and visual storytelling
• High proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, particularly:
  • After Effects
  • Photoshop
  • Illustrator
  • Indesign
  • Premiere Pro
  • Powerpoint - Google slides
• Experience designing for digital, social, brand, and experiential environments
• Strong understanding of motion design principles and animation pacing
• Ability to work independently and remotely while managing deadlines effectively
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• A modern visual aesthetic with awareness of contemporary design and culture

Nice to Have

• Experience with Cinema 4D, Blender, or other 3D tools
• Understanding of AI-assisted creative workflows and tools such as Midjourney, Nanobanna and Higgsfield
• Experience within events, entertainment, technology, or brand experience sectors
• Basic editing, sound, or storytelling capabilities
• Experience creating content for large-scale screens, stages, or immersive environments

What We’re Looking For

• Someone proactive, collaborative, and creatively ambitious
• A designer who understands both aesthetics and ideas
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to move quickly
• Someone excited by the future of creativity, technology, and culture
• A self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys building work that reaches global audiences
