Job description

We are on the lookout for a passionate and enthusiastic Web/Graphic Designer responsible for all creative work required for websites, advertising, email marketing and any other form of online media.

In addition we are looking for an individual who has experience in designing for print, or a person who is wishing to expand their skills in this direction; brochure design, stationery, business cards, brand identity etc. Graphic design is currently absent from Goblin Ridge Limited’s services, something we need you to correct! You have pretty much free rein to build this side of the business up from scratch and create your own role in this area; we will support you all the way and reward you accordingly.

Initially your primary responsibilities will be web design consisting of:

Design of websites, micro sites, mock ups, emails and banners

Followed by graphic design as you build this side of the business up:

Brand identity, logo design, brochures, stationery, catalogues and other forms of printed literature

As the graphic design begins to flourish, you may want to spend more time in this field, or permanently, or mix and match with web design, the choice is yours! Ultimately you could head your own team of Web and Graphic Designers. The design world is your oyster!

Your experience

The successful candidate will be a creative perfectionist, passionate about all things design online and offline. You will possess excellent skills in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash. You will have at least basic HTML and CSS skills, knowledge of ActionScript would be a bonus, but don’t worry we’re not looking for a coding guru! A thorough understanding of usability and accessibility issues with regards to web design is required.

As the Web/Graphic Designer you will be talented, have lots of creativity and an impressive portfolio of work, both online and offline, consisting of original, eye-catching, cutting edge designs.

In addition to your passion and aptitude for design, you should be highly innovative, have first class attention to detail, excellent interpersonal skills, and be able to prioritise workload and meet deadlines.

To be considered for this position you must have at least one year’s commercial experience or exceptionally WOW us with your portfolio! You will also need a degree (or equivalent) in graphic, web design, interactive multimedia design, or another related subject.

A driving licence would be helpful but is not essential.

This role is very organic in its nature; whatever you make of it, is up to you!
