Senior Creative Designer

At Simmer, we're building the future of healthy, high-flavour, feel-good eating. With tens of thousands of subscribers and a mission to make better food easier for everyone, we're scaling fast, and we're just getting started.

Ranked in the Sunday Times fastest-growing companies, we're on a mission to make better food easier for everyone. To keep up with that growth, we're looking for a Senior Graphic Designer to elevate every visual touchpoint of the brand, from digital to physical, paid to packaging.

We're on the hunt for a sharp, creative, and commercially minded designer who can bring the Simmer brand to life across every format. Bold and on trend, you'll work across website assets, paid ads, social content, physical packaging, and labelling, with high drive, high standards, high impact, and a hunger to win.

You'll be the go-to for all creative graphic design, collaborating closely with the Creative Lead, Growth, and Digital teams to ensure brand consistency while pushing creative boundaries. We're not looking for a pixel pusher, we want someone who can think, create, and execute with impact and clarity, unafraid to do what hasn't been done before.

Team & Collaboration

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, bringing a strong understanding of design systems and workflows, and contributing to the development of scalable creative processes.
• Support the growth of the design function by mentoring junior team members and helping shape a positive, ambitious creative culture as the team expands.

• Strong design instincts with a commercial edge : you understand what looks good and what performs, especially in a DTC or fast-moving brand environment.
• Experience building brand systems : you've worked with or developed brand guidelines, and you know how to evolve and apply them across formats, from digital to physical.
• Experience in fast-paced teams : ideally in DTC, food, wellness, or another consumer brand. You thrive in change, handle ambiguity, and get a buzz from high-impact work.

• A strategic mindset : you get the bigger picture, know how to ask the right questions, and can translate a business goal into clear creative output.
• A high-performance, ownership mindset : you're hungry to win, you take accountability, and you bring the energy every day. You don't wait for permission to make something better.
• Obsessive attention to detail : but you know when speed matters, and can balance quality with pace.
• Fluent across formats : paid ads, packaging, social templates, email assets, website visuals. You're confident designing for multiple channels and understand the nuance of each.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills : you can clearly present your thinking, take feedback well, and work closely with growth, brand and product teams.
• Creativity with edge : you stay ahead of design trends, know what's stale and what's fresh, and you bring original ideas that elevate the Simmer brand.
