Midweight Graphic Designer

About Wonderbly

Wonderbly creates personalised books and gifts that help people celebrate life’s moments in a more meaningful way. From children’s stories to keepsake gifts, our products combine creativity, storytelling and personalisation to create something genuinely special.

We’re now evolving our creative model to better support the next phase of growth, increasing creative velocity, strengthening video and performance creative capability and building a more effective in house engine across paid, CRM, onsite and brand touchpoints.

The Role

We’re looking for a Midweight Graphic Designer to join our Creative team and help bring Wonderbly’s brand, products and stories to life across our marketing channels.

You’ll work across campaigns, product launches, CRM, paid social, organic social, onsite and print, taking briefs and turning them into creative that feels considered, engaging and unmistakably Wonderbly.

You’ll work closely with the Creative Lead, Creative Strategy, Content Creator, copywriters and channel owners, sometimes as part of a wider team and sometimes taking a project from brief through to delivery yourself. You’ll be involved from the early thinking through to the final detail, contributing ideas, developing concepts, presenting work and responding to feedback along the way.

We’re looking for someone who can balance creativity with practicality. Someone who cares about the craft of the work but also understands that a great idea needs to work in the real world, across different channels, audiences and formats.

You’ll help make sure Wonderbly looks and feels consistent and considered wherever people encounter us, while also bringing fresh ideas and helping evolve how the brand shows up.
