Graphic Designer

Overview

Talasey Ltd is one of the UK's leading independent suppliers of landscaping solutions. We pride ourselves on providing good quality products and excellent customer service.

We are looking for a creative, organised Graphic Designer to join our team in Manchester. You will take briefs from across the business and turn them into high\-quality print, digital and social content, from first concept through to final artwork.

This is a varied, fast\-paced role. You will juggle several projects at once, work to tight deadlines and liaise with colleagues and external suppliers to get work delivered on time and on brand. It suits someone who is confident working independently, brings fresh ideas, and takes pride in getting the details right.

Key responsibilities

• Design and produce creative assets across print and digital: brochures, leaflets, posters, signage, exhibition stands, presentations, email, web and social media graphics.


• Develop original concepts and ideas in response to briefs, presenting options and refining them through feedback.


• Apply and maintain brand guidelines consistently across all materials, and help evolve them where needed.


• Manage multiple projects at once, from brief to delivery, prioritising workload to meet tight and shifting deadlines.


• Plan and track your own projects: timelines, amends, approvals and sign\-off.


• Work closely with marketing, sales, product and leadership teams to understand requirements and deliver work that meets business goals.


• Liaise with printers, photographers, agencies and other suppliers: obtaining quotes, briefing, checking proofs and managing delivery.


• Prepare print\-ready artwork with correct specifications, bleed, colour profiles and file formats.


• Proofread and quality\-check all work before release, ensuring accuracy and consistency.


• Create short\-form video and motion content for social media and campaigns.


• Keep files, templates and asset libraries organised and up to date.


• Stay current with design, social and industry trends and bring new ideas to the team.
