Design Jobs Board

Output is a brand and digital design agency for ambitious people with a mission. We’re looking for a Senior Brand & Digital Strategist to join us in London, creating characterful brands and experiences for brave clients.

You’ll be a central member of our multidisciplinary team, defining the strategic output of the studio through a toolkit of methods to apply to design projects. You’ll lead the ‘discover’ phase of all projects, to uncover insights and define the challenges we need to solve, then create a brand or digital experience strategy that propels and guides the design team.

You thrive on creating brands with substance, communicating your thinking through clear language to inspire designers, clients stakeholders and their audiences. Show us the range of your work, from planning workshops people enjoy, to strategic outputs, design outcomes and compelling written case studies.

With freedom to make your mark, you’ll bring a new energy and fresh thinking to our working process and a new voice to our thought leadership. We offer you a blend of flexible working, from home and our east London studio, a competitive benefits package, thriving creative culture and projects that make a positive impact.

If you’re an ambitious thinker who’s keen to make your mark in a design-led environment, we’d love to hear from you. Send a covering letter along with three project examples that show off your strengths to johanna@studio-output.com by 6pm on Tuesday 15th March.
