Design Jobs Board

Do you get slightly geeky talking about design and animation? Can you nail your After Effects timings and leave us wowed? Do you know your Wacom Pen from your Apple Pencil? You could be the next brilliant member of our team.

Interactive Workshops (IW) is a fast-paced, rapidly-growing L&D agency based in Shepherd’s Bush, London, partnering with a global client base that includes Airbus, BBC, Red Bull, Samsung, and Siemens.
