Permanent Positions
Senior Retail Designer
We are looking for an outstanding senior retail designer to join our team. The role is ideally suited to either an ambitious mid-weight designer looking to take their next leap or a recently established senior designer looking to take on a fresh challenge and continue their growth within a new team.
The successful candidate will be a strong and creative design thinker who can conceptualize and craft appropriate design solutions in response to client challenges. You will be equally comfortable getting your hands dirty in the design delivery stages of the project.
The Role
As the main point of contact with the client you will be a clear and compelling communicator with an ability to understand the clients situation and needs.
Sharing a leading role in projects you will have the ability to handle multiple tasks at once and be comfortable managing meetings and calls with suppliers and clients. You will be comfortable in all three of Quinine’s key disciplines, Research, Strategy and Design with a particular strength in Design. You must have experience in all design phases from concept through to delivery.
You will be able to work at a variety of scales, just as comfortable working on a store-wide aesthetic as you are detailing a store fixture. You will excel in design exploration, problem solving and idea creation. You will be comfortable working through design challenges independently and be confident in presenting back solutions that are thoughtful, robust and considered, to project teams.
A natural collaborator, alongside developing your own point of view, you will embrace other team members opinions (from creative director to junior designer), always striving for the best solution to a problem.
You will be used to creating inspiring concept documents and building up accurate, error free, detailed design drawings. You will be expected to manage and organise all project files and assets.
Skills and Experience
• 5+ years retail design experience in a design agency or in-house design department
• Excellent organisational and interpersonal skills
• Fluent in Vectorworks, Adobe Creative Suite and good working knowledge of Microsoft packages
• Experience in Cinema 4D would be advantageous
Personal Attributes
• Be a positive and inspiring team player
• Able to work successfully as part of a team player
• Motivated and reliable
• Able to build great relationships at all levels across the studio both internal and external
• Outstanding work ethic
• Ability to manage own time and be results driven
• Be a problem solver with a can-do attitude
• Willing to get stuck in with whatever is required
