Pentagram Design London is seeking a talented Lead Digital Designer to join Luke Powell and Jody Hudson-Powell’s creative team for a range of exciting branding projects with a strong digital focus.

Our team’s focus is branding, but we believe a company’s digital presence – whether online or in apps – should never be an afterthought. Every project we take on includes designing some or all aspects of a client’s digital experience, regardless of their industry or size. Whether it’s a new cultural landmark in Asia, a legacy broadcaster shaping public discourse, a tech giant on the brink of going public, or a trailblazing AI startup aiming to redefine its field, we ensure their digital narrative is as compelling as their brand. We are seeking an experience digital designer who is skilled in both UX and UI, eager to work with cutting-edge companies, and capable of leading the digital design efforts within our team.

You are positive, optimistic, and adaptable, thriving in a fast-paced environment
