Full job description

Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR) is a branding business, founded in 1990 and proudly independent ever since.

We started out in the world of packaging, but now we’re worldwide; from three founders, to more than 320 of us across the UK and USA. Together, we build and deliver brands across the entire consumer experience.

But even more important than what we do, is why we do it. We’re here to inspire brands and people to be their true selves. To be brave. Be tenacious. And above all, be yourself. Because we believe that’s the only way to truly be distinctive, everywhere.

We are seeking a Senior Designer on a 10mth fixed term contract (FTC) August 2026 who share a passion for FMCG/ CPG / packaging and brand design. At JKR, our Senior Designers work hand in hand with the Client Services team while providing valuable support to the Design Directors. In this role, you’ll have the chance to inspire our Design teams, mentoring and sharing your expertise with junior members to help them unlock their full potential.

Your creative flair will shine through as you demonstrate an understanding of an Ideas First approach, crafting eye-catching design that make a brand stand out and grab attention.

Responsibilities

  • Working on iconic brands
  • Create holistic concepts and solutions that build on a Brand’s charisma and offer a unique point of difference across all aspects and touchpoints
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of how to connect strategy to creative work
  • Quickly edit concepts to focus in on the best ideas
  • Collaborate with and use internal expertise and experience, as well as client’s knowledge to get to better creative solutions
  • Display integrity, honesty, reliability, responsiveness and openness to be trusted by clients and internal teams
  • Behave as the clients’ creative partner to build trust and ultimately long-term relationships
  • Act a brand ambassador, challenging and interpreting feedback where necessary to build the brand
  • Demonstrate design knowledge, expertise and relevant provocation to clients in line with the brand
  • Proactively look for opportunities that might build long term opportunities with a client
  • Deliver strong pitches, client presentations and influences results
  • Communicate at all levels with confidence and clarity, adapting communication style to audience and situation, whilst always delivering a consistent message
  • Openly encourage collaborative ways of working and cross department communication and engagement

At JKR, our goal is to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace that reflects and creates for the societies we live in. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a long-term business imperative and a commitment at JKR, not an initiative that sits under one department. You will demonstrate being a DE+I advocate and champion with your actions and participation.

  • Adept at creating holistic packaging and brand concepts and design solutions
  • Exampes of working on Iconic FMCG brands
  • Experience working on multiple creative projects, editing concepts to focus on the best ideas
  • A desire to create world class work, through quality of concept and craft
  • At least 5 years packaging design experience
  • Excellent knowledge of relevant software (Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma)
  • A passion for storytelling
  • Ability to blend creative and technical skills
  • An enthusiasm for design, identity, and brand experience

JKR is committed to providing a comprehensive, competitive benefits programme to its employees, including:

  • 💰 Competitive salary
  • 📍 Lively Shoreditch studio location
  • 🏡 Hybrid working policy, minimum 2 days pw in the studio
  • 🩺 Bupa Healthcare, including dental option

If you remember only one thing about JKR, it's Be Distinctive Everywhere. Since 1990, we’ve helped brands be who they are, only more so. Because as it turns out: being yourself is a superpower. From strategies that reclaim crowns, raise curtains, and innovate the internet; to iconic identities with more swagger, more flame grilled deliciousness, more going-and-getting; and experiences that are worth more, spark your imagination, and deliver a recipe for magic… It’s all done with people who are supremely talented. But more importantly, done with people you want to hang with. If that’s the kind of brand you want to own. Or the type of work you want to make. We’re your people.
