Senior/Lead Designer
We’re looking for a Senior or Lead Designer to join our award-winning team.
Working as a crucial part of our Design team you’ll be focusing on projects that make a real difference to our clients. We push boundaries to create brands, websites and marketing materials that are truly impressive whilst also delivering results.
This is a full-time position with a mixture of in-studio and working-from-home. Salary is always dependant on experience, however, we’re looking around £30k – £40k pa.
Our Lincoln studio is commutable from Nottingham, Leicester, Doncaster, south-east of Sheffield and Hull.
About this role
You’ll either be a Senior Designer looking to grow into a Lead position with responsibility for the output of your team, or a Lead looking to join a growing agency and be a key part of that growth. Either way this is a great opportunity for the right person to make a real impact on the way we work and the quality we output.

Collaboration is a big part of who we are. You’ll be an important part of the studio and be able to make a real impact, including inputting into the development of the way we work.
Our bigger projects are always strategy-first, so we don’t just dive in and create something pretty. We are insights-focused, which means our projects, particularly for brand and web, go through a rigorous planning stage before we create. This means you’ll be creating work that’s beautiful, and that actually performs.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll be highly creative, technically competent and have excellent attention-to-detail.
You’ll have experience in crafting brands, print materials (from leaflets to large-scale exhibition stands) and designing user-experience focused website designs that push the boundaries of design (we don’t use frameworks here at Epix, everything is bespoke).
You’ll have
- Expert knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, including InDesign, Illustrator and XD
- The ability to apply your creativity to solve client challenges and appeal to their target audience
- A solid understanding of User-Experience design principals
- A knowledge of accessible design
- Be a strong team player with great communication skills allowing you to work closely with others and nurture and support your team
We’re looking for a Senior or Lead Designer with:
- A portfolio of strong brand, design and website projects
- 5+ years in an agency working as part of a team of designers
- The ability to adapt your skills and decision making to meet deadlines
- A dedication to your craft and an excitement to work with a growing team
