What You’ll Be Doing
As a Graphic Design Trainee, you'll join our E-Commerce and Marketing Content team, helping shape how our products and campaigns come to life across digital channels.
This is an opportunity for an emerging designer who wants to move beyond the classroom and build hands-on experience creating digital-first, customer-focused content. You'll have room to experiment with ideas, explore social trends and develop your creative style while learning how graphic design supports a fast-moving e-commerce business.
Your responsibilities will include:
Create engaging digital and social media assets to support e-commerce and marketing activities.

Translate marketing requirements and business needs into clear and engaging visual communication.
Explore social media and graphic design trends and bring fresh creative ideas to the team.
Support the development of shoot briefs and creative direction.
Select relevant products from our online assortment to feature across creative content.
Think from the customer's perspective when developing assets, considering whether the message is clear, relevant and engaging.
Experiment with Generative AI and AI-assisted creative tools to explore new ways of producing content.
Develop alternative creative solutions when traditional shoots aren't required or feasible.
Work collaboratively with E-Commerce, Marketing, Content and other teams to bring ideas to life.
You'll be encouraged to bring your own creative perspective. This isn't a role focused on illustration or sketching. it's about developing strong digital visual communication that connects with customers online.
