Job description
Phantom is looking for an exceptional Digital Mid-weight Designer to join our multidisciplinary London-based creative team. As a member of the design team, you'll work alongside talented designers, strategists, and technologists to imagine the unbelievable and turn it into reality.
Who you are
You have a proven track record in creating best-in-class digital experiences and are as comfortable designing from a blank canvas as evolving and to established design direction. You have a keenly developed design aesthetic and a deep love for all things digital. You're excited by emerging technologies and have the drive to continue learning and experimenting.
You are confident in your craft and can give and take direction well. You understand that the presentation of your work is as important as the work itself. Your portfolio demonstrates work that is progressive, diverse and thoughtful. You're precise, detail-oriented and consistently meet deadlines.
You have a positive outlook, a drive to stay inspired, a passion for great work and always help push the work to be the best it can possibly be.
You will:
- Have an eye for detail demonstrated by exceptional craft and an exciting and varied portfolio.
- Have excellent design fundamentals including typography, layout, illustration and motion.
- Be conceptually innovative, detail-oriented and able to execute pixel-perfect digital design.
- Have a proven success working directly with creative and technical teams.
- Have a strong technical knowledge across all digital production and formats.
- Have advanced knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite and tools such as Sketch and Figma.
- Have excellent communication and presentation skills.
- Have a great attitude and lack of ego.
- Experience in 3D and video production is a bonus.
What you'll do
As a designer, your role is crucial in the delivery of projects through each stage. You will ensure the creative brief is fully explored while collaborating with different departments (strategists, creative technologists, developers, designers, producers) to create industry-leading and best-in-class digital experiences.
As a Midweight, Phantom's Seniors and Leads will mentor you and nurture your craft and career develop and will provide continuous feedback and constructive critiques of their work.
You will:
- Execute world-class innovative and effective digital communications, interface design and interaction design experiences.
- Advance and inspire the visual aesthetic of all Phantom projects.
- Design experiences that are creatively and technically ambitious.
- Guide projects from ideation through production design and development.
- Be used to working alongside teams of creatives, developers, producers, and strategists.
- Embody a curious mindset that works to develop multiple ideas and iterate quickly.
- Present your work with confidence and clearly explain your rationale to clients

Our clients choose us because of the collaboration, innovation and creativity we all bring to each project. We choose our clients because they're brands we love to work with, who in turn inspire us to make work we love.
Always careful, never boring, we work on everything from traditional ad campaigns to developing products to designing digital road signs. If you're somebody who enjoys a new challenge each day, Phantom is your place.
Every day we flex our skills for world-leading brands such as Google, Zendesk and Sony Music group as well as working alongside causes we love and get stuck into original proactive projects.

Life at Phantom
Our beautiful Farringdon home is a creative haven offering areas such as a library, event space and several tech-laden meeting rooms to work in. We invest in state of the art equipment as standard and have games consoles, 3D printers, reference books, VR equipment and art supplies for you to use as you please. We also have a mini gym with a treadmill and Peloton bike, plus showers for when you're exercised out.
Our kitchen is kept fully stocked with snacks, beverages and great coffee. Our bar, The Haunt, never runs dry. On Fridays, lunch is on us.
