Have you got an incredible creative eye? Are you an ambitious Digital Media Designer looking to join a progressive, fast-paced agency with excellent benefits and a clear career progression? If so, then we have the next stage of your developmental journey.

We’re on the hunt for a talented designer who’s ready to level up and join our team. Working closely with our head of design, you will be afforded the freedom and scope to utilise your creative skills to produce stunning visual work for both our stellar portfolio of clients and our internal agency brand. We are very much looking for someone to stand on their own feet but who will value input and guidance from their peers.

Applicants will need at least two years experience, either working within an agency or client-side, and have demonstrable success in thriving under pressure. Each day at Soap will bring new and unique challenges. Therefore, this varied role is suited to an individual who loves all aspects of design, can balance working across multiple projects at any time, and revels in working on creative projects from concept to completion.

You’ll be joining a team that consistently wins awards and delivers eye-catching work. Our most recent accolade saw us named as the best digital agency in the UK for client satisfaction by leading marketing authority The Drum. This follows four consecutive years of recognition as a leading global agency by Clutch, a hugely respected Trustpilot for business. The successful applicant will be encouraged to enter their own work for further awards, and we’re looking for a designer talented and hungry enough to win them.

We don’t refer to the people we work with as clients; they’re our partners. This philosophy of trust, collaboration, and dedication has been crucial in our success, and we’re looking for a talented designer to help us maintain our position in the elite. So you’ll form part of a tight-knit team and develop strong relationships to help you power forward. The work may be remote at the minute, but there will be extensive opportunities for social interaction, so you’ll be someone who loves communicating and thrives in an open environment.

Working for Soap can be demanding, but it’s also fun and hugely rewarding. It’s pivotal you enjoy this way of working and, in return, we’ll provide you with the environment and support to soar in your role. Our culture is focused on honesty, recognition and commitment to getting the very best both for and from our employees. We regularly promote from within, and this is an opportunity for you to develop your design skills to the fullest of your potential, in a position where you can add real value.
