- Liaising with Editorial and Production teams
- Creating and collaborating in a team environment

The role requires a confident and quick approach to graphic design and animation in order to meet tight deadlines. The team itself is learning-focused and work with each other to develop templates and animation styles that make our work easier and more efficient.

We are always looking for potential!
