Senior Graphic Designer Manchester, England
Job description
Recognised for the 2nd year running as a World Class Business to Work for by Best Companies in 2022, this year we aim to be even better. Street Group is one of the fastest-growing PropTech companies in the UK. Our mission is to radically improve the property industry for everyone.
People moving home regularly cite a lack of transparency and a painfully slow process, and that’s often due to the technology in Estate Agent’s hands.
For the past seven years, we’ve been working hard to change that.
To help us on our mission, we have a brand new role at Street Group; we are looking for a dedicated and hard-working Senior Graphic Designer. Joining our dynamic and ambitious Marketing team, helping to convey Street Group’s brand, working in the space between the product and sales teams, to communicate with current customers and prospects.
We're on a mission to put joy back into moving. Building on the success of our flagship product Spectre, a game-changer for estate agency marketing, we’ve continued to focus on building incredible technology to revolutionise the property industry.
Over the past three years, we've been working on Street.co.uk- our groundbreaking product that puts transparency, user experience and beautiful design at the heart of our industry. We’ve got big plans and as a Senior Graphic Designer you will play a key part in ensuring clients continue to love our software!
If you love autonomy, are naturally curious, and want to have a genuine impact within a growing company, we think you’d fit right in!
