Creative Designer

We are on the hunt for a part-time in-house Creative Designer to join our Marketing Team at our HQ in central Bristol. This is a newly created, exciting role due to continued growth of our retail business.

This is a part-time role working two days a week from our central Bristol office.

The role

We are investing to get our brand in front of more consumers, and with this we are looking to recruit our first ever in-house creative / graphic designer. Initially, this will be working two days per week, with both days being worked from our office on Bristols Wapping Wharf.

This is a stand alone design role, reporting in to the Head of Marketing, and working alongside our marketing team (consisting of a Brand Manager and Digital Marketing Manager)

We have recently undertaken a brand redesign, and so this role will be responsible for exploring how we take this new design across all of our touchpoints, working with the new brand guidelines. As we look to invest more in ATL communication, there will also be an increasing requirement for grand scale design thinking!

You will be responsible for the design and production of all consumer touch points from grand scale ATL advertising, to in store POS, events signage, packcepts, social media, website, and sales materials (presentations, send outs).

Who are we?

Once upon a time, there were three brothers… A rugby player, a ship-broker and a cabinet-maker. After a heated debate about the perfect pork sausages, the brothers decided to settle the argument by creating their own porky delights.

Fast forward to 2023, we now have a range of Higher welfare, Great taste award winning pork products in Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Waitrose, Ocado, Coop and Gousto, along with a restaurant called Pigsty on Bristol’s Wapping Wharf. We also run mobile catering at events up and down the country including Winter Wonderland, Goodwood, and Glastonbury, just to name a few.

What are we looking for?

• Versatility in design, across traditional and digital, with an ability to design across multiple formats and for diverse channels.
• Proficient in the Adobe Creative suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign) or alternative
• Experience in basic animation, using Adobe Premier Pro.
• The role would be responsible for the design, not the copywriting or creative concept. However, we are a small team, so creativity and a flair for all things advertising would be a bonus.
• Team player – everyone at Hog HQ gets stuck in to grow the brand, whether that be on product testing or a helping hand at events.
• Confidence to work as the only creative, in a team of clients.

Important things to note!

• We are not about being second best. We want someone with that same passion for and commitment to excellence.
• We are a small, family run business. We don’t do politics!
• This is a rare opportunity to join a rapidly expanding business, with big plans for the future. The person in this role will be fundamental to our growth plans.
• You must be a self-starter. You will have the support of a fantastic HQ team, but as we are such a small team you will need to be comfortable working independently from the get-go.
