| Ref: | MON12617 |
| Salary: | Competitive |
| Department: | Design |
| Location: | W11 4AN |
| Position type: | Permanent |
| Hours / Duration: | 40 |
Monsoon is a brand with a genuine creative story — artisan embroidery, hand-printed fabrics, considered occasion dressing — and we are building the creative team to tell it properly across every touchpoint.
As Senior Designer you will sit at the heart of that effort, working across digital, campaign, and in-store creative to produce work that is consistently excellent, unmistakably Monsoon, and commercially grounded. This is a hands-on role with real creative influence — not execution in a vacuum, but design that shapes how the brand is seen and felt by our customer.
You will work closely with and report directly to the Creative Lead, as a key senior voice in a team where craft is taken seriously, brand consistency is a genuine priority, and there is real ambition to move the creative forward.
A bit more about you and the role
You have a strong point of view about what makes fashion creative excellent — and you can articulate it clearly to people who are not designers
Your portfolio demonstrates 360 campaign experience from concept to execution across digital and print platforms — showing range across campaign, motion, e-commerce, and editorial
You have worked in a fast retail environment and know how to produce great work without perfect conditions
You understand the difference between brand-led creative and trade-led creative — and know how to make the latter feel like the former
You can hold the creative standard on a shoot when the Creative Lead is not in the room
You care about consistency — a misaligned font or an off-brand image in a grid bothers you enough to fix it!
What will do you do as an Senior Designer?
Lead the design and art direction of seasonal campaign creative across digital, email, in-store, and social — from concept through to final delivery
Own the visual consistency of the Monsoon website — homepage, PLP, PDP, and editorial pages — briefing and designing with the UX and trade teams
Produce motion content and short-form video edits for digital and social channels using Premiere Pro — reels, campaign edits, and product stories
Art direct and attend key campaign and e-commerce shoots — briefing photographers, directing models, and maintaining the Monsoon visual language on set
Develop and maintain the Monsoon e-commerce style guide — photography standards, typography, colour, and copy tone — ensuring consistency across all creative output
Support the Creative Lead in developing seasonal campaign territories — contributing ideas, references, and creative rationale at brief stage
Mentor and support junior members of the creative team — reviewing work, sharing knowledge, and elevating the output of the whole team
Collaborate with trading, buying, and marketing teams to produce commercially effective creative that does not compromise brand integrity
Manage multiple projects simultaneously — delivering consistently to deadline in a fast-moving retail environment
