Got what it takes to join our crew? 

Ahoy there! We’re a high calibre creative agency seeking a new digital design buccaneer to join the Good Ship Alive.…

Our established team of designers has mastered a bountiful skill set from creative comms campaigns and exceptional employee engagement to inspiring ideas that lead to brilliant digital delivery. Our growing list of top-drawer clients includes the likes of B&Q, NATS, PPL, Great Western Railway, KP Snacks, National Grid, Gatwick Airport, DS Smith, Sainsbury’s and Kelloggs.

We’re on the lookout for an experienced Middleweight Designer that can help to steer us across the seas to success. We love to explore unknown territory, bounce off each other’s energy and create magnificent work that makes a massive splash.

Crucially, you must be digitally-minded with a passion for shipshape website and app design… savvy?

We’re after a smart talent with excellent communication skills and an ability to sail close to the danger-zone creatively and technically. You’ll sweat on the details and have honed your skills to be a captain of the Adobe suite, WordPress and other web based technologies, understanding and incorporating emerging trends in digital marketing and communications.

  • Able to hit the ground running
  • Must have a thorough understanding of the Adobe suite, WordPress and other web based technologies
  • Willing to take the time to get under the skin of our clients and interpret briefs
  • You will have one or more supporting skills that will enhance our existing team; like animation, technical web development and app development

The Alive DNA

  • Creativity galore, me hearties!
  • Bursting with top ideas that make the mundane marvellous
  • Passionate about all things digital
  • An eye for exceptional design
  • Outstanding attention to detail
  • Playfulness aplenty
