Early-career digital designer

Edinburgh based | Hybrid working | Full time

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland. This is not a remote role.

You MUST have legal right to work in the UK.

We're tda!, a brilliant digital creative agency based in Edinburgh.

We help ambitious brands succeed in the digital age by creating standout brands, beautiful websites, engaging social content, and digital experiences that people actually remember.

No two days are the same here. One morning you could be creating social content for a national campaign, by lunch you're helping shape a new brand identity, and by the afternoon you're designing for a website launch. If you love variety, creativity and learning something new every day, you'll fit right in.

A curious, creative, design-obsessed junior who wants to make brilliant work.

Maybe you've just graduated. Maybe you've already spent a year or two building your skills. Either way, you're hungry to learn, excited by digital, and love the challenge of solving problems through design.

You're just as happy creating a social post as you are exploring a new brand direction or designing a web interface. Most importantly, you bring ideas, ask questions, and never stop learning.

We're looking for a talented and driven junior designer to join our creative team. This is a broad design role covering graphic design, social media, web, brand, and print - but social is where you'll spend most of your time, so a genuine feel for content culture and what performs on platform is essential.

Whether you're a recent graduate or early in your career, you'll get hands-on experience across a range of disciplines from day one. You'll be working on real client projects, moving quickly, and developing your skills across the full design mix.

We work with a large range of clients and no day is the same at tda!, so this is an excellent opportunity to jump head first into the world of design.

• Create visual assets, illustrations, and graphics for web use.

• Produce print-ready artwork for brochures, leaflets, signage, and other collateral as required
