Graphic Designer

Overview

We’re recruiting a Graphic Designer to help drive our new brand identity and bring exciting campaigns to life.

At Walker Morris, our brand gives you the freedom to push boundaries. We’re a firm that refuses to follow the expected path, and our creative team plays a central role in redefining what communications from a law firm can — and should — look like. With the business growing at pace, we are expanding the Marketing & Business Development team, and we’re excited to introduce an opportunity for a Graphic Designer to join us.

This is your chance to work within a small, talented Design team where your ideas won’t just be heard, they’ll help shape the future of the Walker Morris brand.

Reporting to our Creative Lead, you’ll be supported to develop your skills, explore new techniques, and bring your design perspective to a wide range of creative challenges.

Your work will be varied, purposeful, and far from repetitive. Throughout the year, you’ll contribute to bold marketing campaigns on themes such as AI, technology and digital transformation, and cybersecurity, developing engaging B2B content for our clients while collaborating with internal stakeholders on projects that bring our culture and values to life. You’ll have ownership of your work, influence design direction, and help create impactful communications across both internal and external channels.

If you’re looking for a role that blends creative freedom with real responsibility and offers exposure to a wide variety of design disciplines and campaign types, this is an opportunity to make your mark.
