Graphic Design Lead

Location: Antrim, Northern Ireland (Hybrid)

Start Date: ASAP

Salary: £35,000–£40,000 per annum, depending on experience

The Present Tree is an award-winning UK gifting business specialising in beautifully hand-wrapped trees and plants for life's meaningful occasions: birthdays, weddings, new arrivals, memorials, and retirement. Our products are organically nurtured, sustainably sourced, and delivered free across the UK. We are a passionate, growing team with a reputation for exceptional quality and customer experience.

We're looking for an experienced Graphic Designer who is particularly skilled in re‑touching images using Adobe Photoshop. The successful candidate thrives on tight deadlines, and brings organisation to file management. This is a hands‑on role covering both creative output and the admin that keeps a growing design library usable, so we need someone who takes as much pride in a well‑organised folder as they do in a well‑retouched image.

• Hybrid role based from our beautiful office in Antrim, Northern Ireland, with some days working remotely during the week.
• Flexible working between 8am and 6pm, to suit you.

• Create and edit high‑quality visual assets for digital use, including social media graphics, website imagery, email graphics, and marketing collateral.
• Retouching product photography by hand in Adobe Photoshop to meet brand standards. Genuine photo manipulation skill is core to this role.
• Produce assets consistent with The Present Tree's visual identity: natural tones, clean layouts, and a premium feel.
• Manage the full lifecycle of design files, including consistent renaming, folder structuring, and version control, so assets remain easy to locate and reuse across the team.
• Maintain a clear, logical file‑naming convention for all new and existing assets, and keep documentation of this system up to date.
• Collaborate with the marketing and socials teams to interpret briefs and deliver polished work with minimal revisions.
• Resize and adapt existing assets for multiple platforms and formats.
• Provide files in appropriate formats for both web and print use.
• Support Shopify product imagery and general e‑commerce asset creation.
• Excellent, demonstrable Adobe Photoshop skills. This is essential and non‑negotiable. We are specifically looking for evidence of genuine hand‑executed retouching and compositing skill, not AI‑generated imagery.
• Strong working knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign advantageous).
• A portfolio showcasing high‑quality digital retouching work.
• Strong administrative discipline: proven ability to organise, rename, and structure large volumes of files methodically and consistently.
• Experience working with lifestyle, gifting, retail, or e‑commerce brands.
• A keen eye for detail and a strong aesthetic sensibility aligned with premium brands.
• Ability to interpret briefs independently and deliver polished outputs with minimal revisions.
• Comfortable managing a busy, varied workload with competing deadlines.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, positive attitude.

• Experience with Shopify product imagery or e‑commerce asset creation.
• Familiarity with Canva for team‑accessible template creation.
• Experience setting up digital asset management (DAM) systems or shared drive structures.

• Hybrid working from our Antrim office, with flexible hours to suit you.
• A friendly, values‑driven team and a beautiful brand.
