Your reason for being here…

To deliver robust creative design services, for the business and our external clients, that wow everyone who comes into contact with your work.

The way you roll…

You have a true love for all things ‘design’, and your eye for detail never goes unnoticed. You thrive in a fast-paced agency environment. Of course, it helps that you are an excellent communicator, can understand client and team briefs at speed and work efficiently.

You’d describe yourself as a seasoned graphic designer, and you’ll bring an incredible portfolio of client work along with you. Thanks to years of experience, you can take a brief and bring it to life quickly and effectively for your clients and team.

Working on a variety of different projects is the dream for you, and multi-tasking with multiple stakeholders is standard. Whether working solo or as part of the team, you always strive for perfection! Tight deadlines don’t worry you – you always remain calm and polished and enjoy being client facing.

Here at TSEC our philosophy is ‘Anything’s Possible’. You’re our perfect match, because you thrive on going above and beyond to make magic happen.

• Contributing to the introduction of new technologies in the delivery of presentations and on-screen graphics
