Graphic Designer and Video Editor

The Role

This role is a new position in the Wren Sterling Group Marketing team. It’s an opportunity to continue the video work that has been underway for a few years, but it is a blank canvas because of the chance to help the brand be more impactful online, on social, and in client and prospect communications.

The company is also growing rapidly, so there will be many opportunities to try things out for the first time and to help shape the activity of the Marketing team.

Responsible for supporting the Marketing Director and the Senior Marketing Executive to complete business-wide projects that require design support, including campaigns to new and existing clients, sales support collateral, and internal communications initiatives.

Marketing has numerous stakeholders in the business as well as being “the voice of the client”, so it’s important to manage competing priorities while being responsive and professional at all times.
