You’re obsessed with making everything the best it can be. Bolder ideas. Tighter craft. Richer ways of linking the two together. You're honing your practice, constantly experimenting and finessing the details. You bring energy, curiosity and a point of view, without the ego. You're finding your own way, while learning from everyone around you. And you’re excited to see what happens next.
About the role
You’ll be at the heart of the creative process. Getting stuck into ideas, exploring possibilities and developing design solutions that help our clients stand apart. Collaborating closely with strategists, writers, designers and creative technologists, contributing your thinking and building on the ideas around you.
You’ll work across brand creation, rebrands and other creative challenges, taking increasing ownership of your work from the first idea to the final detail. Mastering the fundamentals of world-class design, while learning when to question the rules, try something different and push things somewhere unexpected.
You’ll be surrounded by people who will challenge you, support you and expect you to do the same for them. You’ll share your thinking, ask for feedback and develop the confidence to have strong opinions without being precious about them. Because it doesn’t really matter whose idea it was. It matters how good we can make it together.
Who we’re looking for
You’re actively seeking out new ideas, cultural influences, tools, and technologies. We don’t expect you to know everything, but we do expect a mindset that is curious, ambitious, collaborative, and unwilling to settle for average.
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive environment where everyone can feel appreciated for who they are and supported in their personal and professional growth. We encourage applications from people who may not necessarily ‘fit’ the typical branding agency mould. We’re looking for creative people looking for something different, because we are too.
While we have a flexible approach to remote working, we have a studio-first culture. With everyone on the team spending a minimum of 24 hours (roughly 3 days) a week in the studio.
Salary
From £35,000 depending on experience

We want every person to feel as comfortable as possible in this process, so here’s a run-down of how it might look and feel. If there are any doubts you have or any adjustments you need, please just let us know.
Step 1
Online submission
Start by introducing yourself and your experience, explaining why you want to join our team. Please include your CV, and, if you’re applying for a creative role, some examples of your work.
Step 2
Getting to know you
If you’ve caught our attention, we’d love to jump on a call. This will be with a member of the People & Culture Team. A chance for us to get to know you better and understand what it is that excites you most.
Step 3
In-person interview
At this stage, you’ll meet with a relevant Team Head or Manager at our London studio. Giving you a feel for Ragged Edge in the flesh. Here we want to catch a glimpse of how you think and your approach to work, so please bring along some examples to speak through.
Step 4
Final creative share
Following a phone check-in and briefing, you’ll be invited back to our studio to present your creative share. This is an opportunity to take us deeper into your thought processes. As well as the successes and missteps that got you here. Collaboration is key, so we’ll invite 5 or 6 members of different teams to join you in the room too.
Hints for difference
Be authentically you
Your ways of thinking mean more to us than where you worked last. We’re looking for talent at its most genuine.
Know your work
No one does better than you. Prepare to go deep into how you formed an idea or reached a conclusion. We want to be taken along for those rides.
Stay curious
We don’t find difference when we go with the flow. We find it when we ask difficult questions. Think about what you want to know from us and why.
Help us help you
Less of a hint, more of an ask. But could we have done better? Let us know in the feedback sessions. We love to listen.
