De Montfort Students' Union (DSU) is looking for a creative and versatile Graphic Design and Content Coordinator to join our Marketing and Communications team working 32 hours per week.
The role
In this role, you will create high-quality graphic designs across all our digital and print channels, focusing on engaging, visually compelling content that resonates with a student audience and DSU stakeholders.
Responsibilities
You will be responsible for producing a wide variety of content, including digital assets for social media, email campaigns, web design, and display, as well as print materials such as leaflets, posters, and large-format designs. Motion graphics skills are highly desirable, but we also welcome candidates who are eager to learn and develop these skills on the job.
This role also involves updating content through our content management system (CMS). While prior experience with a CMS is a bonus, it is not essential, as you will have the opportunity to learn these skills while working with us. You’ll collaborate closely with student-facing and internal departments to bring design briefs to life and communicate DSU’s events, campaigns, services, and initiatives.
A keen eye for detail, a passion for delivering high-quality content, and a strong understanding of brand guidelines are essential to ensuring all outputs are consistent, on-brand, and impactful.
