We are Brand Experience Engineers

As Brand Experience Engineers, we create innovative and award-winning brand-driven digital experiences. From high-level brand definition and strategy, to helping our clients with the day-to-day challenges of delivering their distinctive brand experience to customers in the real and digital world.

We’re not just designers. We tell stories, solve problems and inspire our clients and their customers to do something new. This takes focus, hard work and dedication.

That’s where you come in. You’ll play an important role in driving the business to deliver against our vision. Here you’ll find a clear definition of what will be expected from you in your role – and the creative excellence we’re looking to you to deliver as part of our creative team.

You and your role

As a passionate and motivated Senior Designer, you’ll have the opportunity to support your Creative Directors, Design Directors and the wider team across a broad range of clients and projects. It’s likely you’ll work on several projects at once, so you’ll naturally relish variety, be a great multi-tasker and a guardian for the quality and high standard of our work.

At times, you’ll be leading and managing your own projects, and following the creative vision and direction set by your Creative and Design Directors. So you’ll be an expert at working independently and meeting deadlines, both in time and on budget.

You’ll need to demonstrate exceptional creativity and craft with a hunger to learn and the drive to grow. As someone with a self-starter attitude, you’ll be a naturally curious and hands-on creative – bringing new ideas, techniques and trends to the table – continuing to set the bar higher for all we do.

As a senior member of the creative team, we’ll look to you to be a confident and pro-active leader as well as a collaborative team player. Adapting to an agile environment, working in integrated teams across disciplines as well as collaborating with clients in blended teams.

You should be someone who motivates, inspires and guides the vision of the design team, mentoring and training less-experienced members. As an exceptional communicator, you’ll be confident in not only directing your team but also listening to the opinions of others and drawing strength from different perspectives. And of course, you’ll be a passionate presenter – especially to clients – selling the vision, championing innovation and building trust with every piece of work and interaction.

Do you love people? Love creativity? Love the idea of working for a company that’s at the top of its game? Oh, well, that’s good. We might have a job for you…

Our team is full of fun, experience, and hunger (both literally and metaphorically… We take team meals out very seriously.). We love what we do and we love our team. What makes Red Sofa so special and unique within the recruiting industry really is our team – and we’re looking to expand… *The lights darken, dramatic music plays, a spotlight shines on you.* Think you’ve got what it takes to make it in our industry? Want to join our team? Read on.

At Red Sofa, we all LOVE working in advertising recruitment. We live and breathe creativity in the way that our clients and candidates do. Red Sofa has a distinctive vibe and energy that can be found in each and every one of our team. We like to think that what makes Red Sofa unique is our brand; we have worked hard over the years to be thought of as leaders in our space and to be creative when it comes to representing our clients and candidates.

As the digital and social world evolves, we see it as our role to grow and develop with it, generating fresh and impactful ways to reach new talent, communicate with our clients and be at the forefront of new approaches. We want you to be comfortable in representing our brand and we will help you in building your own personal brand within the industry.

SO. What would we need from you.

• A passion or interest in the creative & advertising world
• Innovating new ways to find and engage Creatives, Designers, Project Managers, Account Managers, Social Media experts etc
• Able to match skillsets and talent to Red Sofa’s clients and roles
• Strong and engaging communication skills, leading with an inquisitive nature
• Organisation skills to manage time effectively and keep on top of administrative task.
• Using sales, business development, marketing techniques, and networking in order to attract business from client companies. Meeting them face to face where possible
• Advertising vacancies appropriately by drafting and placing adverts in a wide range of media (e.g. website, online, linked in, social channels)
• Headhunting – identifying and approaching suitable candidates both passive and active
• Keep the candidate database up to date with relevant candidate information, making it easy to source great candidates when a new brief comes in
• A love of creativity for generating market-relevant content (We have some pretty active social accounts and a new TikTok, and we’d love for you to get involved!)

Like all recruitment businesses we are growing; so we are hiring. However, it is also important to talk about what your personal growth could look like too when you work for RedSofa. We don’t expect people to sit in the Junior Consultant role for a long time; we have a personalised training programme that will take you from your journey of potentially knowing very little about recruitment, to knowing everything there is to know and how best to master it. This will take you from Junior Consultant and then Consultant and then World Leader…. (Or you can just stick with what you know and now love and make lots of money as a recruiter. The choice is yours). All we ask for is an open mindset, a learning mentality, and a bit of light-heartedness. It is worth us being honest here; recruitment can be truly rewarding, great fun, and is one of few careers where your earnings are uncapped. But it can be hard work; it takes ambition, constant reflection, and consistency.

What will you get from us? Sessions with a creative recruitment trainer and coach, a seriously cool team of extremely knowledgeable consultants, flexible working, lovely office space in Farringdon, plenty of social gatherings and fun outings, lots of other lovely benefits, and a business that doesn’t take itself too seriously. We are here for a good time, not a long time. Or both. Hopefully both. Let’s enjoy work and have some fun along the way.
