Senior Designer

Pat-a-Cake is Hachette Children’s Group’s brand-new baby, preschool and early years imprint. It will begin publishing its first titles in Spring 2017 with a mix of in-house created concepts and the best of brands and licensing. It is by far the most exciting imprint of its kind at the moment in the UK.

 

Pat-a-Cake is looking for a Senior Designer with experience in designing for preschool and brands. This is a fantastic job for a dynamic and innovative designer with excellent project management skills, market awareness and brand sensitivity. The Pat-a-Cake list is firmly grounded in how children develop, creating products (both in print and digital) that are appropriate to each stage of a child’s development. We want to create products that support and enhance development so an interest in the creation of new formats is essential. This means working very closely with editorial and production colleagues on new concepts and products. Our new Senior Designer will be buzzing with new ideas, brave enough to try something different and commercially savvy.

 

An ability to work effectively across departments and with agents, authors and artists is essential, as is being able to prioritise effectively to meet tight deadlines. Knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite is essential. You will also include engaging and managing freelance design resource and negotiating artwork fees, as appropriate. You’ll report to the Creative Director but will be working incredibly closely with the Pat-a-Cake Publisher.

 

If you think this sounds like you then we want to hear from you! Tell us why you are the perfect choice for Pat-a-Cake.

 

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package.
