JUNIOR DESIGNER (6-month FTC) – OVERVIEW

We are looking for a junior designer to join the Design team within our Marketing department at Generator HQ in London to support across all Generator & Freehand Hotels locations in Europe and the United States. As a talented junior designer, you will be confident in creating new concepts and used to producing exceptional work with a strong portfolio to prove it.  You’ll be experienced with creating a visual language from identity and guidelines; and producing collateral for digital and print channels alike.

The role is based out of our WeWork office in Hammersmith, working 5 days from the office. This is a 6-month Fixed Term Contract. If you have a genuine desire to be part of something big then your journey should start here.

Who are we?
Generator is on a journey. Appropriate, given that we're a leading global lifestyle accommodation brand. The journey began in London, swung through a heap of European capitals on its way to dominating the world. Generator burst onto the scene in the Americas with the launch of Generator Miami and Washington DC and most recently took aim at the country’s biggest markets (NYC, LA, Miami and Chicago) with the acquisition of Freehand Hotels.

No biggie. Fast Company named us one of the top 50 most innovative global companies. We, of course, agree. And now this top 50 most innovative global company (did we mention that?) wants a pretty awesome Junior Designer for our Generator Head Office, .

Our spaces are safe and seriously social, in the proudest part of the beating heart of the cities we love. Cultural action, creative pulse and an outstanding way to waste some of the finite time the universe has given you - that's what Generator offers. Holds true for staff and visitors equally, and while chic design is always the backdrop, every Generator in every destination reflects the unique beat of that city's heart.

BEING YOURSELF is the key to bringing the Generator story and brand to life.

What’s the job?
