Designer, Digital Media ​/ Production, Digital Marketing

Joining Cake as a designer is a brilliant opportunity to further your career and work with some of the biggest ecommerce brands in the business.

As a designer, your primary focus will be creating high-performing, on-brand digital design, across ecommerce websites, mobile experiences, paid ads, CRM/email campaigns, and social content.

You’ll work closely with strategists, developers, and marketers to make sure every output not only looks good, but works hard too.

You’ll be confident designing for digital-first brands, balancing aesthetics and functionality, and bringing clarity to complex challenges. While branding is already a strong skillset within the team, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to brand strategy and visual identity work where relevant, learning from others while growing your own capabilities.

We’re a tight-knit, collaborative agency, so you’ll be supported to grow, take creative ownership, and help push our creative standards forward.
