Designer

Phantom is looking for an exceptional Designer to join our multidisciplinary London-based creative team. As a member of the design team, you’ll work alongside talented designers, strategists, and technologists to imagine the unbelievable and turn it into reality.

Who we are

Phantom is a digitally-led creative agency, headquartered in London, where two things are valued above all else: curiosity and craft.

 

Started by four people in 2013, we’ve grown into a company 100+ people strong, with locations spanning across two hemispheres (our other studio in Auckland). Our clients choose us because of the collaboration, innovation and creativity we bring to each project. We choose our clients because they’re brands we love to work with, who in turn inspire us to make work we love.

 

Always careful, never boring, we work on everything from traditional ad campaigns to developing products to designing digital road signs. If you’re somebody who enjoys a new challenge each day, Phantom is your place.

You are confident in your craft and take direction well. You understand that the presentation of your work is as important as the work itself. Your portfolio demonstrates work that is progressive, diverse and thoughtful. You’re precise, detail-oriented and consistently meet deadlines.

You bring
