Michael Joseph are looking for a highly creative and versatile Designer to join our award-winning Art department.

You’ll breathe new life into our non-fiction illustrated books, creating new looks for established brand authors and helping to turn little-known stories into tomorrow’s bestsellers.

About Michael Joseph (MJ)

Penguin Michael Joseph publishes some of the world’s most popular authors. We specialise in women’s fiction, crime, thriller, cookery, memoir and lifestyle books. Many of our authors are now, or soon will be, household names, here in the UK and around the world. We seek out the very best authors in their field and bring their books to the widest possible audience. We take an author’s vision and turn it into a beautiful book people can’t help but talk about. In a crowded market, our books shine.

Our MJ cookery and lifestyle authors include Nadiya Hussain, Dawn French, Stephen Fry, James Norbury, Clare Andrews, Giuseppe Federici, Gary Barlow, Dominique Woolf, Kay Barron and Seema Pankhania.

The Opportunity

Joining a team of 8 and reporting into the Head of Design for Illustrated Books,  you’ll be responsible for working on book covers and insides across a range of illustrated non-fiction books including cookery, self-help, fashion and gift.

You can expect to be inputting into weekly covers meetings with the publishing teams and working closely with colleagues in Production, Editorial, Sales and Marketing and Publicity.

Your unrivalled imagination will enable you to bring new ideas to life and you won’t shy away from taking creative risks to achieve fantastic results with each project.  You’ll work super creativity and think outside the box, montaging images and playing with colour, figures, fonts and more to produce the best covers in the business.  You’ll be expected to attend photoshoots, providing art direction, and be responsible for selecting images to go into layout.

Help us design elegant, accessible websites for leading arts and cultural organisations

Role: UX/UI Designer
Salary: £30-35k – depending on experience
Location: Fully-remote team (UK-based)
Type: Permanent, full-time, flexible hours
Apply by: Mon 7 October

Our remote team is dotted all over the UK, and we’re looking for an experienced UX/UI Designer. As well as someone with a keen eye for design, and experience creating elegant and efficient UX/UI, we’re looking for the right person – an intelligent self-starter who enjoys a challenge, takes pride in their work, and is always keen to improve.

👉 Is this you?

You’re passionate about design and user experience, and have a great eye for design detail. You enjoy creating and presenting elegant and efficient solutions to complex problems – with the end user in mind.

With around 2-3 years of agency experience in UX/UI design, you have a strong understanding of web development, digital accessibility, and user behaviour. You feel confident sharing work, and talking through concepts, solutions, and challenges – with fellow designers, developers, other colleagues, and clients.

Day-to-day, you’re comfortable moving between quick-turnaround design fixes and big, slower-paced projects. You can manage your own time and to-do list – but enjoy being an active part of a friendly team focused on designing the most accessible, sustainable, and inclusive websites.

👉 Job Description

As well as working on existing client websites, you’ll be heavily involved in the design of new websites – from initial concepts, through to creating a full set of high-fidelity design components – using Figma.

Additionally you’ll:

•    Work closely with colleagues to ensure that design solutions meet both organisational and end user requirements
•    Be involved in, and sometimes lead, discussions about design and user experience – with both colleagues and clients
•    Create/collaborate on prototyping and user testing
•    Play a role in making sure our design processes are smooth and efficient
•    Contribute to wider discussions about the role of UX/UI in improving digital accessibility and sustainability

(This is a design role, so we don’t expect you to know how to code. But you do need a good level of understanding of front end web development.)

You may not have previous experience with everything in this job description, but if the role seems right for you – and vice versa – do consider applying.

👉 About Supercool

Hello! We’re a friendly team of problem-solvers, based all over the UK, who create websites that make life easier for arts and cultural organisations – and their audiences.

Accessibility-focused 
A belief that art and culture are for everyone runs through all that we do, so we have a strong focus on accessibility.

A 100% remote team
We all work from home, so are heavy users of Slack and video calls day-to-day, and meet in person once a year or so. We can provide financial support to help you set up a home office if you need it, as well as providing a laptop and other equipment you need to succeed in the role.

We care about your work/life balance 
Standard work days are Monday-Friday 8am-4pm, and we offer flexible working outside of core hours (10am-4pm). Though we try and stick to these hours, sometimes you’ll be needed at other times. If you’re asked to work outside of your normal hours, you’ll get Time Off In Lieu. (This should be a given, but isn’t always!)

Learning = good! 
We support and encourage professional development – making time for R&D as part of the team, as well as self-directed learning. If you’re interested in doing a course or would like to attend a conference; holler! We’re excited by new developments in tech, and everyone’s ideas and input help to shape the company and how we work.

Meet the team 👋
Passionate, knowledgeable, and experienced, we’re a mix of developers, designers, digital strategists, and data geeks. Meet the folks you’ll be working with over on the About page of our website.

👉 Salary and benefits

•    £30-35k depending on experience
•    Fully-remote working
•    Flexible hours
•    35 days holiday a year, plus …
•    Additional holiday for long service, starting after 2 years
•    Healthcare cover

We regularly benchmark salaries against industry standards [with experts like Major Players, MKS, The DBA, Source and Benchpress] to ensure our compensation packages are competitive and fair. We are committed to transparency and fairness in our hiring process and discuss salary openly with candidates during the interview stage. This approach ensures everyone is evaluated on their merits and potential rather than on predetermined salary brackets. We embrace the concept of ‘know your worth’.

Intern Academy

We are proud and committed to paying our interns an additional 10% on the London Living Wage. And whilst we cannot promise, we always seek opportunities to offer permanent roles to interns should there be an opening.

Feedback

We get many applicants for each role which is very much appreciated but unfortunately, it makes it challenging to provide feedback to every applicant. You will always receive an email response to show that we have received your application.

You will of course get written and/or verbal feedback if you make it to the interview stage but are not selected for the role.
