• Produce and adapt marketing assets across paid, organic, and owned channels, including resizes, format variations, and channel-specific executions, working within SumUp's visual identity system
• Support the team with reactive creative requests across campaigns, events, internal comms, and marketing design execution
• Contribute to employer brand content across LinkedIn, careers pages, and recruiting collateral, aligned to the new brand identity
• Run lightweight brand QA checks on marketing and internal materials before they ship, flagging inconsistencies early
• Support the localisation and implementation of asset sets in Contentful, in collaboration with a senior designer
• Contribute to the development and documentation of scalable design templates for use across the business

• Hands-on proficiency in Figma and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)

• Organised and rigorous with digital files: naming conventions, folder structures, asset libraries, at a level that others can rely on
• Sharp eye for detail and notice inconsistencies in type, colour, spacing, and layout
• Take ownership of work, flag blockers early, and follow through without needing to be chased
• Genuine curiosity about brand strategy, not just how things look, but why
