Join team Kensa

Provided you’ve got a confident portfolio of work we can review, all levels of experience will be considered – though it’s ideal if you’ve previously worked in a commercial/agency environment (aka you’re familiar with the joys of being creative on a deadline).

You’ll need to be comfortable on a Mac and know the Adobe Creative Suite like the back of your hand, with a focus on Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. Knowledge of video editing, animation, photography or web design is a bonus and we can help you develop in any of these areas if you have an interest.

Working at Kensa:

Good design is central to everything we do here at Kensa, so as part of our design team you’ll get involved in a bit of everything. Day to day work can vary from crafting brand identities and building brochures to coming up with (and executing) conceptual advertising campaigns, all for a diverse range of clients.

We run an informal, flexible working environment where you’ll have the ability to develop your strengths, learn new skills and really make the role your own. We’ll supply the latest software, a nice shiny Mac and all the coffee you can drink, plus the occasional pizza.

You’ll need to have:

• A strong portfolio of work that shows us what you’re capable of
• Keen layout and composition skills
• An enthusiastic attitude and a passion for design
• Good time management and organisational skills (for a creative)
• A boatload of ideas and a sense of humour
• The ability to play nicely with others
• A pair of slippers

You’ll get:

A competitive salary, a buttload of benefits and a genuinely nice environment to work in.

Working hours:

8:30-5 Monday to Friday
(We actually mean that too, we respect your time and don’t believe in pressured overtime).

Location:

Our purpose built office in Telford, Shropshire. Easy access from the motorway and plenty of free parking!

The role is primarily office-based, although flexible working options may be considered based on individual circumstances.

Working alongside our wider team of videographers, animators, designers and producers you’ll create content a range of 3D content, from explainer videos and promotional videos to technical renders and visualisations.

You will be involved in the entire production process, from transforming a script into a dynamic storyboard, setting up an eye catching scene, bringing it to life through animation, rendering and editing the final result.

You’ll know your way around Cinema 4D, or have experience using Blender or similar and be willing to learn.
