Marketing Designer - #2073128

Following our recent rebrand from SF Recruitment, SF Partners is entering an exciting new phase of growth. We support leadership appointments that shape the direction of businesses - and how we communicate that to the market has never been more important.
Our marketing function plays a key role in supporting our sales teams (recruitment consultants), building brand visibility and driving engagement across multiple channels. As the team evolves, we’re looking to strengthen our creative capability with a design-focused role that helps bring our brand, campaigns and content to life.

The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Designer / Creative Marketing Executive to join our growing marketing team.
This is a hands-on creative role with a strong focus on producing high-quality visual assets across digital and print channels, including brochures, salary guides, pitch decks, social media graphics, email creatives, website imagery and campaign materials.
You’ll work closely with the Head of Marketing and Senior Brand Executive, taking creative briefs and turning them into polished, on-brand assets that support business development, consultant visibility and wider marketing activity.
This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, is highly organised, has strong attention to detail and is confident working in a fast-paced B2B environment.

Full-time, hybrid – 2x per week at Birmingham HQ.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Create high-quality visual assets across brochures, salary guides, pitch decks, social media posts, email creatives, website imagery, event materials and internal communications
• Translate briefs from the marketing team into polished, on-brand creative outputs
• Support the delivery of multi-channel campaigns by producing assets for LinkedIn, email, web, events and sales collateral
• Create and maintain branded templates for presentations, social posts, documents and campaign materials
• Help ensure all creative output is consistent with SF Partners’ brand guidelines, tone and visual identity
• Support LinkedIn activity through the creation of visual content and post templates
• Schedule, publish and manage social content where required
• Support website content updates, including uploading imagery, blogs and campaign assets
• Assist with formatting and designing thought leadership content, reports, guides and consultant-led market insight
• Help maintain organised asset libraries, design files and marketing templates
• Support day-to-day marketing administration, workflows and project coordination across multiple priorities
• Work closely with the Senior Brand Executive to ensure creative assets support brand, content and campaign objectives

What We’re Looking For

We’re open to shaping this role around the right person, but ideally you’ll bring:

• Strong design skills, with experience creating professional B2B marketing materials
• Confidence using Canva, with Adobe Creative Cloud experience highly desirable
• Experience designing for social media, PowerPoint presentations, brochures, reports, email and web
• A good understanding of brand consistency, layout, typography and visual hierarchy

• A proactive, “get stuck in” mindset with strong attention to detail
• Confidence working with internal stakeholders and responding to briefs
• Comfortable supporting social scheduling and basic marketing administration
• Comfortable making basic website updates, or willing to learn; Craft CMS experience would be beneficial but is not essential
• An interest in using AI tools to improve creative and marketing efficiency
• Ideally, experience in B2B marketing, professional services, recruitment, consultancy or another sales-led environment
