Additional Information
Fresh Food, Happy Dogs.
We believe dogs deserve the healthiest, most natural and tastiest meals - with none of the nasties. That's why we make FRESHly prepared food, cooked just like you would at home and delivered direct to our customers in perfect portions. As a B-Corp certified company, you're joining a sustainable business that genuinely cares about our people, our products and our impact on the planet. Our goal is simple: to help dogs live healthier, happier, and longer lives, while leaving humans smiling after every interaction.
We've come a long way since our co-founders (Kev & Dave), hand delivered the very first Butternut Box. Today, we feed hundreds of thousands of hungry dogs across the UK and Europe - but we won't stop until we're feeding dogs everywhere. To get there, we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition to come and work for us.
🐾 The job:
Please note that this role will close on: 26th June 2026
We're looking for a Senior Designer who can own projects end-to-end, balance craft with commercial impact, and raise the quality and consistency of everything our Studio ships.
You'll lead creative projects from concept to delivery across a varied mix of work: CRM, paid social, packaging, OOH, direct sales and more. You'll mentor a small but mighty Studio team. And you'll help us figure out where AI fits in the workflow before the rest of the industry does.
This isn't a brief-takes-and-execute role. It's an own-the-outcome role. You'll move the needle on performance, raise the bar on craft, and report into the Creative Studio Lead.
