About this role

At Big Spaceship, we're explorers, not settlers. We partner with ambitious brands ready to venture into new territory, push creative boundaries, and lead rather than follow.

We're a full-service creative shop built for brands that want to break new ground. Our diverse team of entrepreneurial spirits, creative minds, and makers brings bold ideas to life for some of the world's most innovative and culturally connected brands. If you thrive on exploration, creative risk-taking, and charting new paths, you belong here.

We're looking for a Designer with a strong eye, a genuine love of design, and a curiosity to keep pushing what's possible. This is an opportunity to explore different creative challenges, work across multiple clients, and grow your craft in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. From branding and campaigns to digital experiences and beyond, you'll have the opportunity to experiment, stretch your skills, and make the role your own. We're especially excited about designers who are inspired by the worlds of luxury and travel, but above all, we're looking for someone with range, initiative, and a drive to keep evolving.
