Sircle Collection is expanding to new cities in 2023. With properties opening in key getaway locations across Europe and beyond, we’re looking for a talented Graphic Designer to join our Marketing team for this exciting next chapter.
In this position, you’ll be based in Amsterdam and will work alongside our lead Graphic Designer to support Sircle Collections' vibrant group of one-of-a-kind hotels, restaurants and bars in Europe's most interesting neighborhoods. From a sleek getaway in Amsterdam Noord to a sun-soaked hideaway in Ibiza, we’re creating a diverse and surprising collection of boutique hospitality brands. Our portfolio contains a wide range of brand styles to work on from trendy boutique hotels, restaurants, exclusive members’ clubs, a high-end fashion store and of course the parent company: Sircle Collection.

As part of the creative team, you’ll play an important role in developing, creating, and implementing designs across our entire brand portfolio. Key duties include: creating beautiful, printed collateral; designing dynamic marketing campaigns; and supporting the growth and appeal of our brands to new audiences in new markets.

With 2+ years of experience, you’ll bring big ideas and new approaches to the team, a genuine passion for solving things creatively, and a can-do attitude ready to take on new challenges. Visit us here to learn more about our properties featured in Condé Nast Traveller, The Telegraph, Architectural Digest, GQ, and many more.

What you’ll do

● Create inventive, full-scale marketing campaign

● Produce and update all print collateral attached to the brands

● Create new looks for our hotel's event programming
● Define and maintain styles and standards for our brands, across all touchpoints
● You’ll translate operational, marketing and e-commerce initiatives for digital and print communication across all platforms
● Create briefs with an overarching brand vision for freelance creatives

The best candidate is someone that is a highly organised expert in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, Powerpoint, and Sketch / Figma (experience in AfterEffects and Premiere is a plus). You also know your way around print media from small to large print collateral, brand design, digital design, social media campaign building, art direction and animation. You are able to work both within our various brand styles and have the creativity to build new brand identities when needed in-house. An ability for art direction: able to brief photographers, illustrators and any other freelance creatives - a strong network of industry creatives is also a big plus. This together with a strong taste in design aesthetics, with deep knowledge of the graphic design industry. This all means that you need to be able to balance multiple projects at once.

In combination with:
