About Jay-Be

Jay-Be is a British manufacturer of folding beds, mattresses and sofa beds, based in West Yorkshire. We supply some of the UK’s leading retailers, as well as customers across the hospitality and contract sectors.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for an experienced and creative Digital Designer to join our team and help us develop our digital presence and brand.

The Role

This is a broad creative role with plenty of scope to make your mark.

Working closely with our Head of IT & Digital Operations and the wider team, you’ll create a wide range of digital and marketing content, from website galleries and banners through to social media, email campaigns, brochures and video.

We’re also keen to make better use of AI across our creative output, so you’ll be expected to understand and confidently use the latest AI tools to develop ideas, create content and enhance existing photography and video.

Key Responsibilities

• Create engaging website galleries and digital content for Jay-Be and our retail partners.
• Design website banners, promotional materials and social media content.
• Shoot and edit video content for social media and other digital channels.
• Create brochures and other marketing materials for both digital and print.
• Design and manage email marketing campaigns using Klaviyo.
• Use AI tools to create and enhance still imagery, video and creative concepts.
• Work with ChatGPT and other AI tools to develop ideas and speed up the creative process.
• Support the wider team with creative requirements as needed.
• Help maintain a consistent and engaging Jay-Be brand across all channels.

About You

You’ll be a creative, hands-on designer with a strong portfolio demonstrating a broad range of work across different formats and channels.

You’ll have strong traditional design skills alongside a genuine interest in new technology and AI. You should be comfortable experimenting with new tools and finding practical ways to use them to improve the quality and efficiency of your work.

You’ll need:

• A strong portfolio demonstrating a diverse range of creative work.
• Excellent knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
• Good knowledge of typography, layout, colour theory and visual hierarchy.
• Experience creating digital content for websites and social media.
• Experience using AI tools to create or enhance still images and video.
• Confidence using ChatGPT or similar AI tools to develop creative concepts and ideas.
• The ability to interpret a brief and turn it into effective, engaging creative work.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Confidence working both independently and as part of a small team.
• A proactive, positive and creative approach to your work.

Experience with Adobe Premiere, Figma or Adobe XD would be beneficial, as would photography and videography skills.

Why Jay-Be?

Jay-Be is a growing British manufacturer with ambitious plans and a strong, well-established brand. We’re a relatively small team, so this isn’t a role where you’ll be restricted to one particular area of design. You’ll have plenty of variety, the opportunity to bring your own ideas and the chance to make a genuine impact on how the Jay-Be brand develops across our digital and creative channels.

We’re also investing in new technology and AI, so it’s a great opportunity for someone who combines strong creative fundamentals with a real interest in digital, AI and emerging technology. If you’re curious, creative, comfortable learning new things and want to play a genuine role in a growing business, we’d like to hear from you.
