Jelly Drops is a socially driven start-up focused on meeting the nutritional needs of people that struggle to maintain a regular diet. Originally began as a project at the Royal College of Art in 2018, Jelly Drops’ bright, fun and eye-catching brand has gone on to receive worldwide coverage and multiple awards. We are passionate about creating inclusive and stigma free products to help all across society. This influences everything we do - ingredients, packaging and branding.

Working Environment

• Friendly team & bright, airy office with the best views of London!
• Great location: close to the cafes and bars of Broadway Market

We are looking for a multi-talented Graphic Designer to join our small but passionate team in Hackney to create and assist with the development of engaging brand assets, artwork and marketing campaigns. As a small company with a big audience this is an exciting opportunity to have agency/input across all media with the potential to influence all design outputs from online to packaging and an input into our overall brand identity and strategy. You will join us at an exciting time! Building on our successful launch in the US last year, we have plans to go to Canada, the EU and beyond.

Jelly Drops is an agile company, and this would suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced, changing (but friendly) environment. You will work closely with our Marketing Manager and Founders and whilst the core of the job will be graphic design, there will be opportunities to work in other areas such as new product development and marketing and the role is yours to be shaped

Please send us your CV (resume) together with a 300 word cover letter and portfolio (use the file upload option or include a link in your cover letter).
