Longitude is looking for freelance creatives and designers to support on the digital execution of our clients’ thought leadership campaigns.

For the right candidates, this is an opportunity to collaborate with an innovative and exciting company that supports some of the world’s best-known brands – while working on a flexible, project-by-project basis.

We want to hear from individuals based in the UK with proven expertise in:

Specifically, we are looking for individuals with the following skills and personal qualities:

• Proficiency in standard design tools (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop), as well as in relevant tools where required (e.g. After Effects for animation, etc.)
• Ability to produce innovative, clean and artful design solutions – especially for the visualization of numerical data
• Ability to work closely with demanding international clients and challenge their thinking where necessary
• Basic understanding of data, combined with flawless attention to detail
• Excellent organizational and time-keeping skills
• Understanding of UX and UI across web, mobile, social
• Knowledge of HTML and CSS is a plus
