Designer - Unit M at The University of Manchester

About the role

As our Designer, you’ll bring creativity and craft to everything Unit M does. Working closely with our Head of Design, you’ll help shape how our ideas and brands are expressed — through digital and print materials, presentations, events, and campaigns that capture attention and tell powerful stories.

You’ll collaborate with colleagues across design, brand, communications, and innovation to produce creative work that reflects Manchester’s unmistakable spirit — bold, inventive, and full of energy.

What you’ll do

• Create visually striking materials for internal and external projects — from PowerPoint decks and social graphics to printed reports and event assets.
• Support the evolution of Unit M’s visual identity and brand assets.
• Produce graphics, infographics, illustrations, and short videos to bring our work to life.
• Learn and experiment with emerging design tools (Figma, ProtoPie, Spline, and more).
• Be part of a fast-moving team where ideas become action — and where creativity drives impact.
