Marketing Designer

Following our recent rebrand from SF Recruitment, SF Partners is entering an exciting new phase of growth. We support leadership appointments that shape the direction of businesses - and how we communicate that to the market has never been more important. Our marketing function plays a key role in supporting our sales teams (recruitment consultants), building brand visibility and driving engagement across multiple channels. As the team evolves, we’re looking to strengthen our creative capability with a design-focused role that helps bring our brand, campaigns and content to life.

The Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Designer / Creative Marketing Executive to join our growing marketing team. This is a hands-on creative role with a strong focus on producing high-quality visual assets across digital and print channels, including brochures, salary guides, pitch decks, social media graphics, email creatives, website imagery and campaign materials. You’ll work closely with the Head of Marketing and Senior Brand Executive, taking creative briefs and turning them into polished, on-brand assets that support business development, consultant visibility and wider marketing activity. This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, is highly organised, has strong attention to detail and is confident working in a fast-paced B2B environment.

Full-time, hybrid – 2x per week at Birmingham HQ.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Create high-quality visual assets across brochures, salary guides, pitch decks, social media posts, email creatives, website imagery, event materials and internal communications

• Support day-to-day marketing administration, workflows and project coordination across multiple priorities
• Work closely with the Senior Brand Executive to ensure creative assets support brand, content and campaign objectives
