Communications & Content Lead

Join the HemingwayDesign team

We're looking for a creative, organised and culturally curious Comms & Content Lead to lead communications across the HemingwayDesign studio and our growing portfolio of events, festivals and social impact projects.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves creating brilliant content, telling compelling stories and building engaged audiences. One day you could be filming behind-the-scenes content at an event, the next launching a new campaign, designing a webpage, writing a press release or analysing performance to shape what's next.

You'll lead communications for HemingwayDesign, Curated by HD, Classic Car Boot Sale and work closely with the dedicated team behind Charity Super.Mkt — one of the UK's most exciting sustainable retail concepts.

If you're passionate about design, culture, sustainability and creating work that makes a positive difference, we'd love to hear from you.
