Graphic Designer

About the Company

House of Colour is a global personal styling franchise and the leading one of its kind worldwide. Established in London in 1985, the business remains founder-led and has spent more than four decades helping people feel confident through colour analysis, style analysis, cosmetics, and related services.

About the Role

The company is looking for a Graphic Designer for the Global Brand team to help shape and maintain a strong visual identity across international markets. As the brand continues to expand in the UK, the US, and Canada, this position will play an important part in producing consistent, scalable, and high-quality design work that supports both brand strategy and fast-moving day-to-day needs.

This is a hands-on role that combines creative thinking with practical delivery. You will work across many business areas and support multiple markets, often managing several projects at once and delivering to tight deadlines. The role is expected to begin as the only in-house design resource within the Global Brand team, though that may change as the organisation grows.

Reporting Structure

You will report to the Global Brand Director and collaborate with teams across Sales, Operations, Technology, Education, Intellectual Property, Finance, Franchise Recruitment, Supply, Training, and Franchise Relations.
