Role

Concrete Canvas is recruiting a graphic design graduate to fill a design and marketing role within the company’s sales team.

The candidate will play a key role at every stage; liaising with customers, documenting onsite installations, writing copy, preparing images for print and designing and distributing the finished material to our global distribution network across several channels.
