Creative Strategist (London)

Vovi is a small London studio. We brand and build websites for VC-backed startups, deep-tech companies and universities - mostly US, and consistently aim for the kind of work that gets sent round in "have you seen this" messages. Tight team, high craft, no filler.

We've got more good work than hands. We need a young talented designer to support across brand and web, learn fast, and grow into bigger ownership. You'll also get hands-on with the AI-powered products we build for clients.

The role You turn messy client ambitions into sharp positioning, messaging and briefs our designers can run with. You'll also shape pitches and new business - so you need to like the thinking and the selling. A growing part of our work is helping clients figure out what AI means for their brand and building AI-powered products with them, and you'll be central to that.

We're open on level. If you're junior and seriously talented, we want to hear from you. If you've got years behind you and a sharp mind, same. Talent over tenure.
