We are Ocado, the UK’s only dedicated online supermarket. We were built to deliver first-class service centred entirely around our customers’ changing needs.

For the past 17 years, we have been changing the way people shop for groceries. We make shopping liberating: quicker, easier, more convenient, and with more choice. An astonishing 9 out of 10 customers would recommend our service to a friend. That’s why, in one of the most unforgiving retail sectors in the world, we continue to outgrow the market.

We recently announced the creation of a new company, jointly owned by Marks & Spencer Group and Ocado Group, that will be responsible for ocado.com and its future.

It’s a momentous time, and we’re looking for commercial, smart thinkers with extraordinary drive, passion, curiosity and guts to join us for the next step of our remarkable journey.

Are you a up-and-coming art director with 360º thinking, commercially aware and a passion for food…then read on.

Ocado is a pioneering online grocery delivery service that is revolutionising the way people shop. We’re not like old-fashioned supermarkets.  We're growing fast and on the lookout for extraordinary people. We like working with talented people with drive and ambition. If that sounds like you and you’d like to join a  busy creative team in a fast-moving and growing business, you know what to do. (hopefully, that’s the first test). 
 
You’ll need:

  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Good presentation skills.
  • Strong adobe suite skills.
  • A good understanding of colour theory.
  • A good understanding of typography and hierarchy of messaging.
  • An eye for detail.
  • Comfortable working alongside photographers.
  • Good organisational skills.
  • Quick wits, common sense and plenty of initiative.
  • A good understanding of grocery retail would be preferable.
     

Accountabilities:

  • Work on a variety of projects - static and moving creative solutions for print and digital.
  • Idea generation - Work alone or in a team to generate ideas that meet the brief and engage customers.
  • User experience - Understand the customer; employ logical and analytical thinking; demonstrate the importance of consistent customer experience and view each job or channel as part of an overall whole.
  • Presentation skills - Use scamps, mood boards, designs and storyboards to present your work to colleagues and/or business partners.
  • Brand guardianship - Ensure that all work adheres to Ocado brand guidelines.
  • Meet business objectives - Understand what business owners are asking for, and translate that into commercial, powerful, creative solutions. Act in the best interests of Ocado and its customers at all times.

Please ensure you provide a link to your portfolio or attach it along with your CV.

Whilst this role will be working for Ocado Retail, the intention is to have the role in place prior to the creation of the Joint Venture company. This means that relatively soon after joining the successful applicant’s contract will transfer from Ocado Group to Ocado Retail.

 

Equal Opportunity Employer:

Ocado is an equal opportunities employer and as such makes every effort to ensure that all potential employers are treated fairly and equally, regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, marital status, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion, age, disability or union membership status.
