1What this role really is

Honestly, this role is where you cut your teeth in the real world of international marketing design. You'll be the person making sure all our shiny campaigns look right, no matter where they're seen. Think of it as being the guardian of our visual brand, but with lots of guidance. You'll be working with existing templates and assets, making sure everything is pixel-perfect and culturally appropriate for different countries. It's a hands-on role where you'll learn the ropes from experienced designers.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Adobe PhotoshopIntermediate

Resizing, basic photo retouching, colour correction, exporting assets for web and social media. You'll use it to adapt existing campaign imagery.

Adobe IllustratorIntermediate

Working with vector graphics, adapting logos, creating simple icons, editing existing illustrations. You'll use it for scalable brand elements.

Adobe InDesignBasic

Adapting multi-page layouts for brochures, reports, or presentations by swapping text and images within existing templates. Less creation, more adaptation.

FigmaBasic

Navigating existing design files, exporting assets, making minor text or image swaps within components from our design system. You'll use it for digital campaign assets.

Asana / Monday.comIntermediate

Updating task statuses, attaching completed files, commenting on project progress, and following project timelines set by your manager. This is how we keep track of everything.

Bynder / Canto (DAM)Basic

Locating and downloading existing brand assets, uploading your completed designs, and ensuring they're tagged correctly so others can find them. It's our central library.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Design Tool SelectionUse specified tools (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma) as directed by Senior Designer.Choose appropriate tools for routine tasks within established parameters.Recommend and justify new tools or software features for team adoption.
Brand Guideline InterpretationFollow guidelines strictly; escalate any ambiguities or potential deviations to Senior Designer.Interpret guidelines for standard adaptations; consult on complex edge cases.Define and refine brand guideline interpretations for new formats or challenging regional requests.
Project PrioritisationWork on tasks as assigned by Senior Designer; flag any potential deadline conflicts immediately.Prioritise your own workload for routine projects; consult manager on conflicting 'urgent' requests.Manage multiple project timelines and priorities, making trade-off recommendations to Marketing Leads.
Cultural Adaptation ChoicesExecute adaptations based on specific instructions from Regional Marketing or Senior Designer.Propose minor cultural adaptations (e.g., image swaps) for review.Lead the conceptualisation of culturally sensitive adaptations, working with regional teams to validate.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Asset Turnaround Time
How quickly you complete standard asset requests, like resizing images or adapting existing layouts.
Target · 90% of requests completed within 48 hours.

If a regional manager asks for a social media banner adaptation on Monday, it should be ready by Wednesday, unless it's a huge job we've agreed takes longer.

Rework Rate (Errors)
The percentage of your work that needs to be redone because of errors you made (e.g., wrong font, incorrect colour, misaligned element, cultural faux pas).
Target · Below 15% rework rate due to errors after initial review.

If you adapt 20 assets in a month and only 2 needed corrections because you used the wrong brand blue, that's a 10% rework rate – pretty good for a junior.

Throughput of Adapted Assets
The sheer volume of individual assets you successfully adapt, localise, or create from templates.
Target · Average of 25+ localised/adapted assets per week.

This could mean 5 different social media ads adapted for 5 different countries, or resizing one key visual for 25 different placements.

Adherence to Brand Guidelines
How well your designs stick to our global brand rules (fonts, colours, logo usage, imagery style).
  • Your manager rarely has to point out brand guideline breaches. You proactively ask questions if you're unsure. You can explain *why* certain guidelines exist when asked. Designs are consistently on-brand across different markets.
Proactive Learning & Asking Questions
Your willingness to learn new tools, processes, and cultural nuances, and to ask for help when you're stuck.
  • You're taking notes during training. You seek out tutorials for new software features. You ask specific, thoughtful questions rather than just saying 'I don't know'. You bring potential solutions when you ask for help. You don't make the same mistake twice.
Organisation of Files & Projects
How tidy and logical your project files and digital assets are, making it easy for others to pick up your work.
  • Your working files are clearly named and organised in our DAM (Bynder/Canto). You use layers and groups effectively in Adobe/Figma. Other designers can easily find and understand your files without needing to ask you.
Cultural Sensitivity in Adaptations
Your ability to ensure designs are appropriate and effective for specific international markets, avoiding unintended meanings or negative associations.
  • You flag potential cultural issues in imagery or colour choices before they become a problem. You actively research cultural preferences for new markets. Regional marketing managers give positive feedback on your adaptations' local relevance.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Work Live

You get a real kick out of seeing a social media ad you designed go live in France, or a brochure you adapted appearing at a trade show in Singapore. You're always checking our channels to see your designs in action.

You'll proudly share a screenshot of a campaign you worked on that's now running in multiple countries, even if it was just a small part of it.

Learning & Skill Development

You're always asking 'how does that work?' or 'can you show me how you did that?' You're keen to master new software features, understand different design principles, and soak up knowledge from the senior designers around you.

You're the first to volunteer for a new software training session or to try out a new feature in Figma, always looking to improve your craft.

Contributing to a Global Brand

You understand that even small design tasks contribute to a larger, international brand presence. You feel a sense of responsibility for how our brand is perceived worldwide and enjoy the challenge of making it consistent.

You take pride in ensuring that the brand guidelines are followed meticulously, knowing it helps build a strong, unified global image.

What frustrates people
  • The '5-Minute Tweak': Getting an 'urgent' request that a stakeholder thinks is a tiny change, but actually requires re-working multiple linked files and takes hours.
  • Subjective Feedback Loops: Getting stuck in endless revisions based on conflicting, vague opinions from a committee of non-designers.
  • Low-Quality Inputs: Being asked to create a high-resolution poster using a blurry 72dpi logo the client ripped from their own website.
  • Version Control Nightmares: Chasing down which version is the 'final' one when stakeholders are emailing 'Campaign_Ad_Final_v3_USE_THIS_ONE_Johns_Edits.psd' around.
  • Explaining Technical Constraints: Having to repeatedly explain why you can't just 'put the whole brochure into an email' or why a print design can't be used for a web banner without significant rework.
What this role does not give you
  • Full creative freedom to design from a blank canvas every day.
  • A quiet, uninterrupted environment where you can focus solely on design without constant requests.
  • Immediate recognition for groundbreaking, innovative concepts (your impact is more about consistency and accuracy at this level).
  • A role where you only work on one project at a time from start to finish.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the visual consistency and cultural relevance of our global marketing efforts. Your work ensures that our brand looks professional and appropriate in every market we operate in. Get it right, and our brand feels cohesive and trustworthy worldwide; get it wrong, and we risk looking amateurish or, worse, culturally insensitive, which can really hurt our brand perception and campaign effectiveness in specific regions.

Inside the business
  • Senior International Graphic Designer (your direct manager)
  • Regional Marketing Managers (who need assets for their markets)
  • Content Marketing Team (who write the copy you'll design around)
  • Digital Marketing Specialists (who run the ads you create)
Outside the business
  • Translation Agencies (who provide the text for your designs)
  • Print Vendors (who produce physical materials)
  • External Photography/Illustration Agencies (occasionally, for asset sourcing)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A portfolio showcasing your graphic design skills, even if it's student work or personal projects. We need to see what you can do.
  • A foundational understanding of graphic design principles (e.g., colour theory, typography, layout, composition).
  • Proficiency with at least two core Adobe Creative Cloud applications (e.g., Photoshop and Illustrator).
  • A genuine interest in international cultures and how design can adapt across different regions.
  • The ability to take constructive feedback and iterate on designs without ego.
  • Strong organisational skills, especially with digital files and project management.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Figma Component & Auto-Layout Use

As our digital design system grows, mastering Figma's component system and auto-layout features will be crucial. This allows for rapid, consistent design updates across hundreds of assets, especially for international variations. It's about working smarter, not harder, to keep up with demand.

Nested Components · Variants & Properties · Auto-Layout Mastery · Design System Contribution

  • This month: Complete Figma's official tutorials on Components and Auto-Layout.
  • Next month: Recreate 3-5 of our existing digital banners using nested components and auto-layout to make them easily adaptable.
  • Month 3: Experiment with creating your own small design system in Figma for a personal project, focusing on reusability.
  • Ongoing: Review how our senior designers use Figma components and ask questions about their workflow.

Quick win: When adapting a digital banner for a new language, try to use auto-layout to handle text expansion automatically. It'll save you a lot of manual resizing.

Scripting & Automation for Adobe Creative Suite

Many repetitive tasks in Photoshop or Illustrator (like batch resizing, exporting multiple formats, or applying specific effects) can be automated using scripts or actions. Learning to set these up, even basic ones, can dramatically cut down on tedious work and free you up for more creative tasks. It's about optimising your workflow.

Adobe Actions · Batch Processing · Basic Scripting (JavaScript for Adobe) · File Renaming & Organisation Scripts

  • This month: Learn how to record and play back simple actions in Photoshop (e.g., resizing and saving for web).
  • Next month: Identify one repetitive task you do regularly and try to automate it using an Adobe Action and batch processing.
  • Month 3: Research online for existing free scripts for common design tasks and learn how to install and use them.
  • Ongoing: Look for opportunities in your daily work where you're doing the same thing more than three times – that's a sign it could be automated.

Quick win: Create an action in Photoshop to automatically save a web-optimised version of an image in two different sizes. You'll use it constantly.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly review design blogs, industry publications (e.g., Creative Review, Brand New), and online portfolios (e.g., Behance, Dribbble) to stay current with trends.
  • Take online courses or tutorials to deepen your skills in specific Adobe tools or to learn new software like Figma.
  • Attend webinars or virtual workshops on topics like international design, cultural sensitivity in marketing, or accessibility.
  • Seek out feedback from senior designers and actively apply their advice to your work. Don't be afraid to ask 'why?'.
  • Build a strong personal portfolio that showcases your best work and demonstrates your ability to adapt designs for different contexts.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Basic Prompt Engineering for Visuals

AI image generators (like Midjourney or Adobe Firefly) are becoming incredibly powerful. Knowing how to 'talk' to them effectively means you can quickly generate mood boards, concept variations, or even background elements, saving hours of manual work. Competitors are already using this to speed up their creative process.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Junior International Graphic Design Assistant is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, some parts of graphic design, especially at the junior level, can be a bit repetitive. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work to AI? Imagine spending less time on tedious tasks and more time actually designing and learning. That's exactly what our AI Productivity Hub aims to help you do.

We're not talking about AI replacing designers; we're talking about AI making *you* a more efficient, more creative designer. For an International Graphic Design Assistant, AI can handle the boring bits, allowing you to focus on the nuanced cultural adaptations and the actual creative problem-solving. It's about getting your designs out faster and with fewer headaches.

Asset Generation & Variation

Use AI tools like Adobe Firefly to quickly generate initial concepts or background imagery. Then, use generative fill and resize tools to rapidly create dozens of variations of a core ad for different social platforms and display sizes. This means less manual cropping and more time on the actual design.

Predictive Visual Analysis

Before launching a campaign, run your key visuals through AI-powered attention heatmap tools (like Neurons Inc). This predicts where users will look, helping you ensure the call-to-action and key message are in optimal positions before we spend a penny on media. It's like having a crystal ball for design effectiveness.

Mood Board & Concept Creation

Instead of spending hours sifting through Pinterest or Behance, use a text prompt in an AI image generator (e.g., 'Minimalist skincare ad for the Japanese market, featuring cherry blossoms and clean water elements') to instantly create a mood board with multiple visual directions. It's a massive shortcut to finding inspiration.

Microcopy & Annotation Drafting

After finalising a design, use an AI assistant like ChatGPT to draft short-form copy (headlines, social media captions) that matches the visual tone. You can also use it to quickly write annotations for design presentations, explaining the rationale behind your choices. It's a great way to overcome writer's block for those little bits of text.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Junior International Graphic Design Assistant, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Junior International Graphic Design Assistant: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here – especially in international brand governance, digital asset management, and cross-cultural design adaptation – are highly transferable. You could move into agencies specialising in global brands, in-house creative teams at other multinational companies (e.g., retail, tech, FMCG), or even specialise in localisation services. The world is your oyster, visually speaking.
