MailOnline, the world’s largest English-language newspaper website with over 200 million monthly unique visitors globally, is teaming up with one of the largest and fastest-growing players in social media to provide unique and bespoke content for a brand-new platform for mobile devices.

We are looking for an experienced and talented designer to work on this new content stream. The successful candidate will have a knowledge of Adobe CS6 Photoshop but will also be able to use Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro and After Effects. They will have worked closely with editors in a newspaper, weekly magazine or an online news operation so will have an understanding of how headlines and images work together to create the most effective ‘sell’ for the story.
