Job description

Our Mission

At Six Stories, we exist to make women feel confident, comfortable and themselves during some of the most emotionally charged moments of their lives. From bridesmaids to brides, from quiet mornings to unforgettable celebrations, everything we create is designed to feel considered, modern and emotionally resonant.

We believe great design isn’t decoration. It’s clarity, restraint, feeling, and commercial impact working together.

The Role

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer with exceptional taste and a strong eye for modern, minimal, fashion-led design. Someone who understands how brand shows up across every touchpoint and who can execute creative that feels elevated, confident and intentional.

This role sits at the heart of our creative output. You’ll be responsible for bringing the Six Stories brand to life visually across ads, email, website, print and social, with the ability to edit video content as part of your day-to-day.

This is not a “just make it pretty” role. We’re looking for someone who understands how design drives emotion, conversion and brand love, balancing creative flair with commercial tenacity.

What You’ll Do

You’ll own and execute creative across the business, including:

• Designing paid ad creative (static and video-led) that feels premium, modern and performance-aware

• Creating email designs that balance brand, clarity and conversion

• Designing website assets, landing pages and on-site creative

• Producing print assets including packaging, inserts, lookbooks and campaign collateral

• Supporting campaign launches with cohesive, multi-channel creative

• Editing video content for ads and social (Reels, TikTok, paid formats)

• Maintaining and evolving our visual brand system with consistency and care

• Working closely with Brand, Marketing and Product to ensure creative aligns with commercial goals

What We’re Looking For

• Strong graphic design experience within fashion, beauty or lifestyle brands

• A modern, minimal aesthetic with strong taste

• Ability to design across multiple formats and channels with consistency

• Comfortable editing video content (paid social, short-form, campaign assets)

• Strong understanding of how creative performs in ads and digital environments

• High attention to detail, typography, spacing and layout

• Ability to move at pace without compromising quality

• Someone who takes ownership and pride in their work

• A natural balance of creative flair and commercial tenacity

Bonus Points If You

• Have experience working closely with paid social teams

• Understand creative testing and iteration for performance

• Have worked in a fast-growing, DTC environment

  Are curious about brand, fashion and culture

Task to Apply (Important)

As part of your application, we’d love to see a small piece of original creative work based on Six Stories. We’re excited to see how you interpret and work with our brand.

Please create one visual that reflects how you’d interpret our brand. This could be:

• Homepage banner

• Paid ad (static or video-led)

• Part of email design

This doesn’t need to be overworked or polished. We’re not looking for perfection, we’re looking for taste, thinking, and instinct, and how you balance creativity with clarity and impact.

Please note:

• This task is for assessment purposes only

• Any work submitted will not be used by Six Stories

• We expect this to be light and proportionate to the role

You’re welcome to include a short explanation of your thinking alongside the visual.

Please submit this via the 'Additional Files' section of the job application form.

Why Join Six Stories

• You’ll work on a brand with deep emotional meaning and a loyal community

• You’ll have real ownership over how the brand shows up visually

• You’ll collaborate with a passionate, ambitious and kind team

• You’ll help shape the next phase of a fast-growing, category-leading brand

Our Vibes

If you associate with these then we want to hear from you:

• We’re scrappy and tenacious - we roll up our sleeves and make things happen.

We put the customer first - their experience guides every decision.
