We're looking for a full-time junior product designer to join our growing development team. You'll be working across the business to help our roster of YouTube clients develop, source, and launch innovative products and merchandise to our client's audiences. You will be a curious learner, accustomed to researching ideas and digging deep for comprehensive and creative solutions. You will have a good knowledge of the manufacturing and design process and how something goes from an idea to a physical product. You'll be passionate about using your design skills to communicate and refine product ideas in the early stages. You will pride yourself on being pragmatic and your perseverance, with a demonstrable passion for working behind the scenes in a creative endeavour. A highly organised individual with strong research skills and an interest in collaborating on new creative projects will be a wonderful fit for the role. The Role What you'll be doing: Speaking with YouTube creators and colleagues in the product and talent department to consider creative opportunities Creating mood boards, gathering research, producing preliminary sketches and illustrations as part of the early design process Supporting the communication, review, and refinement of product concepts with consideration of real world and human factors Supporting the documentation and forecasting of project finances, monitoring budgets, ensuring profitability, and assessing appropriate market pricing Speaking with and researching potential manufacturers, service providers and freelancers to deliver the final product Preparing appropriate briefs and setting requirements with external creatives Delivering and refining project materials where appropriate, i.e. illustrated poster, or packaging net Supporting colleagues in the launch, distribution, and ongoing availability of products and appropriate marketing Updating project trackers and maintaining historic reference materials for ongoing developments We offer a unique working environment, creative atmosphere, and consider personal development of the utmost importance. You will have the option of working entirely remote within the UK, being based at our office in Northampton or a hybrid of the two. We offer all staff 25 days annual leave excluding bank holidays, as well as inclusion in the company's profit share scheme, and our health insurance policy. The Candidate This role will suit someone with an interest in producing a range of consumer-facing products, with a relevant degree in product or graphic design. You'll enjoy having something physical in your hands at the end of the process, but the concept ideation, research, marketing and e-commerce aspects are all an appealing and exciting part of the process that you'll look forward to for each project. You will want to help our creators go beyond a hoody with their logo on it. You are familiar with communicating three-dimensionally through sketching, but can also hold your own while producing budgets, briefs, and other administrative reports. At the very least, you can tell when someone's project settings are set up in RGB rather than CMYK. Conversely, this role will not be a good fit if you spend hours ensuring your high-fidelity renders are perfect. Whilst you will work closely with our other in-house product designer, most of your colleagues will not be versed in design. You must feel comfortable communicating internally and conveying design principles, manufacturing terminology, fulfilment models, and other relevant information with non-experts. You will also develop your own relationships with suppliers and talent, and you will be confident speaking with even the best-known creators. You will be disciplined and methodical in the creative process, have a broad and entrepreneurial approach, and not be wedded to any one visual language or design style. A chance to join a small, but scrappy product team excites you. The Company Ziggurat XYZ represents emerging and established names in digital media, providing a bespoke management service to YouTube creators as they grow and develop their audience, content, and businesses. We are the first agency in our industry to be recognised with a King's Awards for Enterprise. This year, we earned the International Trade award for outstanding growth in overseas income thanks to our diverse and global roster. Our team are a burgeoning gang of specialists. They are trusted advisors and industry experts to our clients and our office in Northampton acts as a vibrant hub of global activity. The building is a renovated Victorian brewery off of Northampton's Creative Quarter. Our product clients are all YouTube creators of one genre or another, and we work carefully to co-create products they can be proud to bring to their keen and curious audiences. We've delighted in flipping through the pages of an original comic book by Ordinary Things , discovered our historical girl style with Uncarley , studiously carved out craft knives with Bobby Duke Arts , scratched our way through Rowan Ellis's movie print, and repeatedly shuffled through The Deck of Many Colours from Ninjon . And still all we can think about is 'What's next?' Our office is 10 minutes' walk from Northampton Rail Station, with connections up and down the Midland Mainline - 56 minutes from London Euston, 59 minutes from Birmingham New Street, and 15 minutes from Milton Keynes. It is also only 10 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. Applying If the above sounds like you - and you like the sound of us - please apply with your CV, covering letter and link to your portfolio at Applications for this vacancy will be considered on an ongoing basis, but you might not receive an update on the status of your application until after the listing has closed. The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd January 2026.

You will have the option of working entirely remote within the UK, being based at our office in Northampton or a hybrid of the two. We offer all staff 25 days annual leave excluding bank holidays, as well as inclusion in the company's profit share scheme, and our health insurance policy. The Candidate This role will suit someone with an interest in producing a range of consumer-facing products, with a relevant degree in product or graphic design. You'll enjoy having something physical in your hands at the end of the process, but the concept ideation, research, marketing and e-commerce aspects are all an appealing and exciting part of the process that you'll look forward to for each project. You will want to help our creators go beyond a hoody with their logo on it. You are familiar with communicating three-dimensionally through sketching, but can also hold your own while producing budgets, briefs, and other administrative reports. At the very least, you can tell when someone's project settings are set up in RGB rather than CMYK. Conversely, this role will not be a good fit if you spend hours ensuring your high-fidelity renders are perfect. Whilst you will work closely with our other in-house product designer, most of your colleagues will not be versed in design. You must feel comfortable communicating internally and conveying design principles, manufacturing terminology, fulfilment models, and other relevant information with non-experts. You will also develop your own relationships with suppliers and talent, and you will be confident speaking with even the best-known creators. You will be disciplined and methodical in the creative process, have a broad and entrepreneurial approach, and not be wedded to any one visual language or design style. A chance to join a small, but scrappy product team excites you. The Company Ziggurat XYZ represents emerging and established names in digital media, providing a bespoke management service to YouTube creators as they grow and develop their audience, content, and businesses. We are the first agency in our industry to be recognised with a King's Awards for Enterprise. This year, we earned the International Trade award for outstanding growth in overseas income thanks to our diverse and global roster. Our team are a burgeoning gang of specialists. They are trusted advisors and industry experts to our clients and our office in Northampton acts as a vibrant hub of global activity. The building is a renovated Victorian brewery off of Northampton's Creative Quarter. Our product clients are all YouTube creators of one genre or another, and we work carefully to co-create products they can be proud to bring to their keen and curious audiences. We've delighted in flipping through the pages of an original comic book by Ordinary Things , discovered our historical girl style with Uncarley , studiously carved out craft knives with Bobby Duke Arts , scratched our way through Rowan Ellis's movie print, and repeatedly shuffled through The Deck of Many Colours from Ninjon . And still all we can think about is 'What's next?' Our office is 10 minutes' walk from Northampton Rail Station, with connections up and down the Midland Mainline - 56 minutes from London Euston, 59 minutes from Birmingham New Street, and 15 minutes from Milton Keynes. It is also only 10 minutes from Junction 15 of the M1. Applying If the above sounds like you - and you like the sound of us - please apply with your CV, covering letter and link to your portfolio at Applications for this vacancy will be considered on an ongoing basis, but you might not receive an update on the status of your application until after the listing has closed. The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd January 2026.
