About Us AnalogFolk is an independent next generation creative company, and for 18 years has partnered with bold and ambitious brands to deliver creative and innovative solutions to help drive brand growth. Our client portfolio includes Costa, Perk, Meta, HSBC, L’Oreal, Galderma and Diageo. Our team is split between London and the US, and totals 60 people.   Role Overview We’re looking for a Midweight Designer to join the design team at AnalogFolk. We’re a small, ambitious team of designers working alongside creatives, strategists, technologists and clients to make work that gets noticed. You’ll work across some of the world’s biggest and most interesting brands, taking ideas from the first sketch through to the final execution that goes out into the world. We’re looking for someone who wants to think, make, experiment and own things. Someone with a strong creative instinct, a curious mind and the confidence to get stuck into a brief and figure out where it could go.   What you’ll do You’ll take ownership of your own projects, working from brief through to final delivery. That means you’ll be involved in the whole creative process: understanding the problem, generating ideas, exploring different routes, developing the strongest one and making the final work brilliant. You’ll work across a broad mix of projects and formats; from campaign ideas and digital experiences to social content, moving image and creating brand worlds. You’ll work closely with our creative team throughout. Sometimes you’ll be developing a design in response to a creative idea; sometimes you’ll be bringing the idea yourself. Either way, we want designers who see collaboration as a way to make the work better. You’ll also help us keep pushing how we make things. That could mean experimenting with AI, new digital tools, generative technology, motion, emerging formats or simply finding a smarter way to solve a familiar problem.   What we’re looking for A creative problem solver You don’t just make things look good. You’re interested in the thinking behind them. You can take a brief and find an unexpected way into it. You’re naturally curious and enjoy exploring. You’ll generate multiple routes, test ideas, throw things away and start again when you need to. You’re not precious about the first solution. A designer with range We’re looking for a generalist rather than a specialist. Someone who can move between different types of work and genuinely enjoys doing so. You might be designing a campaign one day, building out a social idea the next, then jumping into Figma, After Effects or an AI tool to figure out how something could work. We don’t expect you to be an expert at everything. We do want you to be interested in learning anything that helps you make better work. Someone ready to own their work At AnalogFolk, everyone gets real responsibility. So we’re looking for someone who is comfortable taking a brief, figuring things out, asking the right questions, communicating clearly and seeing a piece of work through to the end, with the support from the senior team around them. A brilliant collaborator This is a small team, and we work closely with our creative department, so being good to work with is essential. You’ll need to be generous with ideas, open to feedback and confident enough to challenge things when you think there’s a better answer. We care about the work more than who had the original idea. No egos. Just better work. Someone with a bit of get-up-and-go We like people who notice things and do something about them. You might spot a new tool worth trying, bring an interesting reference into a creative review, teach yourself a new technique, question a brief or suggest a completely different way of approaching a problem. You need to be curious, proactive and hungry to make things happen.   Your toolkit You should be confident working with: Adobe Creative Suit; Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign After Effects and basic animation/motion Figma Video editing for social and digital content AI and generative tools, with a genuine interest in where they’re going next   Experience 2+ years of professional design experience, ideally in an agency, studio or similarly creative environment. This could be the perfect next step for a junior designer who’s ready to take on more responsibility and start owning projects. We care much more about the quality of your thinking and your portfolio than where you’ve worked or what your job title has been.   You will be able to show us work that demonstrates: Strong conceptual thinking A distinctive creative point of view Excellent graphic and digital design craft Curiosity and experimentation Range across different formats and disciplines The ability to take an idea from concept through to execution Work you’re genuinely proud of, and can talk us through   What we look for Everyone brings their individual skills to AnalogFolk, however, there are five values which we are proud to have and look for in all new our recruits: Stay Restless – Always strive for better to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Expect Remarkable – Go beyond the expected to create something worthy of remark. Accept nothing less. Make Change – In everything you do, find a way to make a positive impact. Do Good – Don’t talk about ideas that create progress. Make them. If something isn’t working, be the agent of change. Be You – Bring all of yourself and make this place your own. In return, welcome all others.

The role We’re looking for an Art Director to join our Brand team and take ownership of campaigns and ecommerce photography from brief to delivery. This is a hands-on creative role. You’ll be the person driving our visual output, working closely with the VP of Brand Marketing and collaborating with a small in-house creative team, including a Creative Producer who’ll handle the logistics so you can stay focused on the work. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to hand briefs over a wall. You’ll be across every stage of the creative process: concept, direction, shoot, and post.

Ask whether it’s good enough. Have the conviction to say when it isn’t.   The ecommerce photography library Our website is our flagship store. For most of our customers, it’s the only Spoke they’ll ever walk into. That makes our product photography as creatively important as anything else we produce, and we treat it that way. Consistency, craft, and a genuinely considered approach to how each garment is lit, styled, and shot. These aren’t nice-to-haves. They’re the job. Art direct ecommerce shoots with the same rigour you’d bring to campaign work, because our customers don’t distinguish between them Build and maintain a clear visual language for product photography: lighting, styling, composition, mood Work closely with photographers and stylists to deliver a library that’s consistent at scale, not just beautiful in isolation Review selects with a sharp eye, ensuring every image earns its place   Team and collaboration Work closely with the Lead Digital Designer and copywriter to align campaign creative with channel execution Feed briefs and assets to the wider team in a way that sets them up to do their best work Contribute to building a creative culture defined by our brand values: substance, ease, and wit   Requirements What we’re looking for 3–5 years of art direction experience, ideally in-house at a fashion or lifestyle brand (agency background considered) A strong portfolio demonstrating campaign concepting and ecommerce or product photography direction Sharp visual instincts and a clear point of view. You know what good looks like and you won’t let it slide The energy and stamina to deliver great work at volume, not just on hero campaigns Organised and proactive, with the ability to stay calm when deadlines stack up A collaborator who communicates clearly and works well in a small, focused team Comfortable in a fast-moving DTC environment where priorities can shift   Nice to have Experience directing menswear or tailoring shoots A genuine passion for menswear Familiarity with ecommerce image standards and post-production workflows Exposure to motion or video direction   Benefits Private Healthcare Plan Pension Plans Work From Home Training & Development

Brighton | Full-time, 9am-6pm | Studio-based | £26,000–£28,000 | Graduate / Junior Hollywood Secret Service is looking for a talented Junior Creative Designer & Visual Researcher to join our growing creative studio in central Brighton. We create treatments and pitch presentations for directors and production companies working across international advertising, film and entertainment. Our projects have included work for brands such as Apple, Adidas, Meta, Samsung, Mercedes-Benz, Nintendo, Coca-Cola, Netflix, Canva, Fortnite, Tinder, YouTube and Logitech. We’re looking for someone at the beginning of their career with great visual instincts, strong design fundamentals and bags of potential. You might be a recent graphic design graduate, or have already spent a year or two working in the industry. Either way, we don’t expect you to arrive knowing everything. We’re much more interested in your taste, ideas, curiosity, attention to detail and ability to learn quickly.     About Hollywood Secret Service Hollywood Secret Service is a specialist creative studio working in the pre-production space of the TV commercial production industry. We work with directors and production companies around the world, helping transform ideas, scripts and creative briefs into beautifully designed visual treatments that help them communicate their vision when pitching for work. That means combining graphic design, visual research, photography, film, typography, storytelling and world-building—often delivering a finished presentation within just a few days. We’re a small, busy team, so this isn’t a role where you’ll spend your first year sitting on the sidelines. You’ll work alongside experienced creatives, contribute to real projects and see how work develops from the first conversation through to final delivery. You’ll get unusually close to the creative process early in your career and see a huge variety of briefs, directors, visual styles and ideas.   The role At the heart of this role are two things: finding exceptional visual references and ideas, and presenting them effectively. You’ll work closely with our creative team to interpret briefs, discover brilliant visual references and turn ideas into compelling, beautifully designed presentations. One day you might be researching cinematic night photography for a car commercial; the next you could be exploring authentic casting references in New York, extraordinary rainforest locations, a specific camera technique, or the visual world for a comedy, fashion or technology film. You’ll then help bring those ideas together through typography, layout and imagery. It’s varied, creative and often fast-moving.   What you’ll be doing       Visual research Interpret scripts, briefs and creative conversations. Find high-quality stills, video, GIFs and other visual references. Explore references for casting, locations, lighting, styling, composition, cinematography and camera language. Develop visual worlds that communicate a director’s ideas. Recognise the difference between an image that’s simply relevant and one that’s genuinely brilliant. Curate large volumes of imagery into clear, considered selections. Keep sources and project assets organised.     Treatment design Design visually compelling pitch presentations and treatments. Work confidently with typography, layout, imagery and visual hierarchy. Build and refine presentations primarily in Adobe InDesign. Edit and prepare imagery in Photoshop. Think about pacing and image sequencing across long-form documents. Use design and layout to strengthen the director’s ideas rather than simply decorate them. Respond quickly and accurately to creative feedback. Maintain a consistently high visual standard across detailed presentations. Quality-check copy, imagery, layouts, links and exports before delivery. Maintain exceptionally organised working files.     Creative Development As your experience grows, you’ll also have opportunities to: Contribute ideas and references to creative discussions. Explore new approaches to treatments and digital presentations. Experiment with emerging creative and AI tools. Contribute to HSS’s website, portfolio, branding and creative output. Develop skills across areas such as motion, digital design and interactive work. As you develop, take ownership of sections and eventually entire projects.     What we’re looking for We’re interested in potential as much as experience. You may be finishing university, have recently graduated or already be working in your first creative role. We’re looking for someone who is visually curious — someone who notices things, looks beyond the obvious and genuinely enjoys discovering brilliant creative work. We’re looking for someone with: A strong portfolio showing excellent layout, typography and visual thinking. Strong visual judgement and an instinct for what makes an image interesting. Good working knowledge of Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. The ability to work quickly without losing attention to detail. A genuine interest in design, photography, film, advertising and visual culture. Curiosity and a desire to keep discovering new references, ideas and creative approaches. Excellent attention to detail. An organised and methodical approach to files, assets and deadlines. The confidence to ask questions when something isn’t clear. The ability to take feedback positively and apply it quickly. Reliability and a collaborative approach to working with others. Comfort working in an environment where deadlines, priorities and creative direction can sometimes change quickly. Full authorisation to work in the UK. University, personal and self-initiated projects are absolutely welcome. We’re interested in the quality of your thinking and creative potential, not simply how many commercial projects you’ve already worked on.     Useful but not essential Experience with any of the following would be a bonus: Illustrator Figma After Effects or Premiere Pro Keynote or PowerPoint Motion design or video editing Web or interactive design Branding AI-assisted image generation You absolutely don’t need to know everything on this list. Strong design fundamentals, visual taste and the ability to learn matter much more to us.   What we offer £26,000–£28,000 salary, depending on experience. Hands-on experience working across international advertising, film and production. The opportunity to contribute to major creative projects early in your career. Close support, mentoring and feedback from experienced creatives. Genuine opportunities to develop your skills and take on greater creative responsibility. Annual salary review. 28 days’ paid annual leave, including UK bank holidays. Workplace pension contributions. Cultural allowance towards exhibitions, cinema, books, magazines, events or other creative inspiration. Cycle-to-work scheme. Team lunches, drinks and socials. £1,000 loyalty bonus after three years. A central Brighton studio close to the sea.     Working at Hollywood We’re a small studio and we work closely together. Our projects often move very quickly, so you’ll need to enjoy working at pace, taking feedback and solving creative problems collaboratively. In return, you’ll get unusually hands-on experience early in your career, working on a high volume of exciting, high-end international projects for some of the world’s biggest brands. As part of a small, experienced creative team, you’ll work closely with senior designers, receive regular feedback and quickly build your skills, taste and confidence — with opportunities to take on greater creative responsibility and increasingly lead your own projects as you progress. We’ll encourage you to stay creatively curious, with opportunities to explore new tools and disciplines alongside a cultural allowance for inspiration outside the studio. And you’ll do it all from our central Brighton studio, close to the sea, as part of a close-knit team where you’ll have a voice and play a genuine part in where Hollywood Secret Service goes next.     How to apply Please send to emma@hollywoodsecretservice.com: Your portfolio Your CV A short introduction telling us why this particular role interests you     Your portfolio matters most. We’re particularly interested in seeing: Ideas. Layout. Visual judgement. Typography. Image selection. Storytelling. We’d rather see a small amount of brilliant work that you’re genuinely proud of than a huge portfolio. For collaborative projects, please tell us which elements you personally created. We’re not looking for a particular portfolio style. We want to understand how you see, how you think and what excites you creatively. Shortlisted candidates will receive full details of our selection process before being asked to take part.     Inclusion Hollywood Secret Service is committed to creating an inclusive workplace and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds. We recruit based on creative ability, potential and suitability for the role. If you require reasonable adjustments during the application or selection process, please let us know.

Job Description Who this is for An early-career engineering role inside Operate, our managed service. Security or observability background — either is welcome.  You have been working for eighteen months to three years in a hands-on technical role — a platform team, a SOC or security engineering team, an MSP or MSSP, an infrastructure or DevOps team, a vendor’s support or professional services desk — and you are looking for your first move. You have had your hands on something that runs in production and matters to somebody. You want to go deeper, faster, in a smaller business where the work you do is seen. This is not a graduate scheme and it is not a helpdesk. It is a real engineering seat with real customers, real supervision and a clear path up.   The Role  This is a hands-on engineering role inside Operate, our managed service. You will help run customer telemetry platforms day to day, improve them, and contribute to the platform that lets us run them well. You will do this as part of a small engineering pool, with a senior engineer checking your work before it reaches a customer and a line manager who is accountable for your development.  Operate has two shapes and you will work in both.  Operate Core is always-on. It is continuous ownership of a customer’s platform — health, ingestion, data quality, alerting, upgrades, capacity. There is no handover and no final deliverable. The platform is ours to keep healthy for as long as the customer is ours. Success is measured in the absence of surprises and in the platform being demonstrably better in six months than it is today.  Operate Attach is sprint-based improvement. A customer has a defined problem — noisy alerts, a data source that will not normalise, ingest costs running away, a detection gap, a migration — and we take a scoped block of work and fix it. Attach has a start, a shape and an end. It sits on top of Core, for the same customers, with the same engineers.  Alongside that you will take a share of professional services delivery: shorter, project-shaped engagements that are usually how a customer first meets us.  What You’ll do Everything below is done with supervision at first and with increasing independence as you show you can carry it. We will be explicit with you about where that line is and how it moves.  Day-to-day health of customer platforms. Ingestion pipelines, data quality, alerting, licensing and capacity, upgrades and patching. You will start by owning a slice of a named customer estate, and you will be expected to notice problems before the customer does.  Incident and problem work. Triage, diagnosis and resolution — and then the harder part, which is the root cause and the permanent fix so it does not come back.  Content and configuration. Detections, dashboards, parsers, normalisation, alert rules, pipeline routing — built properly, peer reviewed, version controlled, documented.  Attach sprints and PS work. Taking a defined piece of a scoped improvement, delivering it, and being able to show what changed.  Automation. If you do something manually three times, we expect you to want to automate the fourth. Most of our platform tooling started as an engineer being annoyed by something.  Documentation and runbooks. Your own, to a standard, every time. Undocumented work is unfinished work.    What this role is NOT  Being clear about this matters as much as the role definition itself.  It is not a SOC analyst seat. You are not sitting in a queue triaging alerts against someone else’s runbook. You help build and run the platform that the analysts depend on.  It is not a service desk or first-line support role. You will talk to customers about technical matters, but the work is engineering, not ticket handling.  It is not a data science role. We work with very large volumes of machine data, but the work is systems and operations engineering, not modelling or statistics. Python and dashboards are not the same thing as running a platform.  It is not a graduate scheme. We paused our graduate hire to open this role instead, because we want someone who has already spent time in a production environment and knows what it feels like when something breaks at an awkward hour.  It is not a project role with a finish line. Core has no end date. If what you enjoy is shipping a thing and walking away, you will find the continuous half of this job frustrating.    Who we are looking for We are indifferent to whether your background is security or observability. Either one is a good starting point, and the interesting work at Apto sits where the two meet — the same telemetry usually has to serve both a security question and an operational one. What we need is depth in one and genuine curiosity about the other   Experience we’re looking for Roughly eighteen months to three years in a hands-on technical role. We care much more about what you have actually done than about the number of months attached to it, and we know that at this stage most of what you have done was somebody else’s decision. That is fine. We are looking for the shape of it.  You have had your hands on a telemetry, SIEM, observability or monitoring platform that was running in production — not only in a course or a home lab. You have onboarded a data source, tuned an alert, applied an upgrade, or been the person who had to work out why the data stopped arriving.  You have carried something over time rather than only delivering a task and moving on — a set of alerts you looked after, a customer estate you knew well, an on-call rotation, a service that was yours to keep healthy.  You are comfortable in Linux, in at least one query language, and you have written scripts that did something useful. Python is what we mostly use; anything credible is a fine starting point.  You have automated or fixed something real and you can show it. A script, a repo, a before-and-after number, a description concrete enough for us to ask sensible questions about.  You can write. A clear runbook, a readable incident note, a straight message to a customer. This is a customer-facing role.  You have worked in at least one of our vendor families — Splunk, Cribl, Sentinel, Grafana, Datadog, Elastic, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry — or a close analogue. The specific product is negotiable. Real exposure is not.  If you meet most of this and not all of it, apply anyway and tell us which parts you do not have. We would rather read an honest gap than a padded CV.    The platform work – why this is interesting Most managed service jobs are the same job with a different logo on the ticketing system. This one is not, because we are building our own platform underneath the service and you will work on it. We have replaced a vendor-licensed telemetry backend with an open-source stack we run ourselves. A base platform (secret  ;-)) On top of that sits multi-vendor collection — the pattern that lets us onboard a Splunk, a Cribl or a Sentinel customer without rebuilding it from scratch each time. Beyond that, the vendors are all shipping AI and agentic layers — MCP servers, agentic investigation, cross-vendor gateways — and we already have that work live with a customer. You will get early, hands-on exposure to it while most of the industry is still writing slide decks about it.    Occupations Systems-Process Engineering, Computer-Network Security, Enterprise Software Implementation & Consulting, General-Other: IT-Software Development, Security Intelligence & Analysis Salary £35000 to £42000 depending on capability
