MCQUEEN Visual Designer

Alexander McQueen is a British luxury fashion House founded by Lee Alexander McQueen in London in 1992. From its inception, Alexander McQueen has been defined by its expression of individuality and subversive strength. Rooted in Lee Alexander McQueen's training on Savile Row, the House pushes the boundaries of British tailoring traditions, emphasising cut, proportion and silhouette. Inspiration is often drawn from nature, British heritage and contemporary culture, with distinct narrative woven throughout the House's collections and fashion shows. Alexander McQueen became renowned for a theatrical and innovative approach, with shows that were emotionally impactful and often provocative, creating a sense of spectacle. Today, with a design studio and atelier based in London, the House upholds its foundational values, known for its uncompromising creative vision and incisive tailoring.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail focused, ambitious Visual Designer to join McQueen. Reporting directly to the Image Director, this solo role will be pivotal in ensuring consistency and excellence across every brand touchpoint — from in-store signage, still and moving image crops, through to show invitation print management.

This position is ideal for a designer who thrives in a dynamic environment, has a keen eye for detail, knowledge of luxury processes, who is eager to learn, stretch and contribute across cross functional teams and wide breadth of outputs. With exposure to both in-house and agency collaboration, the role offers the space to grow with the brand.

How will you contribute?

• Deliver high-quality graphic design outputs across multiple platforms and touchpoints, ensuring alignment with the McQueen brand image.
• Retouch, crop, and adapt creative assets for use across digital, print, in-store, and campaign materials.
• Oversee, brief, and quality-check external agency outputs.
• Ensure creative consistency and attention to detail across all channels and every touchpoint.
• Support the development of campaign visuals and assets with a hands-on, solutions-oriented mindset.
• Working alongside the creative teams and external agencies to act as a brand guardian, ensuring visual standards are upheld while embracing new creative directions.
• Manage multiple cross functional projects simultaneously, balancing speed with quality.
• Coordinate with print shops, packaging vendors, and manufacturers to review physical proofs, select paper stocks/finishes, ensure colour accuracy and high standards are met.

Required Skills:

• You will be able to demonstrate the desired McQueen behaviours.
• A detail focused designer with previous experience in a fast-paced design role (luxury, fashion, or creative agency background preferred).
• Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign; motion or 3D skills a plus).
• Exceptional eye for detail, layout, and typography.
• Comfortable working independently, yet highly collaborative when projects require agency or cross-team input.
• Agile and adaptable — able to pivot quickly, roll up sleeves, and deliver under tight deadlines.
• A natural problem-solver with strong visual storytelling skills.
