An exciting and unique opportunity to work with a start-up garden design and plants business, following investment from Dragon’s Den. Initially the role is as a part-time freelancer, but there is scope for a permanent role in future as we grow.
Dig was set up by a team of four friends to deliver off-the-shelf and semi-bespoke garden designs via an online platform. We target a young and time-poor demographic, who are often creating a garden for the first time. We are looking for a tech-savvy and enthusiastic garden designer to join our team, and help us in our mission to make it easier for people to create beautiful gardens.
This role would be suited to newly qualified designers, designers still in training, or those looking for an exciting change in direction.

Role and responsibilities:
● Interpret client briefs and manage client relationships
● Create, edit and personalise planting plants with the assistance of pre-planned templates, and with oversight from our lead designer
● Source plants from our network of partner nurseries, including managing orders, delivery schedules and substitutions
● Attending client sites and acting as the face of the brand
● Managing finances, including reconciliation of planting budgets
● Future potential involvement in business development, including content creation, website development, marketing and PR
Skills required:
● Recognised garden design qualification (can still be in training)
● Passion for plants and design, with good core plant knowledge
● Strong technical skills, including Photoshop, InDesign, Vectorworks, Sketch up and Google Docs.
● Excellent interpersonal skills
● Flexible, reliable and confident, with strong problem solving skills
● Full, clean driving licence, ideally with experience driving vans
Reward:
● £30 per hour freelance basis, with scope for future negotiation
● Discretionary annual bonus
● On-going training and development
Location:
Flexible. A combination of remote working, working with the team at our hub in Battersea and site visits around the UK.
