You’ll spend most of your time creating illustrations, infographics, and icons, while also helping manage external contractors, ensuring everything meets the Medify style.

Our products are text-heavy, which means illustrations carry weight. We have the opportunity to inject some joy into education, and make students excited to login and learn.

There’ll be many opportunities to stretch your creative muscles, and we’d love a sparkle of originality and playfulness in your work, balanced with a foundation of strong art & design fundamentals.

🖌️ What You’ll Do

Illustration and design

• Create educational illustrations and infographics that make complex ideas easier to understand across current and upcoming courses.
• Develop pictograms and icons that feel at home in the Medify style and work at different sizes.
• Create playful illustrations for our website, marketing materials and product.
• Use AI tools where useful for ideation and content creation, refining the results with your own design judgement and craft.

Quality and consistency

• Help develop and maintain illustration guidelines as we refresh our visual style.
• Review commissioned artwork and give external illustrators clear, constructive feedback.

Collaboration

• Work closely with the lead Illustrator and Learning team to understand illustration briefs and turn them into effective visuals.
• Partner with Product Designers and Engineers to make sure artwork works well within the Medify interface.
• Help organise artwork libraries in Figma, Notion and Google Drive.

👀 What We’re Looking For

Essential

• Around 2–3 years of professional illustration or graphic design experience.
• A portfolio showing strong illustration and design skills, including composition, colour and drawing fundamentals.
• The ability to turn complex educational concepts into clear, appealing visuals.
• Confidence using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Figma.
• A thoughtful approach to feedback and a keen eye for inconsistencies in artwork.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with colleagues and external contractors in a remote team.
• Comfort using AI tools as part of a creative workflow while maintaining a high standard of original craft.

Nice to have

• Experience working within an in-house design team or established visual identity.
• An interest in making education more enjoyable and accessible.
• Animation skills.

🧩 The Process

Our hiring process includes a work trial based on an educational illustration brief. It gives you a chance to show us how you approach a creative challenge and gives us a chance to see your process.

💙 Why Medify?

Your work will help students understand difficult subjects and feel more supported as they work towards medical school. You’ll create a wide range of visuals, from course illustrations to playful product moments, alongside a team that values both creative ideas and clear communication.
