Mid-Level Retail and Activation Spatial Designer
MANCHESTER, UK
Tangent is an exciting creative agency based in the centre of Manchester. Following a successful last few years, which saw us bring a number of new clients into the business, we are now looking for a Mid-Level Retail and Activation Spatial Designer to join the team and work across an exciting and ever-growing global client portfolio.
As a small entrepreneurial company, our culture is really important to us, and we pride ourselves on creating a supportive, friendly environment for our people to thrive and grow. We are looking for someone who is a team player, committed to delivering exceptional work for clients in a fast paced environment and able to use their initiative to creatively problem solve.
At Tangent, we create immersive brand worlds. You will be responsible for taking a seed of an idea and growing it into a fully realized 3D environment, whether that’s a global retail toolkit, a high-energy pop-up activation, or a permanent brand space.
What you'll be doing:
- Concepting & storytelling: Leading the creative charge on briefs, turning brand storytelling and audience insight into tangible spatial experiences that stop people in their tracks.
- 3D Visualization: Creating high-end renders and technical drawings design intent drawings that communicate the "vibe" and the "how-to" with equal clarity.
- Retail Strategy: Designing with the consumer journey in mind - understanding how humans move through space and interact with products.
- Collaboration: Working closely with Account Managers and Creative Directors and external suppliers to ensure designs are on-brand, on-budget, and physically possible.
- Technical Precision: Balancing blue-sky thinking with the practicalities of materials, lighting, and production.
The ideal candidate will have:

- Activation experience
- Strong working knowledge of Cinema 4D, Corona Renderer (and others), Sketch Up, Photoshop and the usual programs related to creating and editing spaces
- The ability to take projects from concepts to completion
- The ability to balance multiple projects
- Understanding of design principles
- Experience of working with sport fashion brands (not essential, but nice to have)
- An interest in how tech can enhance a retail experience.
What we offer you:
- 24 days holiday plus all UK bank holidays
- Christmas shutdown (Christmas Eve until 2nd January)
- Training opportunities both within the company and via external courses
- Predominantly office-based role with one day a week work-from-home flexibility (additional flexibility available when needed)
