About Fauna


We're a global employee experience creative consultancy. We design great workdays, for happier people, stronger teams, and better businesses.


We're (sort of) new around here. With years of industry experience under our belt, four agency leaders joined forces to create a dynamic new agency. We've been around long enough to know there’s no framework for real people. No cut-and-paste culture. No shortcuts. We’re in this together, doing transformational work from welcome aboard to bon voyage.


What we do

We help ambitious, forward-thinking leaders reimagine and design employee experiences from first impressions to fond farewells. We design human experiences to build more human businesses.


  • Employee experience strategy & design: Attraction to alumni
  • Employee Value Proposition: Finding the ‘unique signature’ for your organisation
  • Culture and transformation: Crafting culture for business impact
  • Bespoke leadership development: Innovative and bold leadership experiences
  • Boundary pushing internal communications: Creative and connective strategies & campaigns
  • People strategy & planning: Vision, direction, and delivery


Fauna is founded on our unwavering belief that work can – and should – be a positive force for good. So let’s bin the playbook and start from a place of possibility. Together.


Our ethos

  1. Crazy high standards
  2. Binning the playbook
  3. Designing human experiences
  4. Starting from a place of possibility
  5. Having an impact


We’re so glad you’re here.

We're only four months old and we're starting to build our team. Creativity is a huge part of what we do. We want to people to connect at work, to really feel part of something. To achieve that, we create world-class creative for some of the world's most iconic businesses.


The role

You're much more important than the role description so we'll be flexible for the right person. You'll be the second person in the creative team, working alongside our creative director, Ben and partnering with the diverse and amazingly talented creative community we've spent years building.


We're looking for a design director/senior designer who loves working both conceptually and visually.


We're super open to talk about salary and benefits. This is about the person.


What you love to do

  1. Create campaign concepts
  2. Develop crafted design across multiple touchpoints from social to presentations to experiences
  3. Get stuck into brainstorms, creative ideation, and working with our clients to think differently
  4. Design across multiple platforms, our work covers film, animation, copy and photography (don't worry, nobody has experience in everything. We just want you to be passionate about the possibility)


A few things to know

  • Fauna is just getting started, we're looking for someone who wants to build our agency with us. That means we're all getting stuck in at all levels of the work.
  • We're based in central Bristol at The Generator. We're happy to chat about any working arrangement that best suits you.
  • This role is full time.
  • If you need reasonable accommodation, or have any other needs as part of applying for a role with us, just let us know.


Don't worry if you don't hear back from us straight away. Building our team is the most important thing to us, so we'll be taking the time to really explore applications.


We can't wait to meet you
