Xellia is a 120-year-old company with a refreshingly start-up feel inside. We’ve spent more than a century at the forefront of anti-infective medicine — quietly making a difference to patients all over the world — and we’re just as ambitious today as we were a hundred years ago.
We’ve recently refreshed our brand under a simple, human idea: We’re Your People. It’s built on the strong relationships and trusted partnerships that have always defined us, and it puts the real Xellians — the warm, expert, dedicated team behind the science — front and center. Now we need someone to help us bring that brand to life, beautifully and consistently, everywhere it shows up.
This is a graphic design-led role with the creative range to produce content across video, audio, and more — spanning both digital and print. You’ll be the person who takes our refreshed visual identity and makes it real: every layout, every brochure, every social asset, every campaign, every internal slide. Whoever encounters Xellia, wherever they encounter us, will see and feel the same brand.
You’ll report directly to the Senior Brand & Marketing Manager — think of yourself as their creative sidekick — and you’ll sit within a talented, experienced corporate communications team. Together, you’ll support the whole team to tell Xellia’s story, inside and out, to colleagues, customers, partners, and the wider world.
You’ll work in a fast-paced, often reactive environment where briefs can land short and deadlines can move quickly. Sometimes you’ll be handed a polished brief; other times you’ll be given a few words and the trust to turn them into something brilliant. Either way, you’ll have an ambitious, supportive team around you that believes good creative makes a real difference.

Must-Haves
Nice-to-Haves
Someone warm, curious, and quietly confident in their craft. You take design seriously but don’t take yourself too seriously. You’re happy to turn around a beautifully designed report one morning, edit a video story that afternoon, and spend the next day getting the kerning right on a single headline.
Most of all, you care. About the work, about the people you’re making it for, and about the brand you’re helping to build.
Because you’ll be joining at a genuinely exciting moment — a refreshed brand, real momentum, and the rare combination of a 120-year heritage with a start-up energy inside. Because the work matters: the medicines we make help patients in some of the most critical moments of their lives. And because here, you’re not just a hire — you’re one of us.
Please submit your CV as soon as possible. We review applications on an ongoing basis and look forward to hearing from you. The position will remain open until we have found the right candidate.
We’re Your People. Come and be one of them.
