Tasks and responsibilities

• Work across a range of digital design experiences - while mostly focused on UX/UI or product-focused briefs, you'll also get stuck into branding, graphic design, pitch decks, animation storyboards and more.
• Lead complex, fixed-term jobs – including client and project management – ensuring timely delivery to our silver-service standard. We don’t have a dedicated account/PM team so being highly organised with exceptional verbal communication is essential.
• Collaborate with designers to create exceptional digital products and websites that exceed client expectations, demonstrating best practices, creativity, and commercial impact.
• Develop and maintain design systems and guidelines that ensure consistency and quality across all our work.
• Work closely with stakeholders to understand business needs, user requirements and technical constraints – and translate them into elegant, intuitive, effective designs.
• Lead design sprints, workshops and presentations that engage clients and explain our process and problem-solving approach.
• Mentor junior and mid-weight designers, offering feedback, support and guidance to help them grow.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve productivity and processes across the wider team.
