Mid Digital Designer

How&How are seeking a full-time Midweight Digital Designer to join our growing global family. You will have raw talent, curiosity and a strong creative instinct — and help us deliver work for our clients which is meticulous, systematic and striking. You will be a team player who will be generous with ideas, and have strong beliefs — loosely held.

You will be a key driver of digital output, and work in our digital design team to develop design systems from the brand identities the agency creates. A confidence in your work is essential, but egos get left at the door.

Topline: we need a well-rounded, team-player to push our digital design projects forward. You’ll have strong problem-solving skills; knowledge of UX processes and methodologies and great interpersonal skills too.

Responsibilities:

• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity comps to communicate design ideas that illustrate user interaction
• Design UI and UX based on requirements from concept to final hand-off to developer
• Work jointly with other UX/ UI designers to provide input and help solve complex interaction problems
• Work closely with Digital Producers to translate low fidelity wireframes, hand sketches, and/or rough requirements of an idea into well designed user interfaces and experiences
• Use motion prototypes to demonstrate user-interaction and create motion-based assets for use on websites
• Collaborate and communicate with developers to ensure execution and consistency of the experience
• Participate in brainstorming sessions and bring fresh ideas to the table
• Ensure consistency in designs and content across all company platforms
• Present designs and design systems to clients
• Develop digital storyboards and animation as needed

Your Skills:

• 3+ years hands-on experience as a UI / UX Designer
• 100% credible in our core discipline of digital design
• Notable experience designing complex user interfaces for web and/or mobile applications
• Thorough understanding of user-centred design, responsive design, mobile first design, motion design and web standards
• Deep understanding of industry standard tools (in particular Figma and After Effects)
• Strong problem-solving skills and knowledge of UX processes and methodologies
• Efficient, detail-oriented, organised, and able to work under tight deadlines
• Strong multi-tasking skills; able to prioritise own work (and ask questions when it's ambiguous)
• Strong creative instincts and willingness to push further through experimentation
• Advanced understanding of how to apply the methodologies of interaction design and research to business problems
• Additional tools are a big plus: code, illustration, etc
• Curious about brands and the positive impact they can have on the world
• Interested in more than just design
• Ambitious self-starter who can thrive in ambiguity
• Comfortable engaging with the strategic dimension of our work
• Able to get under the skin of clients issues, strong on content as well as visuals
• Able to build personal relationships and trust with clients
• Articulate, confident and assertive in presenting work
• Strong creative instincts and willingness to push further through experimentation

• Salary £42,500-£47,000 (DOE) + Bonus Opportunities
• We operate a profit share scheme with everyone in the agency, because we believe everyone should share in the success of the entire team
• We publish all our salary tiers internally and the same job roles are paid exactly the same. Because we think that's fair
• We contribute 3% of qualifying earnings to anyone who wants to engage in our pension scheme
• 39 Day Holiday allocation — 28 days holiday + 8 bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
• We work from our bright and airy Shoreditch studio, with 2 days WFH per week

• Monthly 1-2-1s, 3-month check-ins and 6-month reviews with your line manager to give honest feedback, celebrate wins, and make sure your efforts are recognised. Good work leads to good things, so if you’re doing a great job, you’ll see that reflected in your salary and opportunities to grow
• £1,000/year skills & training allowance
• Cross-skill training, giving you the ability to improve on overall performance
• We operate a Cycle to Work scheme, so you can spread the cost of a new bike, tax-free, through salary sacrifice
• We offer free breakfast, snacks and drinks in our beautiful kitchen
• We host regular studio learning lunches, head out to talks together, and every other Thursday we wrap up early to hold courses (accompanied by pizza & drinks) in the studio

• Twice a year, we get our whole global team together in one place for epic Summer and Winter parties
• Visa Sponsorship—we can help sponsor your Visa in the UK! Currently working on doing the same in the U.S.
• We’re B-Corp Certified, which means our agency meets the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency and legal accountability
