Job Description

Are you the senior digital designer we’ve been looking for?

We’re looking for a super-talented digital designer to work in our small (but growing) creative team.

It’s a team made up of permanent employees and freelance talent: writers, designers, animators and developers. But what unites us is our mission to create work with real depth and quality.

Our mission as employers is to equip our people with the opportunities, tools and time they need to do that.

You’ll be working in our niche – B2B tech – so agency experience in that world is essential. Probably 5+ years. We’ll want to see lots of B2B tech in your book.

We need someone who thinks strategically about user experience and designing for the web. If you also have more traditional content design skills and are into creating brand identities, that’s a massive bonus.

We’re just as interested in how you approach your work. We want someone who doesn’t just deliver to a brief but asks the right questions and shapes the brief themselves. Because they understand that great design comes from an understanding of the client, the tech and the needs of the user. Someone who’s able to explain and sell their work to teammates and clients alike.

Most importantly, we like team players. Designers who love working with other creatives, and who are open, positive and passionate about their work and the work of the whole team.

We’re a remote agency, so we need someone who’s a good communicator, is accountable and is comfortable collaborating with colleagues on the other end of Slack chats and Zoom calls.

What you need

  • 5+ years experience in a design studio, preferably with digital experience
  • Excellent technical skills and a keen eye for well crafted and balanced design
  • Comfortable covering all aspects of a web design and hand-off from conception to UX, design, UI and iconography, art direction and curation of imagery and illustration
  • Solid understanding of UX and UI principles – user journeys, wireframing, prototyping, testing, researching etc
  • An ability to explore and implement unique and inspiring ways to bring brands to life in a digital environment
  • Experience in working on design systems (atomic design) with strong attention to detail
  • Finger on the pulse of digital marketing and UX best practices
  • Experience collaborating with content writers, designers and dev teams
  • Comfortable presenting your ideas clearly and concisely with top-notch written and verbal communication

Tech, tools and specs

  • Figma
  • Adobe Creative Cloud suite
  • Prototyping software (we mostly use Figma for our prototypes but if you have experience in Framer or Principle too then great)
  • Fundamentals in graphic design and typesetting
  • Good understanding of HTML, CSS
  • Bonus: experience with After Effects or 3D software

The job specs

  • Senior or Midweight Digital Designer – but open to a graphic designer with digital skills and ambition (see above)
  • Full-time – but open to flexible arrangements
  • Remote but regular meet-ups and socials post-Covid – offices are so 2019
  • £45–55k pro-rata depending on experience
  • Pension
  • Other benefits/perks like tech and training budget, flexible hours, shorter working weeks etc.
