App Designer

Job description

We’re looking for a super-talented midweight to senior level User Interface Designer with a background in digital and a passion for creativity, to join our design team. You’ll be working on a range of exciting greenfield projects, including mobile apps and other digital product design for startups and household names alike. We offer a flexible hybrid working environment including access to our office in Farringdon, London.

Where does this job fit into the organisation?

Hex has grown over the last few years to an established product and growth studio, and with this growth comes exciting opportunities and inspiring clients. This role will be within our design team, working closely with a raft of other creative minds and experts in all functions of the agency. We expect you to be brimming with ideas, challenge yourself, to grow and develop, and create jaw-dropping designs.

How many projects will I be working on at a time?

We actively work with a range of clients, covering large product-focused work, smaller digital and print design projects and monthly retainers for both established names and marketplace challengers. Some weeks will be entirely focussed on large projects and pitches, whereas others will include getting stuck into smaller briefs and problem-solving for our retained clients.

What will my personal space be like?

Our Farringdon office is open-plan; you’ll have a spacious desk next to the rest of the design team with personal storage space. We have several spaces for collaboration, such as meeting rooms and sofas, along with kitchen and shower facilities on-site.

What is the hardest part of this job?

You will need to be an expert at creative thinking, juggling priorities and working to tight deadlines in a fast-paced industry where things can change with little notice. There’s a lot of space to learn, grow, and supercharge your career.
