Full Job Description

  • Design intuitive, user-centred digital experiences from concept through to polished UI.
  • Translate briefs, user needs, and business goals into clear user flows, wireframes, prototypes, and interface designs.
  • Balance usability, accessibility, performance, and brand consistency across all digital outputs.
  • Present design rationale clearly and respond to feedback thoughtfully and efficiently.
    • Storytelling with motion
  • Create purposeful motion, micro-interactions, and transitions that enhance clarity, pacing, and emotional engagement.
  • Apply the same creative energy to everyday platforms (e.g. presentations, templates) as to high-profile content moments such as campaigns or podcast intros.
    • Modern digital production & optimisation
  • Demonstrate strong understanding of modern digital production, including file types, formats, compression, and animation techniques.
  • Optimise assets with sensitivity to file size, load time, accessibility, and platform constraints to deliver the best possible user experience.
  • Prepare accurate, production-ready assets for web, email, presentation, and audio-visual platforms.
  • Work confidently within digital asset specifications, brand guidelines, and accessibility standards.
  • Uses AI tools to expedite production and delivery
    • Collaboration & teamwork
  • Collaborate closely with designers, developers, marketers, and stakeholders to deliver cohesive, high-quality outcomes.
  • Contribute ideas generously, build on others' thinking, and support a positive, craft-focused team culture.

    We're looking for a remote middle-weight Digital Designer with strong UX thinking and confident AI skills to join our creative team. This role is for a designer who takes genuine pride in craft, delivers consistently high-quality work, uses AI to expedite their production and delivery, and understands the value of collaboration and shared outcomes.
    • You'll design thoughtful, Figma fluent, user-centred digital experiences across a wide range of platforms. We place no hierarchy on channels: the same care, creativity, and ambition applied to a global podcast intro should be brought to a PowerPoint template or presentation system. Strong ideas, elegant execution, and great user experience matter wherever they live.,
  • 3-6 years of professional experience working in digital design roles, with demonstrable exposure to UX/UI design across real, shipped work.
  • Hands-on experience designing end-to-end digital experiences, including user flows, interface design, and animated or interactive elements.
  • Proven experience applying motion design in a digital or UX context (e.g. interface transitions, presentation systems, content intros/outros, or campaign assets).
  • Experience delivering work within established brand systems, adapting ideas across platforms such as web, presentation tools, audio-visual content, and campaigns.
  • Experience working as part of cross-functional teams, with evidence of contributing as a part of a team, rather than working siloed.
    • Skills:
  • UX & Digital design
  • Must be Figma fluent
  • Strong, practical UX/UI capability, including wireframing, prototyping, and designing intuitive user flows for mid complexity projects.
  • Ability to balance usability, visual craft, performance, and accessibility in everyday design decisions.
  • Confident articulation of design rationale, trade-offs, and decisions.
    • Motion
  • Experience creating motion for both high visibility moments (e.g. content intros, campaigns) and "everyday" platforms (e.g. presentation templates, transitions, UI motion).
  • Strong judgment in when motion adds meaning-and when restraint improves clarity.
    • Digital production
  • Solid understanding of modern digital production practices, including:
  • Appropriate use of file types (e.g. SVG, Lottie, WebP, MP4/GIF where relevant)
  • Compression, optimisation, and file size management
  • Using AI to expedite production & delivery related work
  • Platform specific delivery constraints and performance considerations
  • Demonstrated sensitivity to how design and animation choices affect load times, accessibility, and overall UX.
  • Experience preparing clean, production ready assets with clear handover documentation.
  • Experience building UX libraries
    • Accessibility
  • Working knowledge of accessible and inclusive design principles, with experience applying them in digital work (e.g. colour contrast, motion sensitivity, hierarchy, clarity, readable layouts).
  • Awareness of how motion, interaction, and visual design impact users with diverse needs, and the ability to adjust designs accordingly.
    • Ways of working
  • High attention to detail and pride in craft, without sacrificing momentum or collaboration.
  • Willingness to innovate thoughtfully in unexpected/undervalued places, bringing ambition to all platforms equally.
  • Clear, collaborative communicator with a team first working style., A degree, diploma, or equivalent professional training in Digital Design, Graphic Design, UX/UI, Motion Design, Visual Communication, or a related discipline is desirable but not essential.
  • Candidates without formal qualifications will be considered equally where experience and portfolio demonstrate the required level of thinking, craft, and delivery.
