  • Designing beautiful and accessible user interfaces for web and mobile apps
  • Drawing up wireframes and user flows, and creating interactive prototypes to test them with target users
  • Planning and facilitating client workshops, user interviews and discovery activities to understand how we can best meet user needs
  • Collaborating with developers to ensure that designs are implemented to a high standard
  • Helping other team members improve their work through mentoring sessions, and by providing constructive, actionable feedback
  • Presenting things you’ve learned back to the team as part of our weekly design team chat
  • Joining meetings with potential clients, and creating realistic time estimates for the design work we’d like to complete for them
  • Refining and adding to our design process documentation, and trying out new design processes with the team where possible

  • Have at least 5 years professional experience designing digital products (ideally within a design agency or startup environment)
  • Have practical experience designing complex digital products with Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD or similar
  • Have previously taken responsibility for a the delivery of a design project, or have led other designers to produce fantastic work
  • Can clearly and confidently communicate the reasoning behind their work to clients and other team members
  • Care deeply about producing designs that have a positive impact on users, and have tons of initiative
  • Can mentor other team members to help them improve their skills
  • Understand how to implement user-centered design principles in real world situations
  • Can help us to further develop our design processes so we’re delivering the best experience possible to both users and clients

We know our team isn’t diverse enough at the moment and we’re actively trying to change this. No matter who you are, if you think you’d be a good fit for the role we want to hear from you.

  • No overtime, ever
  • Annual budget for conferences, books and other resources to help develop your skills
  • Up-to-date Mac with admin rights and any other equipment you need
