- 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

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.

- 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.
