You'll design seamless, conversion focused digital experiences, contribute to strategic design discussions, and play a key role in guiding our junior designers as they grow. With the support of our senior team, you'll balance multiple projects, lead presentations, and bring bold, user focused ideas to life. Most of our projects - around 80% - are focused on digital design, including UI (User Interface) and UX (User Experience) for websites, digital products, and complex dashboards.

What we're looking for Figma fluency - the basics are essential; the rest you'll learn here. A natural eye for detail and pixel perfect execution. Strong time management; you'll check in on daily and keep Project Managers in the loop. A collaborative mindset; you must be open to feedback and hungry to grow. Experience we'd love to see We value hands on experience with digital product design, experience in Figma, and a portfolio that showcases your ability to create clear, functional, and aesthetically pleasing interfaces.
