- Present work to clients and senior stakeholders, run workshops and manage feedback through to clear decisions.
- Build and maintain scalable design systems, component libraries, templates and responsive patterns.
- Work closely with UX, strategy, content, development, project management, SEO, analytics and QA teams from discovery through implementation.
- Support design handover and QA, helping to protect design intent through build and launch.
- Provide direction, feedback and mentoring to other designers, and contribute to pitches, proposals and new business activity.

You will have;
- 6+ experience in digital, visual or interaction design, ideally within an agency or consultancy.
- A strong portfolio of large-scale websites, digital platforms or complex multi-page experiences.
- Experience translating brand identities into digital experiences across templates, components, content types and breakpoints.
- Advanced Figma skills, including components, variants, variables, libraries, prototyping and design systems.
- Strong visual design craft, with a good understanding of typography, layout, hierarchy, imagery, interaction and motion.
- A clear understanding of accessibility, usability, responsive design and web development considerations.
- Experience presenting to clients, facilitating workshops and explaining design decisions clearly.
- Experience giving direction or mentoring other designers.
- The ability to balance creative ambition with user needs, technical constraints, budgets and delivery deadlines.
Desirable
- AI tools used thoughtfully within the design process.
- Enterprise CMS platforms such as Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, WordPress or HubSpot.
- Design tokens, component governance, modular content models or composable architectures.
- Motion design, animation, interaction prototyping or emerging digital interfaces.
- User research, regulated sectors or technically complex subject matter.
