• 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

Who You Are:

Experience:

• 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:

• 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.

Education

• 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.
