In this role you will:

Be part of an international team that crafts amazing work for the world’s biggest brands under the guidance of a creative director.
Translate brand values, creative concepts, UX documentation and user–stories into groundbreaking visual & functional design solutions.
Work with concepts defined by creative agencies and translate them into social content, banners, web pages and animated visuals.
Go above and beyond the original brief to push what’s possible on both a creative and technical level.
Employ your problem–solving skills and full stack of design solutions to guide projects from start, finish and everywhere in between to ensure the highest quality of delivery.
Present your work in person and through video calls to colleagues and clients, pitching new projects and proposals for production. You’ll prototype your designs where needed to provide additional clarification.
Provide written and verbal communication to articulate and strengthen your designs.
Have opinions and not be afraid to voice them.

Requirements

Experience you already have:

You’re a wonderful designer. You prove your visual prowess through your online portfolio and relevant working experience of around 3 years across the field of digital and web design. Beyond aesthetic excellence, your portfolio demonstrates exemplary presentation, research, troubleshooting and problem–solving skills.
Your unwavering curiosity never stops you from learning and progressing. You love pushing the envelope both personally and professionally.
You love people and their diversity. You’re great to work with, as you have strong social and communication skills that ensure you understand how colleagues and clients work and think.
A feel for the politics of advertising and pitfalls of production.
A critical eye but you’re not critical. You understand that a combination of kudos and critique makes people want to go the extra mile.
A thorough understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, interaction design and usability, grid systems, white space, aspect ratios and color theory, tying all of these elements together with an obsessive attention to detail.
You feel confident in tackling high–end projects in collaboration with colleagues and clients alike.
Mastery of all modern design and prototyping tools (Adobe CS, Sketch, Figma, Principle…). You’re tidy, and you know how to organize your files, layers and folders to make the lives of colleagues easier.
Based on your experience and expertise, you can judge the quality of the user experience, and explain what needs to be achieved to make it better.
Mindful of your time, budget and schedule, you are flexible and willing to put in the time and dedication needed to make each project you work on a success.
