Senior Designer

The Role

You’ll need deep, hands-on Figma expertise (non-negotiable) and a genuine interest in consumer brands and ecommerce, ideally with direct experience designing for DTC or challenger brands.

You’ll report into the Head of Design, working alongside another Senior Designer, a Mid-weight Designer and a Junior Designer.

Includes, but is not limited to:

• Create highly creative and compelling visual content across digital design platforms and print media when required.
• Create web design frameworks such as wireframes, mockups and prototypes (web and mobile interfaces).
• Identify challenges regarding design output and provide elegant solutions.
• Challenge and help shape creative briefs to ensure creative output meets the client’s needs and expectations.
• Genuinely love the brands you work on, ensuring their guidelines are upheld and consistently applied across every touchpoint.
• Bring ideas, not just execution, with a high level of attention to detail across every piece of work.
• Continuously improve and optimise your own design process to ensure projects are delivered within agreed timeframes to a high standard.
• Support the Growth Team with production of paid media and email assets.
• Collaborate with the Build Team to create exceptional websites with best practice user experience and interface design.
• Proactively build relationships with the marketing and development teams to ensure consistency with client objectives and deliverables.
• Communicate with Account Management on project status and potential bottlenecks to ensure projects are on time, designs are high quality and client expectations are met.
• Manage your own schedule and workload, working with Account Management to hit client timelines.
• Represent design in client kick-off calls, presentations, reviews and pitches.
• Ensure creative briefing docs are complete and concise, with all relevant docs and assets available before creative work commences.
• Run thorough aesthetic QA on developed sites to ensure your designs are precisely and effectively transferred to the final build.
• Stay on top of current design trends, tools, techniques and competitor activity to inform your own work and keep us ahead in our sector.

What You’ll Bring

• Expert-level Figma skills — component libraries, auto-layout, variants, prototyping. You should be able to build and maintain a scalable design system, not just use one.
• Strong portfolio of ecommerce and consumer brand work. Shopify experience is a strong plus.
• Genuine interest in the DTC and consumer goods space. You follow the brands and have opinions on what makes a challenger brand stand out.
• Confidence presenting and defending design decisions directly to clients.
• Experience across both website and paid media / email design, understanding how one informs the other.

Location

Our HQ is based in Exeter, Devon – we would love to have someone who wants to be based with the rest of the design team in our office but we’re equally open to UK based remote work options – provided they are commutable distances to either London or Exeter for at least quarterly in-person meet ups. Many of our team are based across London, Bristol, Exeter and Cornwall.
