About the Client

We are excited to partner with a leading education provider to recruit a talented Senior Digital / UI Designer for a key web refresh project. Operating within an established brand ecosystem and mature design system, our client is looking for a robust visual practitioner who can elevate key digital touchpoints while bringing practical UX problem-solving to future concepts.

About the Role

As the Senior Digital / UI Designer, you will lead the visual refresh of the client’s core digital assets.

You will be embedded directly inside an agile Squad working alongside front-end and CMS developers. While dedicated user research and an Information Architecture (IA) update will be provided by partner teams, you will play a crucial role in integrating visual layouts into the recent IA, conducting usability testing, and exploring creative concepts for unscoped, future digital deliverables.

Key Responsibilities
Core Web Refresh: Redesign high-visibility pages using existing brand guidelines and design system components.
IA Integration:



Adapt design patterns and content layouts to seamlessly align with an incoming Information Architecture refresh.
Concepting & Innovation: Wireframe, prototype, and concept future digital solutions for complex requirements outside the current design system scope.
Squad Collaboration: Partner daily with CMS developers, front-end engineers, and product stakeholders to ensure technical feasibility and sleek execution.
Evidence-Based Design: Validate designs through usability testing and articulate design rationale to broad stakeholder groups.

What We’re Looking For
Strong UI/Digital Portfolio: Demonstrated track record of delivering clean, high-impact web pages and component systems.
Foundational UX Skillset: Practical experience with wireframing, user flows, layout hierarchy, and usability testing.
Design System Mastery: Ability to work efficiently within mature UI kits and contribute component enhancements.
Developer Collaboration: Comfort working alongside CMS and front-end developers in an integrated squad workplace.
Stakeholder Engagement: Excellent communication skills to present ideas, gather feedback, and defend design decisions with data and insights.
