About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Digital Designer to step in during a maternity leave and support ongoing client work across website design, digital branding, and investor-focused communications.

This role is hands-on and fast-paced, requiring someone who can confidently take ownership of projects, collaborate with internal teams, and deliver thoughtful, high-quality design solutions with minimal oversight.

Much of our work involves translating complex, often technical or data-heavy information into clear, engaging digital experiences—so comfort working with structured content is key.

What You’ll Be Doing

Lead the design of responsive websites from concept through to handoff (Figma → dev-ready)
Create clean, modern UI systems and page layouts aligned with brand and business goals
Translate complex information into clear, engaging digital experiences (often data-heavy / corporate content)
Work closely with developers to ensure designs are feasible and implemented accurately
Collaborate with project managers and stakeholders to meet deadlines and maintain project scope
Iterate on designs based on feedback while maintaining design integrity
Contribute to and refine internal processes, templates, and component libraries
Design investor presentations in PowerPoint, balancing clarity, hierarchy, and visual polish
Develop and apply brand systems across collateral, including business cards, stationery, and conference banners
Design and develop brand identities, including logos, colour palettes, and typography systems, for new and existing clients

What We’re Looking For

5+ years of experience in digital / UI/UX design
Strong portfolio of website work (bonus if in corporate, finance, or data-heavy industries)
Advanced proficiency in Figma (components, auto layout, systems thinking)
Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
Comfortable working within a structured design process (wireframe → design → refinement
Solid understanding of responsive design and front-end constraints (HTML/CSS/Tailwind is a plus)
Strong attention to typography, layout, and information hierarchy
Strong communication skills and comfort presenting work to internal teams or clients
Able to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities without compromising quality or attention to detail, while confidently owning work end-to-end
Working knowledge of AI tools and the ability to apply them thoughtfully to improve efficiency and support design workflows.

Nice to Have

Experience designing for investor relations, corporate, or B2B websites
Experience collaborating directly with developers
Basic understanding of accessibility standards (WCAG)
Experience with basic video editing and/or web animation (e.g., motion graphics, micro-interactions)

What Success Looks Like in This Role

Designs are thoughtful, consistent, and easy for developers to understand and implement
You help keep projects moving forward and proactively unblock issues when they arise
Clients and internal teams feel confident in your work

A Note on the Contract

This is a maternity leave contract role, with the potential for extension depending on team needs.

Please include a portfolio showcasing your work. We’re especially interested in projects that demonstrate strong structure, clarity, and problem-solving, not just visual style.
