Job description

Join our team as a Senior UX/UI Designer at The Working Party

Are you a Senior UX/UI Designer with a passion for eCommerce, craft-led design, and creating experiences that drive real commercial outcomes? The Working Party is looking for an Senior UX/UI Designer to lead the creation of high-quality design work that shapes how our clients show up online, from early discovery through to final handover.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives on balancing creativity with structure, enjoys working closely with multidisciplinary teams, and knows how to turn client ambition into design that's both beautiful and buildable.

About Us

The Working Party is Australia and New Zealand's eCommerce partner for strategic growth, precision engineering and intelligent design. As Shopify Platinum and Elite Klaviyo Partners, we work with leading retailers including JB Hi-Fi, KOOKAÏ and Farmers Pick — guiding them through complex platform builds, world-class UX/UI design and performance optimisation. We combine evidence-led strategy with technical excellence to drive long-term, measurable growth.

Our team is made up entirely of ANZ-based senior Strategists, Designers, Developers and Delivery Managers who are deeply invested in the craft of eCommerce. We work collaboratively, partner closely with clients and take genuine ownership of outcomes.

If you're looking to work on high-caliber projects alongside specialists who are committed to quality and continuous improvement, you'll find your place here.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior UX/UI Designer to join our Delivery team and lead the design work that shapes how our clients' brands perform online.

At The Working Party, design is a craft. We don't just create interfaces; we design experiences that solve real customer and business problems, support conversion, and strengthen how brands perform in the market. This role exists to ensure our design output is thoughtful, effective and commercially valuable, balancing creative ambition with delivery realities.

You will work closely with eCommerce Strategists, Business Analysts, Developers and Tech Leads across discovery, concept development, client presentation, handover and design quality assurance - bringing clarity to design decisions and helping guide the team toward strong outcomes for clients and the business alike.

In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For

• Leading the design components of discovery workshops, bringing a clear design perspective to planning and client conversations.
• Creating high-fidelity UX/UI designs across required screen sizes, translating client branding, goals and eCommerce best practice into cohesive, conversion-focused experiences.
• Producing wireframes, sitemaps and Digital Design Guides that give clients and delivery teams clarity, confidence and a shared understanding of design direction.
• Managing design work in line with agreed scope, timelines and budget, protecting design integrity while identifying and flagging scope risks early.
• Collaborating closely with developers to ensure designs are implementation-ready, feasible and clearly documented for accurate handover.
• Reviewing development progress and completing final design quality assurance before launch, ensuring outcomes meet expected standards.
• Mentoring and supporting junior designers, and contributing to The Working Party's design templates, systems and ways of working.

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience as a Senior UX/UI Designer, ideally within eCommerce, digital agency or client services environments.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating high-fidelity UX/UI design across web and mobile, grounded in commercially sound design decisions.
• Confidence in contributing to discovery workshops and translating client goals into clear design direction.
• Strong skills in Figma (or similar) and prototyping tools, with the ability to produce clean, implementation-ready design files.
• A solid understanding of eCommerce best practice and conversion-focused design; Shopify or Shopify Plus experience highly regarded.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with confidence presenting and explaining design rationale to clients.
• A structured, detail-oriented approach with an understanding of scope, budget and delivery constraints.
• A genuine interest in mentoring others and raising design capability across a team.

What We Offer

• Flexible working options, including in-person, hybrid, and remote depending on location
• Exposure to exciting brands and complex digital commerce projects
• The opportunity to work with respected leaders in the Australian and New Zealand eCommerce space
• A collaborative, supportive team environment with opportunities for professional growth

The Working Party is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace where all perspectives are valued. We believe that diversity drives innovation and strengthens our communities. We encourage people from all backgrounds, experiences, and identities to apply, as we strive to create a team where everyone can thrive and contribute their unique talents.
