Job description

Based in Journey's London studio, a short walk from Old Street tube station, you'll design across a mix of clients and channels – think interactive landing pages, newsletters, data visualisation, social carousels and short-form video, often in six languages at once. Working with a Design Lead and a small, multidisciplinary team of designers, strategists, delivery managers and developers, you'll take briefs from first idea to polished, buildable work.

What you'll do

Here’s what the work looks like day-to-day:

• Bringing designs to life (UI): Designing landing pages, emails, portals, and websites, from wireframe to polished, dev-ready UI.
• Looking after the libraries (design system): Applying and helping to maintain design systems and component libraries in Figma, keeping them tidy as they grow.
• Making numbers look good (data visualisation): Re-drawing scientific data (graphs, icons, infographics) so they look good whilst being accurate (yes, it's possible!).
• Making it work globally (localisation): Designing responsive experiences and getting them ready for localisation across multiple markets: different alphabets, text expansion, naming conventions and version control from the start.
• Giving brands a personality (branding): Social graphics, carousels, decks, and brand assets with a distinctive visual language.
• Making it move (motion and video): Simple animation and short-form video edits (captions, titles, cutdowns) for social and campaigns.
• Designing for the build (web): Understanding the platform you're designing for and working with developers so what you design can be built end-to-end.
• Working with the team (collaboration): You'll work directly with other designers, programme leads, delivery managers and developers.
• Presenting your work: Leading client design reviews, presenting your work, explaining the why behind every rectangle, and handling the tough questions with confidence.
• Sweating the small stuff (QA): Checking your own work before it goes out, taking feedback on board and turning amends around accurately.
• Jumping in mid-flight: Picking up live projects, getting up to speed quickly and keeping momentum.

About you

• You have (preferably) 5+ years' experience in an agency or studio, working across different clients and formats.
• Your portfolio shows your eye for detail: real interface screens, posters, videos… We're particularly interested in how you interpret a brief and represent technical information. Graphs, infographics, data visualisation (things that are easy to make boring but shouldn't be).
• You're at home in Figma. Components, variants, auto-layout, libraries and complex design systems don't intimidate you; you know how to build and maintain them.
• You're comfortable with motion or video (After Effects, Premiere, DaVinci or similar), or keen to grow into it.
• You understand how the web is built. No development experience needed! Just enough knowledge to understand what's possible and what's painful for developers.
• You've worked on localisation before (or you're keen to learn!).
• You're a confident communicator: you can present, explain the why behind your decisions, and keep people in the loop when something's off track.
• You take a brief seriously: you apply feedback precisely and still push for better ideas.
• You're curious, with minimal ego: you learn from others and care about the best idea.
• You're curious about AI tools (like Claude, ChatGPT or Figma's AI features) and how they can improve your work.
• Your written and spoken English is excellent.

What's on offer

• A tight-knit team and culture
• A competitive salary
• Great location
• Hybrid work (up to two days working from home optional)
