• Deep expertise in marketing website design, responsive layouts, intuitive user flows, and conversion-focused digital brand execution.
• Experience developing and maintaining modular design systems optimized for high-volume paid marketing and CRM campaigns.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor or line manage designers while collaborating seamlessly across cross-functional marketing and technical teams.

Dojo home and away

We believe our best work happens when we collaborate in-person. These “together days” foster communication, drive innovation and spark our brightest ideas.

That's why we have an office-first culture. This means working from the office 4+ days per week.

With offices across Europe, we know a thing or two about staying dynamic. Need deep focus? Head to a quiet zone. Big ideas? Collaboration spaces have you covered. Just here for a catch-up? Our social hubs make it easy. Do work that counts, in spaces made for you.
