Job description

eighteen73 is a technical and creative marketing and communications agency based in rural Herefordshire, helping brands do brilliant, beautiful things. Our expertise spans branding, digital marketing, website and app development, and campaign execution for truly ambitious brands.

We’re looking for a talented Senior Digital Designer to join our established team to lead the design of websites, digital products and creative ads that deliver great user experiences and measurable results for our clients.

The Role

This is a true digital designer role, spanning the full breadth of our digital work – from shaping the customer journey and UI for a new e-commerce site to designing a suite of paid social and display creative to drive traffic to it. You’ll work closely with our wider design team, collaborating with developers, marketers and paid media specialists, contributing to the thinking that delivers exceptional digital experiences.

We’re looking for a blend of technical and creative skills, a proven design pedigree, and an appetite for adopting next-generation technology, best practice and software. You should be enthusiastic and self-motivated to discover new tools, and confident presenting ideas and moving brands to the next level.

We have offices in Leominster, and we’re very flexible about working arrangements. Hybrid working is fine with us, but we like a good mix of office time, as it sparks creativity across the team. If you’re the right person for us, this isn’t work; it’s pleasure!

Key Responsibilities

You will conceptualise creative ideas and contribute to thinking that delivers exceptional digital experiences, all whilst maintaining design quality and brand integrity alongside our senior branding designers.

Web & UX Design

• Collaborate in the end-to-end web design process, including defining customer journeys, finding pain points, and creating wireframes, prototypes and high-fidelity designs using Figma and other industry-leading tools.
• Lead the design of websites and e-commerce stores, crafting mobile-first, responsive experiences across the full journey, from homepage and category pages to product pages and checkout, that balance brand storytelling with usability and conversion.
• Design digital products such as web applications, apps and customer portals, creating intuitive interfaces, component libraries and design systems that our developers can build from with confidence.
• Design supporting assets such as landing pages, email creative and social content so that campaigns land consistently from ad to site.

Creative Digital Design

• Design ad creative for paid digital campaigns, producing static and animated assets for paid social, display and video, and adapting concepts into the sizes and formats each platform needs.
• Work with the marketing and paid media team to review campaign performance and iterate on creative.
• Create supporting graphics, charts and infographics for internal and external documents.

Desired Skills & Experience

• 3+ years of experience in digital design, covering both web design and online advertising creative.
• UX and UI design experience with examples of commercial work.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating thinking and creativity across websites and campaign work.
• Proficiency in Figma as a creative and collaboration tool, and experience working with Adobe Creative Suite. Motion or animation skills (e.g. After Effects) are a strong advantage.
• Full understanding of mobile-first and responsive design that marries creativity with user-focused needs.
• Working knowledge of ad specs and best practices across the major paid social and display platforms.
• Capable of managing workload and deadlines, communicating issues and challenges as they arise.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

What We Offer

• Flexible, hybrid working options and a competitive benefits package.
• A senior role with real creative influence across the agency’s web and campaign work.
• A professional, collaborative work environment in our comfortable offices, set in the beautiful rural Herefordshire countryside.
• Opportunities for growth within an agency that’s doing brilliant work.
