Qualifications

• A portfolio of live websites or digital interfaces showing your design skills, decisions and contributions.
• Advanced Figma skills, including Auto Layout, components, variants, variables, responsive layouts and prototyping.
• Strong visual design skills in typography, layout and hierarchy, with a solid understanding of interaction design and accessibility.

• Ability to manage several briefs, ask the right questions and flag timing or scope issues early.
• Confidence explaining your work to colleagues in marketing, product, content and engineering.
• Comfort discussing technical details with developers and checking interfaces in a browser; production front-end coding is not a core requirement.

• Use research, analytics and user feedback to identify friction and improve usability, understanding and conversion.
• Maintain a consistent brand across websites, product interfaces, campaigns and email.
• Create and maintain reusable Figma components, variables, design tokens and templates, keeping components aligned with those used in code.
• Design campaign assets and emails for their intended publishing platforms.
• Involve developers early to assess feasibility, reuse and responsive behaviour; organise design files and document interactions and implementation details.
• Consider content, accessibility and technical constraints in design decisions.
• Review built interfaces in the browser and work with developers to resolve visual and interaction issues before release.
• Keep shared guidance current to reduce follow-up questions and rework.
• Use AI where useful to explore ideas, build prototypes and handle repetitive tasks; use MCP connections to carry design context into prototyping and development.
• Organise components, variables and documentation so developers and AI tools have the context they need; carefully review AI-generated work for design quality, usability, accessibility, brand fit and technical feasibility.
• Use approved tools and protect confidential company and customer information.
• Design with WCAG 2.2 AA in mind and check accessibility with developers in the working interface.
• Work with legal and compliance colleagues to include appropriate disclosures and approved content.
• Explain design decisions, listen to feedback and communicate what can be delivered when priorities change.
