Job description

Kee Digital Media is looking for a Web Developer & Graphic Designer to join our team in Manchester and become part of an ambitious and growing digital agency.

This is a varied role combining web development and graphic design, working directly under our Technical Director across a wide range of clients and industries.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable both building websites and producing high-quality creative work. One day you might be developing a new client website, the next working on a brand identity, advertising campaign or print project.

As the agency continues to grow, this is an opportunity to join at an exciting stage, develop your skills across both technical and creative disciplines and take on increasing responsibility as part of the team.

Web Development

You will work alongside our Technical Director to build, develop and maintain client websites, covering both front-end and back-end work.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building responsive websites for clients across a variety of sectors
• Back-end development and website configuration
• Building and maintaining WordPress and other CMS-based websites, including platforms such as Shopify and Framer
• Turning approved designs into functional websites
• Creating and adapting page layouts, templates and website components
• Implementing forms, integrations and website functionality
• Website maintenance, updates and troubleshooting
• Testing websites across desktop, tablet and mobile
• Supporting website launches, migrations and performance improvements
• Assisting the Technical Director with larger and more complex development projects
• Good working understanding of technical and on-page SEO best practice"

Graphic Design

You will also support our creative and marketing work, producing professional design assets for both digital and print.

This will include:

• Branding and visual identity work
• Logo design and development
• Brand guidelines and supporting assets
• Digital advertising creative
• Social media graphics and campaign assets
• Website graphics and visual elements
• Brochures, flyers, posters and other marketing materials
• Business stationery and branded collateral
• Preparing artwork for professional print
• Adapting existing brands and campaigns across different formats

About You

We are looking for someone with a genuine combination of technical and creative ability.

You don't necessarily need to be a senior specialist in every area, but you should already have a strong foundation across development and design and be keen to continue developing your skills.

Ideally, you will have:

• 3+ years' commercial experience in web development, graphic design or a combined digital role
• Strong front-end development skills, including HTML, CSS.
• Experience building and maintaining responsive, CMS-based websites, particularly WordPress
• Experience with platforms such as Shopify and/or Framer would be beneficial
• A good understanding of website performance, usability and SEO best practice
• Strong graphic design fundamentals, with experience across digital, branding and print
• Experience using Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva or equivalent professional design tools
• Strong attention to detail and a good eye for layout, typography and visual consistency
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
• The confidence to work independently while collaborating closely with our Technical Director and wider team

Previous agency experience would be beneficial but is not essential.

Why Kee Digital Media?

Kee Digital Media is an ambitious and growing agency, working with businesses across a broad range of industries.

The biggest difference with this role is the variety. You won't spend every day working on the same website, product or brand. Our client base means the projects, creative briefs and technical challenges are constantly changing.

You will work closely with an experienced Technical Director, while also having the opportunity to take increasing ownership of projects as both you and the agency grow.

For the right person, this is a chance to become an important part of the team rather than simply another developer or designer within a large department.

We're looking for someone who enjoys combining development, design and problem-solvingand wants to build their career as part of a business with genuine growth ambitions.
