• Hybrid working, 2 days remote and 3 days on-site at our period building on Merrion Square
• A collaborative, open team where everyone’s voice is heard

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a collaborative creative designer who places the user at the centre of every decision. You will get as much out of this as you put in, so we want someone who is highly engaged and can take the opportunity to learn.

Experience & Tools

• Experience using Figma for design and prototyping
• Familiarity with AI tools to boost creativity, and productivity and streamline workflows
• Some experience carrying out user research, such as surveys, interviews or usability testing
• A portfolio showing user-centred work (college and personal projects count)
• A good understanding of UX fundamentals, including user flows, wireframes and accessibility
• Experience working as part of a team
• An outgoing personality and strong communication skills, including confidence presenting and discussing ideas
• Openness to feedback and a real appetite to engage and learn

Friday is building one of the most talented digital teams in UX/UI and digital marketing. To achieve our goals we’re driven to hire great people. We see limitless potential if we can find the right talent to grow and share in our success. This is a big opportunity for a designer to make a real difference by working with some of the best people for a diverse range of clients.

Employees benefit from an open, flexible, and easy-going environment to work and grow.
