Job description

Jora Malaysia will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey.

This is a senior individual contributor role at a high-end consulting services company establishing a major new international brand. We are looking to hire an experienced web designer who has worked on English native websites for an international audience for a long-term role with the company. You will work directly under the Head of Digital Web Design & UX and the Head of Digital Marketing as a key hands-on member of the design team — producing the work, raising the bar, and helping to shape the standards.

What sets this role apart is the work itself. You will design a highly complex, data-rich website and application — interactive comparison engines, decision-tree tools, multi-jurisdictional data visualisations — that transform dense advisory content into intuitive, high-converting digital experiences. Your work will sit at the intersection of premium brand aesthetics and serious technical UX, serving sophisticated international audiences navigating complex financial, corporate, and property decisions.

You will collaborate with front-end developers and the wider team.

Why This Role is Different

• Work Under an Experienced Design Leader: You will report to management that sets the vision and provides creative direction. Your role is to execute brilliantly within that framework while contributing your own ideas.
• Multi-Brand Portfolio: Each brand requires a distinct, premium identity that coheres within a broader architectural system. You will execute across the full portfolio.
• Solve Genuinely Complex UX Problems: This is not marketing-page design. You will design user journeys through intricate datasets, multi-step decision frameworks, and interactive tools that must feel effortless despite their underlying complexity.
• Senior IC Track: This is a hands-on craft role. Career growth is available through deepening expertise and increased ownership, with potential to mentor junior designers as the team expands.
• Real Influence on the Design System: You will help build and maintain the Figma design system that scales the design function across brands and products.

Core Responsibilities

1. UX Design & Interactive Execution

• Design end-to-end user experiences for complex, data-intensive websites and applications — including interactive comparison engines, eligibility checkers, decision-tree wizards, and multi-variable data visualisation tools.
• Translate information architectures into intuitive interfaces that make dense, multi-jurisdictional advisory content navigable for international audiences.
• Produce detailed wireframes, user flows, and high-fidelity prototypes in Figma covering interaction states, edge cases, and data-loading scenarios.
• Participate in user research and usability testing, and apply findings to refine complex interaction patterns before development.
• Work alongside the Head of Digital Marketing’s team to ensure design decisions support conversion goals and lead capture without compromising design integrity.

2. Brand Execution & Visual Design

• Apply and extend brand identity systems across digital touchpoints: websites, applications, social media assets, investor materials, and thought-leadership content.
• Maintain consistency with established brand guidelines while contributing thoughtful variations and evolutions where appropriate.
• Contribute to brand identity development for new brands currently in production, working under the creative direction of the Head of Digital Web Design & UX.
• Help maintain and extend the shared Figma design system — components, design tokens, pattern library — that enables rapid, consistent execution across creative areas including socials campaigns.

3. High-End Web & Application Design

• Produce exceptional, pixel-perfect web designs that communicate premium positioning to sophisticated, high-net-worth international audiences.
• Design responsive interfaces across desktop, tablet, and mobile that maintain visual excellence and functional clarity at every breakpoint.
• Design web applications with significant interactive data flows — dashboards, client portals, reporting interfaces — ensuring complex functionality feels elegant and approachable.
• Deliver production-ready design specifications, component documentation, and developer handoff assets that front-end teams can implement with precision.
• Stay current with design trends, emerging interaction patterns, and tools to keep the portfolio’s digital presence at the leading edge.

4. Figma Craft & Design System Contribution

• Operate as a power user of Figma: confident with components, auto-layout, variants, prototyping, and contributing to design system architecture.
• Maintain disciplined file structures, naming conventions, and component usage that align with the team’s established standards.
• Contribute reusable components and patterns to the shared design system.
• Brief and collaborate with front-end developers on implementation of interactive elements, animations, and data-visualisation components (e.g., D3.js, Chart.js, or equivalent libraries).
• Participate actively in design critiques, sharing work openly and giving constructive feedback to peers.
• Mentor and support junior designers and contractors as the team grows.
• Maintain high craft standards in your own output and help raise the bar for the team.
• Communicate clearly with non-design stakeholders — developers, marketers, and senior leadership — about design decisions and trade-offs.

What Success Looks Like

• Designed and shipped complex, data-rich web applications or interactive tools that real users rely on — not just marketing landing pages.
• Executed within an established brand system across multiple products or business units, maintaining coherence while contributing distinctive work.
• Delivered measurable improvements in user engagement, task completion, or conversion through UX design decisions.
• Contributed meaningfully to a Figma-based design system or component library.
• Collaborated effectively with developers and other stakeholders to ship work that matches the design intent.

Qualifications & Ideal Profile

Required

A minimum of four years’ experience in digital design or UX, including substantial work on production websites or applications. You must have a strong design portfolio demonstrating high-end web design, complex application interfaces, and brand execution work. Advanced proficiency in Figma is essential — this is your primary tool and you should be confident with components, auto-layout, variants, prototyping, and contributing to design system architecture. You need a solid understanding of UX principles, information architecture, and interaction design for complex, data-heavy applications. Strong knowledge of responsive design, accessibility standards, and front-end design constraints (HTML/CSS awareness) is expected. Exceptional written and spoken English is required, as you will be designing for sophisticated international audiences.

Highly Valued

Experience in web design, complicated UX/UI, social media content creation, brand development for an international audience will be viewed favorably, as will familiarity with data-visualisation libraries and frameworks (D3.js, Chart.js, or similar) and the ability to brief developers on their implementation. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite alongside Figma is desirable. Diverse language skills are an advantage as the company expands its reach into Chinese-speaking markets. Experience designing for high-net-worth or institutional audiences is a strong differentiator. Prior experience working under a design lead within a structured team will help you ramp up quickly.

This Role is For You If…

You are a craft-focused designer who wants to do your best work as part of a small, ambitious team. You are excited by the challenge of making genuinely complex information feel simple, elegant, and trustworthy. You have an exceptional eye for design and the Figma skills to execute that vision at the highest level. You thrive in environments where you can work directly with experienced design leadership and have a real voice in the work. You understand that great UX for a consulting business is fundamentally different from consumer product design — it requires building trust, demonstrating expertise, and guiding users through consequential decisions. You have a portfolio you are proud of and ready to show.
