We are seeking a Senior UI Designer with strong expertise in website design, UI/UX, and creative development.

This is a full-time, fully onsite role based at Cebu Business Park (CBP), Cebu City, supporting an Australian digital agency. The position follows a fixed day shift schedule, with working hours aligned with the Australian team's business hours.

Your Client

You’ll be supporting an established Australian digital agency specialising in website design and digital solutions for not-for-profit, healthcare, education, government, and purpose-driven organisations. The agency focuses on creating distinctive, accessible, and effective websites that help organisations communicate their purpose, build trust with their audiences, and inspire meaningful action.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Must Have:

At least 6 years of relevant experience in UI design, web design, or a similar senior creative design role, with demonstrated ability to independently lead creative projects.

Strong UX literacy, content awareness, technical feasibility judgement, and ability to collaborate effectively with developers.
Excellent spoken and written English, confidence presenting to Australian clients, and sensitivity to Australian audiences and tone.
Strong ownership, initiative, attention to detail, and independent problem-solving; capability demonstrated through work rather than a fixed number of years.

Desirable:

Experience with Australian clients, agencies, not-for-profit organisations, healthcare, education, disability, government, or community services.
Experience working with lived-experience stakeholders or on trauma-informed and culturally sensitive digital projects.
Familiarity with WordPress, Gutenberg, or other component-based content management systems.
Advanced motion design or animation production, relevant Adobe Creative Cloud tools, and ecommerce projects.
Recognised work, award entries, or shortlistings with a verifiable personal contribution.

Work closely with Project Managers, UX Designers, Account Managers, developers, and clients to support smooth project delivery.
Present design concepts, explain creative decisions, and respond constructively to feedback.
