Your portfolio should prioritize your UI thinking: demonstrate how you structure a design system, manage component states, and facilitate developer handoff. Then, showcase your range, including campaign work, brand thinking, and smart integration of AI into your process. Case studies that detail the structure of a Figma file, beyond just finished screens, will be highly regarded. * Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro. * An open mindset towards diverse tools beyond traditional suites, such as Canva or Affinity Designer, prioritizing the best result. * Active engagement with AI tools to enhance and push creative boundaries. * Comfort with a component-based, token-driven approach, demonstrating an understanding of how design decisions scale. * Confidence in motion and video, with the ability to concept and produce content that is dynamic and visually appealing. * A systems thinker first, understanding the ripple effect of design decisions across an entire product or brand. * Digital-first by instinct, thinking in terms of channels, formats, and interactions, not just visuals. * Sharp enough to balance bold, innovative ideas with practical, effective solutions. * Genuine curiosity about new tools, driven by passion rather than obligation. * An easy-to-work-with demeanor, building strong relationships and thoroughly understanding briefs. * A confident communicator, articulate in both words and craft. * Commitment to delivering high-quality work from concept through to completion. What Will Set You Apart * Experience with large brand or enterprise projects, especially those with an international dimension. * Previous experience within the specialized industry ecosystem or a genuine interest in it. * Foundational understanding of front-end basics, enough to grasp how your design decisions translate into code. * Experience building a design system from the ground up, rather than just inheriting an existing one. * Practical knowledge of digital accessibility standards. * Experience prototyping and presenting concepts interactively. ## Description This is an unparalleled opportunity to join a forward-thinking team as a visionary leader, where you will profoundly impact the digital creative landscape. As a key contributor, you will own the digital creative output, setting the gold standard for design and build across every touchpoint, from intricate component systems to compelling campaign assets. Your influence will extend far beyond individual contributions, driving the evolution of digital capabilities and ensuring creative work performs as brilliantly as it looks for leading brands within a dynamic industry. This role offers the chance to truly shape the organization's approach to digital creative as the team grows, bringing precision and innovative thinking to every project. What You'll Do * Lead UI/UX and interface design across web and digital products for a diverse portfolio of international and growing clients. * Build scalable design systems with a true variables mindset, encompassing components, tokens, theming, and structure that stands the test of scale. * Ensure precise handoff of UI/UX work to the development team, translating design intent into flawless execution. * Drive digital creative output for brand and campaign projects across all digital channels. * Collaborate closely with the digital marketing team to ensure creative solutions are not only visually stunning but also highly performant. * Leverage AI and emerging tools as genuine creative accelerators, pushing boundaries beyond mere novelty. * Present ideas with clarity and confidence to clients and stakeholders at every level. * Shape the organization's approach to digital creative, extending your influence beyond your direct output as the team grows. ## Related Videos - [Building a component library for modern challenges](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/650-building-a-component-library-for-modern-challenges) - [Boost Productivity with AI: Figma & Playwright MCP Workflows - Aris Markogiannakis](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1768-boost-productivity-with-ai-figma-playwright-mcp-workflows-aris-markogiannakis) - [Learn Enough Design to Be Dangerous](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/577-learn-enough-design-to-be-dangerous) - [Fireside Chat with Kris Rasmussen, CTO at Figma](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/982-fireside-chat-with-kris-rasmussen-cto-at-figma) - [Preventing Accessibility Issues Instead Of Fixing Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/804-preventing-accessibility-issues-instead-of-fixing-them) - [Designing the Future of Human<>Agent Collaboration](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1447-designing-the-future-of-human-agent-collaboration) ## Related Articles - [How Developers Can Focus on Maintaining Satisfaction With Accessibility](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/109-how-developers-can-focus-on-maintaining-satisfaction-with-accessibility) - [10 Essential Figma Plugins for Frontend Developers in 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/262-10-essential-figma-plugins-for-frontend-developers-in-2023) - [16 Best Free React UI Libraries in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/148-16-best-free-react-ui-libraries-in-2025) - [The future is here: How artificial intelligence is influencing UX design](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/65-the-future-is-here-how-artificial-intelligence-is-influencing-ux-design) - [Top 5 Web Design Trends for 2023](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/155-top-5-web-design-trends-for-2023) - [Declarative Design and a fresh take on collaboration with developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/595-declarative-design-and-a-fresh-take-on-collaboration-with-developers)
