- **Company:** GO UP LLC

- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Design Web Format, Design of User Interfaces, Responsive Web Design, Website Wireframe, Figma

## About the Role

You'll probably have around two to five years of professional UX/UI experience, ideally in an agency or a similarly busy commercial environment.

You should have:

 * A portfolio of commercial work showing strong visual design and the thinking behind it.
 * Experience taking briefs through stakeholder feedback, revisions and delivery.
 * A sound understanding of UX and UI principles, responsive design and accessibility.
 * Confidence using Figma or comparable design and prototyping tools.
 * The ability to explain your design decisions in relation to user needs and business goals.
 * Clear communication, good organisation and the confidence to ask questions or flag problems early.
 * The ability to manage your workload independently while collaborating with a manager based overseas.
 * Experience using AI tools and the judgement to recognise what works and what needs improving, alongside a willingness to experiment and keep learning.

We expect you to bring some hands-on experience using AI in your design workflow. Show us what it helped you achieve, what you needed to change and where your own design judgement made the difference. If your experience is still developing, we'd welcome examples from personal projects or experiments that demonstrate your approach.

Experience working with SEO specialists, designing around search intent or improving website conversions would be a strong advantage. You don't need to be an SEO expert, but you should be interested in how people discover websites as well as how they use them.

An understanding of branding, including how to use colour, typography and imagery to create a consistent visual identity, would also be an advantage as we take on more website design and build projects. If you have experience in this area, we'd love to see examples in your portfolio. This isn't essential for the role.

## Description

What you'll be doing

 * Designing websites, landing pages and improvements to existing client sites, from early wireframes through to polished UI and prototypes.
 * Turning business goals, user needs and search insights into clear journeys, intuitive navigation and effective page layouts.
 * Working with our Head of UX and SEO team to make content easy to discover, understand and act on.
 * Creating responsive, accessible designs with care for typography, spacing, hierarchy and interaction.
 * Developing reusable components, documenting design decisions and collaborating with developers through implementation.
*

 * Working through feedback and revisions, explaining your decisions and balancing priorities across clients.
 * Exploring AI tools for ideation, prototyping and production, applying your own judgement to refine the results.
 * Using existing research, user feedback and performance data to inform and improve designs, and identifying where further research or usability testing would be useful.
