We are seeking a Digital Designer (UX/UI) to support a high-priority, large-scale digital transformation programme. This role will play a key part in the evolution of a large, content-rich global website, working within an established design system and CMS environment (AEM). This role focuses on delivering clear, effective user experiences and high-quality visual outputs within a structured, component-based framework.

Working closely with the Creative Lead and broader programme team, you will translate complex business and product requirements into intuitive, visually engaging digital experiences across multiple site sections.

• Translate complex business and product requirements into clear user journeys, wireframes, and high-fidelity designs
• Create clean, modern page layouts for the refined website.
• Design visual elements such as icons, banners, graphics, and imagery for use across the site.
• Develop consistent styles for colours, typography, spacing, and components.
• Turn wireframes or content outlines into polished, visually appealing page designs.
• Ensure all designs follow brand guidelines and feel cohesive across the whole site.
• Prepare final design assets in web ready formats for the development team.
• Work with developers to ensure the design looks correct once built.
• Simplify complex information into clear, easy to read visual layouts.

• Operating at a mid level in UX/UI or digital product design, with a strong portfolio of complex web or platform work.
• Proven ability to own design workstreams end-to-end in fast-paced, multi-stakeholder environments.
• Strong experience working within design systems and component-based design frameworks.
• Demonstrated experience designing for large-scale, CMS-driven websites or digital platforms (AEM preferred).
• Strong UX thinking combined with excellent UI craft (layout, typography, hierarchy).
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams including product, engineering, and creative.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver within phased or agile delivery environments.
• Proficiency in Figma (essential) and standard digital design tools.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high-quality, scalable design.
