We’re looking for someone who is:

Comfortable with a flexible schedule, specifically working 2pm – 10pm (UK time) at points during the week to align with US business hours.
An experienced Digital Designer with a strong portfolio showcasing a diverse range of digital projects, such as websites, landing pages, and campaigns.

Masterful with industry-standard design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma) and skilled in animation, motion graphics, or video editing.
Deeply knowledgeable about design principles, typography, colour theory, and visual hierarchy, with a solid understanding of UX/UI standards.
Proactive and adaptable, with a track record of creatively overcoming design and technical challenges in a deadline-driven environment.
