Junior UI Designer

at  Apparent Communications

We’re looking for a Junior UI Designer who wants an amazing opportunity to work within a highly talented creative team on a leading global tech brand. You will be involved from the very start of projects through to development handoff.
You’ll collaborate with strategists, writers, animators, developers, producers, and clients to help the team deliver immersive web experiences, build and maintain design systems, and everything in between.
While we operate at a global level, we maintain a start-up culture within an environment that is social, fun, and engaging, in a warehouse-style office space that is full of natural light.
Being a people first culture, we offer flexibility, growth planning, and training along with an amazing well-being program of work, summer days off, and loads of learning opportunities and benefits.
We encourage an entrepreneurial mindset where we drive innovation and continuous improvement, and we always show tremendous pride in our work.
This is a permanent role.
Allow us to introduce ourselves
We’re Apparent, a full-service, independent agency made up of 140 thinkers, creators and solution-makers doing what we do best. One thing you should know about us: we’ve got an entrepreneurial spirit, and we know the work worth doing doesn’t fit into neat, tidy boxes. And neither should you, for that matter.
Our warehouse space in Redfern is here for you to gather, make stuff you’re proud of and grow your strengths (even if they have nothing to do with your job description).
We punch well above our weight, with some of the biggest clients in the world on our roster, from tech giants like Google and IBM, to local icons like Tourism Australia and Cricket Australia.
Our approach? We call it the red thread. In other words, it’s the thing that connects everything we do, from the customer, through to the client and brand. On any given day you can expect to cross paths with someone in strategy, brand, creative, content production, social media, UX/UI, technology and media planning and buying. Oh and dogs, too. You’ll definitely cross paths with adorable dogs.

A few things you’ll like about working here:

• A flexible and hybrid working policy
• Generous parental leave and summer days off
• Heaps of growth and training opportunities
• 24/7 access to our employee assistance program for you and your family

SKILL SET REQUIRED:

• 3-4 years experience as an integrated campaign producer from an agency background
• First-rate project management skills with an ability to manage multiple projects at once
• Outstanding attention to detail, loads of initiative and motivation to learn new tools
• To be eager to grow and expand your production skills
• To follow robust Production processes with the aim of delivering all your projects on time and on budget.
• Strong creative problem solving and organisational skills
• Experience with workflow management tools such as JIRA, Frame IO is a plus.

SOFTWARE SKILLS:

• We use Figma, so basic experience is required (or Adobe XD or Sketch, with the intention to learn Figma).
• Basic experience using After Effects, or CSS and HTML is a bonus.
