• YouHere’s what we're looking for in our next Lead UI Designer:Experienced & Agency-Tested: You have a track record of delivering high-impact visual and UI work across a range of industries, in a fast-paced creative agency environment. You know how to navigate complexity and still produce exceptional output.
• Creative Authority: You set visual design direction with confidence. Your decisions are grounded in craft and strategic thinking, and you can bring a room with you - clients and collaborators alike. You have very strong communication skills and the ability to lead clients on a design journey.
• People Manager: You have direct experience managing designers. You give clear, constructive feedback, support people's development, and know how to get the best out of a team without micromanaging.
• Account Owner: You're comfortable leading client relationships - holding the big picture, managing expectations, and maintaining trust over the course of a project.
• New Business Minded: You understand the commercial side of a studio. You're interested in helping win work - whether that's contributing to proposals, showing up well in pitches, or spotting opportunities within existing accounts.
• Cross-Disciplinary & Motion-Capable: You have working knowledge of motion design and understand how it contributes to the overall experience - timing, transitions, and bringing UI to life across platforms. You work fluidly across disciplines, bridging visual craft with 3D, UX thinking, engineering constraints, and client strategy.
• AI-Fluent: You actively explore new AI tools and integrate them thoughtfully into your workflow - not for novelty, but to elevate speed, craft, and thinking. You also understand what it means to design for AI-driven experiences.
• Craft-Led: You're rigorous about detail, such as typography, hierarchy, layout, and interaction. Your standards are high and you hold others to them too.
• Adaptable: We iterate, test, and sometimes start again. At Lead level, that means staying steady under ambiguity and helping your team do the same.
• Passionate: A genuine passion for the work is essential. We believe the best creative leaders still care deeply about the craft itself.
