We’re seeking a UI designer that is comfortable designing branded site experiences from campaign pages, to web apps, to Software-as-a-service dashboards.
As a Digital UI Designer, you will work within a User Experience and Design team to design customer-facing data ordering and fulfilment systems, and web-based mapping tools built for our Government and Business customers.
You will also contribute to the management of our design system and liaise with the Brand team to ensure brand consistency across the interfaces we build for ourselves and our customers.
The role will also require you to rapidly iterate designs based on feedback to produce production ready finished products into product development teams so you will be experienced in managing design processes end to end within an Agile / Sprint development process.
You’ll be joining a team that combines UX and UI design disciplines into a single team to offer a unified design offering to the organisation.

- Incorporating customer feedback, usage metrics, and usability findings into design in order to enhance user experience
- Presenting ideas, concepts and design solutions to various stakeholders incorporating feedback in your designs
