Do you think you have what it takes to be a LEADOLOGIST™?

If so, we may have the perfect opening for you into our energetic agency, where we’re currently recruiting for a UX/UI Front End Web Designer.

Ideal candidates will have a keen eye for design and be experienced in using a suite of UX/UI designer tools and WordPress products.

This role will bridge the gap between graphic design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the website/application looks as well as how it works.

As a Front-End Developer you will work to balance marketing goals, client requests, performance considerations and usability into their finished products.

Experience:

• Design or technical discipline qualification, or comparable portfolio of work
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Well-practised in front-end development languages (JavaScript, HTML 5, CSS etc.)
• Capable of helping non-technical audiences understand complex technical jargon and concepts
• Can work independently as well as part of a team
• The ability to communicate complex information and ideas to colleagues and clients, and work to build consensus

Knowledge, Skill and Ability:

• Ensure all design elements, templates and finished solutions work with a variety of browsers and screens, along with the constraints set by responsive web design
• Strong working knowledge of various WordPress themes and plug-ins
• Strong communication skills
• Ability to self evaluate work
• Strong organisation skills, including ability to manage multiple projects and details simultaneously
• Regularly impart ideas to help us formulate our user experience and user interface design strategy
• Use different methods of user research, including contextual inquiry, user testing and experimental design
• Develop HTML/CSS/JavaScript code to build new CMS templates, as well as to enhance existing CMS templates
• Contribute design ideas, concepts and solutions
• Demonstrate high-skilled UI/UX design through storyboarding/workshops
• Team up with members of our development and design teams to develop, grow and sustain all new websites
• Implement industry standards and best practice to ensure a successfully functioning web development team
• Strong knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite
• Maintain brand consistency throughout all projects

Your Requirements:

*Please note that this role is primarily based in office.

What will you get in return? An awful lot, as it happens…

• A good salary with a yearly bonus if you help us achieve our ambitions
• Freedom to help shape the direction of the agency
• 30 days holiday + bank holidays
• A great location for commuting
• Free parking
• You get to work with a very friendly team!
• Plus, we have Aldi, Greggs, Burger King, B&M Bargains, Subway and more just across the road… if that helps
