- Travel to client locations in Europe and the US as required.
What We're Looking For
- 3–4 years of experience as a UX/UI designer, with exposure to eCommerce or online retail.
- A solid understanding of accessibility, usability, and design systems.
- Familiarity with collaborative workflows across product, design, and engineering teams.
- A portfolio showcasing strong visual and interaction design skills.
- A collaborative approach to teamwork and problem-solving.
- Bonus: Experience contributing to workshops or applying Design Thinking methods.
Soft Skills
- Collaborative Spirit: Thrives in team settings, building strong relationships with cross-functional colleagues to achieve shared goals.

- User-Centric Mindset: Committed to designing experiences that genuinely address user pain points and exceed their expectations.
What you will gain
- The chance to work with a globally recognised brand on high-impact projects.
- A remote-first role with travel opportunities, offering flexibility and variety.
- Hands-on experience in evolving and implementing playbooks, governance frameworks, and collaborative workflows within a high-impact account.
