Alchemy is a small, friendly team of experts with a reputation for designing and building world-class digital experiences. We pride ourselves on our strategy-led, performance-driven solutions and enduring client relationships, of which there are many. We’re looking for a talented senior UX/UI designer to join us at an exciting time, reinforcing and adding value to our creative team as it grows. The ideal candidate will have at least 5 years of experience in an agency setting, be well established and confident running projects on their own/taking ownership of their work. If you’re detail-oriented, collaborative and highly creative, someone who can make their mark and help shape the output of our agency, then this could be for you. You’ll get to design for a broad spectrum of clients and for projects delivered through various technologies, including WordPress, Headless, Framer and custom builds. We consider ourselves a great place to work, with a supportive team, varied client roster and an excellent work life balance. Evening and weekend work is actively discouraged, and hours are flexible to accommodate life commitments provided deadlines and standards don’t slip. We currently work remotely full time, but we meet for monthly socials, which can be anything from dinner to Oasis!
