Office-based in Belfast (this is not a remote role).

Building client websites end to end. You'll handle design, build, and delivery across multiple active projects, working on real briefs for real businesses across Northern Ireland and beyond.

Alongside the web work, you'll produce the visual assets that go with it. Brand identities, campaign visuals, social graphics, ad creative, brochures, and digital-first design systems.

We have a full pipeline running, so this is a busy role from day one. The right person will be confident taking a concept from initial sketch through to polished, final delivery.

We're an AI‑first agency. AI is built into how we design, build, and deliver across the business.

The role uses AI to enhance the work, not replace the designer. That includes mood boarding, concept exploration, layout iteration, asset generation, copy drafts, code troubleshooting, and generating site sections  expect the person in this role to use AI tools daily and to bring new tools and approaches to the team as they emerge.

The craft still matters. AI helps you produce more and produce it faster, but the judgement, the eye, and the final quality control are yours.

Word Press runs most of our client work, so strong Word Press experience is essential. Around that, we use a range of builders and design tools depending on the project. We're not tied to any single tool, and we expect new hires to be comfortable picking up new platforms quickly.
