Design, working day to day across Technology/R&D and Web Development

Head of Creative Services

LOCOMOTIVE is an award-winning digital and creative agency with offices in Raleigh, North Carolina and Galway, Ireland. Our global teams are driven by a passion for innovation and excellence in marketing strategy and execution, empowering our client’s brands to reach their fullest potential through strategic growth initiatives and cutting-edge solutions.

If you are interested in working in a fast-paced, ambitious environment, which places an emphasis on strategic thinking and long-term customer value, we would love to hear from you.

Our Web, Research & Development, Data Science, Design and Digital teams work together to build effective websites, platforms and tools for our clients. We value technical quality, practical innovation, clear communication and taking ownership of the outcomes we deliver.

LOCOMOTIVE builds its own software, tools, and solutions internally. Our growing body of AI-powered web work and interactive content has reached a point where it needs a dedicated owner. This person sits within the Design team and works closely with Technology/R&D and Web Development to shape the user interfaces we build, and to extend that work into client-facing versions of our tools where a commercial opportunity exists.

This role is separate from the wider Design team’s day-to-day client work (brand, campaign, video, social, and print), which continues as it does today. Until now, design work for LOCOMOTIVE’s internal tools has been picked up ad hoc alongside client projects. That includes the design system, component library, and the user-facing documentation that keeps everything on brand. This role takes primary ownership of all of it.

You’ll primarily work on client AI-powered website designs, UI/UX, interactive content and interfaces for LOCOMOTIVE’s internally built software, website and tools, as well as the client-facing versions of that software where we’ve identified commercial opportunities. Alongside that, you’ll shape AI empowered web design work, moving between Figma and HTML to take concepts from first sketch to a build ready state in Word Press, Builder.io,

and similar platforms.

Your job is to be the connective tissue between design and UI/UX best practice and the needs of the product or website. You’ll sit within the Design team and report to the Head of Creative Services, giving you a home base in design craft and standards while your day to day focus runs through Technology/R&D and Web Development. Technology in this space moves quickly.

AI tooling, design systems, and web capabilities are all changing at a pace that rewards curiosity over certainty. We’re looking for someone who treats that as the interesting part of the job, not a disruption to it: someone who tests new tools before being asked to, questions their own assumptions, and adapts their process as the landscape shifts under them.

• Design UI/UX for LOCOMOTIVE’s internally built software solutions and other tools as the product set grows
• Extend that design work into client facing versions of internal tools where a commercial opportunity has been identified, adapting for external users and use cases
• Design AI-powered web experiences end to end, using Figma and prompt-based design tools to turn concepts directly into build-ready HTML/CSS for implementation in Word Press, Builder.io, and similar platforms
• Collaborate with Technology/R&D on product direction, feasibility, and the technical…
