There are no specific qualifications listed for this role. We are more interested in your experience and attitude than where you learned your skills.

Who we are

We are an independent digital and branding studio that enjoys creating solutions which actually work, for the most important organisations in our society. We are a proud B Corp – meaning we are legally bound to consider the wider implications of our work rather than just generate profit. Our clients are almost all charities, universities or social enterprises. See more about them here: https://www.williamjoseph.co.uk/work

We’re a small but effective team that collaborates constantly. We can handle complex briefs, because all our people operate at a high level, while being expert in the best practices that produce great creative work.

Who we’re looking for

We’re steadily growing our team and eager to bring on board new voices and perspectives.

As more and more of our work is being delivered through digital, we need a designer that is excited about creating modern, accessible, audience-led products and services for some of the most important organisations in our society.

Things you might find yourself doing

The main purpose of this role is to design user-centred digital products and services in partnership with clients to meet their organisational objectives. You will achieve this in a variety of ways:

• Working in sprints alongside a product manager and developers to define and deliver new products or iterations, based on real user insight.
• Observing user testing and contextual interviews, to identify improvements to existing designs.
• Participating in collaborative workshops to identify solutions for client challenges.
• Wireframing solutions to challenges based on a combination of audience insight, testing and workshop outputs.
• Working with a developer and product manager to balance client scope, budget and user needs as part of prioritisation
• Advocating for accessible design decisions and continuously improving your knowledge about best practice.

This doesn’t describe everything you might find yourself doing in the role, and we encourage you to apply even if you haven’t done some of this before.

We want to hear from you if you:

• Have a good understanding of layout, typography and hierarchy or experience of working with modular design systems.
• Are excited about using your design skills to develop user experiences that are accessible to everyone.
• Want to collaborate in order to create better solutions for people who do good in the world.
• Have an excitement for the new opportunities that digital can provide to our society.
• Want to progress your career in design by getting lots of experience working with many different clients.

– Ellie, Senior Product Manager

What our clients say about us:

“William Joseph are the first agency I’ve worked with that actually deliver what you need, give the right amount of challenge, and work in partnership with us as an extension of our team.”

“William Joseph have felt more like an extension of our team throughout the process; happy to challenge when needed but always pushing the project forward. We couldn’t be happier with the end result.”

• Flexible working approach – choose working patterns that suit you
• Fully remote (with occasional, planned visits to London office)
