Job Description
We're looking for an Interaction Designer to join our team. You might currently call yourself a UI designer, Digital Designer or a "graphic designer who does digital".
You will design beautiful and engaging experiences for screens and beyond. You will champion great visual, interaction and communication design on projects of any size: defining the aesthetic of brands, campaigns, websites and apps. You’ll tread new visual ground, rapidly prototype and test interface ideas, design the states in between screens, and create sound, elegant design systems.

About the role
Our interaction designers define and design the aesthetic and interactions that make an experience engaging and usable; collaborating with technology, strategy, content and delivery to bring that experience to life. Your individual creative process is your most powerful tool. You will guide users, collaborators and clients through that process, helping them through ambiguity toward clarity.
You’ll be an integral part of a multidisciplinary team of producers, designers, strategists and technologists working on impactful projects across public service, non-profits, education, philanthropy, climate and more.

A note to readers
Research indicates that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalised people tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes to do the role, but don't necessarily meet every single criteria, please get in touch. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.
