Digital UX/UI Designer

WE ARE HIRING 🎨

UI/UX Web Designer
Cape Town

In office with one work from home day

We is looking for a junior/mid level UI/UX Web Designer who understands that design is not decoration. It is strategy. It is flow. It is behaviour. It is knowing exactly where a user will hesitate and fixing it before they do.

If your background is mainly advertising and campaign visuals, this is probably not your role.
If your strength is web UI, UX thinking, ecommerce journeys and beautifully structured Figma systems, keep reading.

You will be joining our digital team at Head Office and reporting into the Digital Manager and Senior Designer. You will work across our retail and ecommerce portfolio, which means real platforms, real traffic and real impact. This is not brochure website work. This is conversion focused, performance driven design.

You need to be comfortable working independently. There is trust here, but with that comes ownership. You may collaborate with Edward, but you must be able to drive your own projects and make confident design decisions.

The work itself is hands on and varied. You will be conceptualising and designing ecommerce landing pages, refining and building platform UI, creating email templates and managing UI guidelines. On the UX side, you will map and improve user flows, analyse website performance and continuously suggest improvements that move the business forward.

We are looking for someone with three to five years experience specifically in web UI and UX, with at least two solid years in web design. Ecommerce experience is essential. Agency experience is highly preferred because it shows you can manage multiple brands and deadlines. Your Figma portfolio needs to demonstrate thinking, initiative and problem solving, not just pretty screens. Wireframing and prototyping should feel natural to you. A basic understanding of HTML and CSS and comfort working in Jira will go a long way.

This team is creative, hands on and fast paced. There is no micromanagement, but there is expectation. We want someone detail focused, organised and confident enough to take initiative.

The interview process is straightforward. First, a conversation with the Senior Designer. Second, a UI design challenge so we can see how your brain works.

If clean component systems make you happy
If messy UX genuinely frustrates you
If your Figma files are organised and structured properly

Then this might be your role.

Let’s build digital experiences that actually work!
