Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Creative Designer specializing in UI/UX to oversee the user experience design for our talent show feature within a social application. This position entails full ownership over the visual aesthetics, user interface, and user journey — from initial wireframing to pixel-perfect, animated final designs. The successful candidate will craft engaging and intuitive flows for the UK Gen Z audience, covering discovery, participation, viewing, voting, and sharing in the talent show context. A strong balance between usability, accessibility, trend awareness, and brand expression is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the comprehensive design process for the in-app talent show, including user entry, contestant and voting pathways, live episode interfaces, leaderboards, and sharing capabilities.
• Create polished, high-fidelity user interfaces for mobile platforms, progressing from wireframes and interactive prototypes to finalized, developer-ready screens.
• Incorporate insights into UK Gen Z behaviors, platforms, and cultural nuances to develop interfaces that resonate authentically with the target demographic.
• Develop and upkeep scalable design systems, component libraries, and UI standards specific to the talent show segment.
• Enhance interfaces with purposeful motion design, micro-interactions, and smooth transitions, focusing particularly on voting mechanisms, results, and live event features.
• Collaborate closely with product management, engineering, and marketing teams to deliver aesthetically appealing, functional, and brand-aligned outputs.
• Conduct lightweight usability tests, analyze findings, and iterate designs promptly based on user feedback.
• Design social-first and promotional materials that attract users to the program, including landing pages, event invitations, and launch assets.

Candidate Profile

• A strong portfolio showcasing delivered digital products with clear UX strategy and exceptional visual design.
• In-depth, up-to-date knowledge of the UK Gen Z market, understanding their platforms, design aesthetics, cultural references, and behaviors.
• Experience working across multiple sectors, preferably technology/IT and consumer-facing brands.
• Deep understanding of brand identity and how user experiences reinforce and reflect branding beyond mere functionality.
• Proficiency in Figma, including prototyping and design system tools.
• Solid foundation in interaction design principles, information architecture, responsive layouts, and accessibility standards (such as WCAG).
• A collaborative and iterative approach to design, capable of offering and integrating constructive critique while maintaining high quality under fast-paced conditions.

Additional Desirable Skills

• Experience designing for Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising formats and an understanding of large-scale visual impact.
• Skills in video production, motion graphics, or animation for social media and product content.
• Design experience tailored to social media platforms popular with Gen Z, including TikTok and Instagram.
• Basic front-end development knowledge, familiar with HTML/CSS and build feasibility.
• Exposure to brand identity creation, typography systems, or overall brand design projects.
