Web Designer | Remote

Cuttlefish Digital is a start-up digital communications and campaigning agency. We develop and deliver creative digital campaigns for clients who work to speed up action on the climate crisis.  As part of a global network of communicators, researchers, marketers, and advocacy strategists, we work with purpose-driven organisations to campaign for climate action and clean energy.

ABOUT THE ROLE
To meet our fast-paced dynamic in crafting impactful  digital campaigns, we’re looking for a mid-level UX designer who can plan and produce visually-appealing landing page designs, as well as directly build it using a drag-and-drop builder such as WIX, Squarespace or Elementor.  To succeed in this role, the ideal candidate will be a creative person with exceptional design vision, proficient UX design skills and comfortable using a range of technologies to bring designs to life.

DUTIES
This is a new role within the Cuttlefish’s Creative team that reports to the Senior Creative Producer and directly collaborates with two graphic designers and a copywriter within a team.

The candidate’s primary duties include:
leading the creative direction, the design layout and the building of new landing pages; see past Cuttlefish's landing pages below as reference.
assisting with the UI and UX design needs of other existing Cuttlefish Digital websites

Depending on your skills and experience, your duties may also include:
liaising with other teams in Cuttlefish to integrate landing page properties with third-party applications such as social media platforms, analytics tools, testing tools and digital marketing platforms
leading bug testing and quality assurance processes
leading A/B testing on Cuttlefish’s landing pages and websites through a testing tool such as Google Optimize
assisting the Senior Creative Producer in managing Cuttlefish’s product subscriptions and accounts relating to website products such as domain, hosting server and email services.
assisting the Senior Creative Producer in liaising with an external web developer agency for maintenance and optimization for Cuttlefish's websites and landing pages product.

For creation of landing pages, developing a wireframe on a UI design tool such as Adobe XD or Figma would be optional.
