Job Description

Posted on: March 23, 2026

We're working with a boutique, design-led creative collective that bridges global reach with high-end heritage branding on this exciting opportunity. We are looking for a designer who doesn’t just make things look pretty, but actually understands how to build their vision from the ground up. If you are a Figma pro who is equally comfortable diving into custom WordPress builds with clean PHP and CSS, this is your chance to work with high-profile clients like the Design Museum and City of London. You’ll join a senior, remote-first team that values technical quality and thoughtful UX over burnout and frantic deadlines. The Role

  • Transform complex client briefs into polished, user-centric Figma designs and interactive prototypes.
  • Take full ownership of the front-end build, developing clean custom WordPress themes from scratch.
  • Build scalable design systems and reusable UI components using Gutenberg blocks and ACF (Advanced Custom Fields).
  • Bridge the gap between design and development by writing clean HTML, CSS, and PHP to ensure your vision is executed perfectly.
  • Collaborate with a senior team to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of web projects for diverse sectors including heritage, culture, and global commerce.

What You'll Need

  • Expert-level proficiency in Figma, including a deep understanding of layouts, components, and user flows.
  • Proven experience building bespoke WordPress themes from the ground up—no off-the-shelf templates here.
  • Strong technical skills in HTML5, CSS3, and PHP specifically for WordPress theming and customisation.
  • Experience with Gutenberg, ACF, and structured content to create flexible, future-proof websites.
  • A sharp eye for UX/UI design and the autonomy to manage your own workload in a fully remote environment.

What's On Offer

  • Highly competitive salary (£35k-£45k) with a sustainable 4.5-day working week (early finish Fridays!).
  • Fully remote setup with a top-tier hardware package, including a powerful Mac and dual-monitor setup.
  • An incredible annual all-expenses-paid team retreat to Portugal to connect with your colleagues.
  • A calm, senior-led working culture that provides clear scope to grow into a leadership or senior design role.
