  • Ensure pixel-perfect attention to detail across typography, spacing, colour and layout.
  • Design information architecture (content structure and UX) so our sites are intuitive and easy to navigate.
  • Work closely with developers and internal stakeholders to deliver changes quickly and clearly.
  • Gather requirements from users and colleagues, translate them into practical implementation plans.
• Quality, Performance and Reliability
  • Debug and fix issues in existing projects, taking a root-cause approach.
  • Run performance benchmarking tests and optimise code to improve speed and efficiency.
  • Test new features thoroughly to ensure they work correctly in all cases.
• Stay Current and Improve How We Work

  • Research and use open-source projects where appropriate and contribute back when valuable.
  • Review colleagues' code when needed and help raise quality standards across the team.
• Embrace AI and Improve Content Workflows
  • Use AI tools to accelerate content creation, copywriting and design iteration.
  • Identify opportunities to streamline how we build and update website content.
  • Experiment with new AI-assisted workflows and share what works with the team.
  • Help shape our processes for creating, reviewing and publishing web content more efficiently.

Who We're Looking For

A creative, detail-driven builder who combines strong design sensibility with solid technical skills. You'll take ownership of our websites, ship improvements quickly, and ensure everything we publish looks polished and performs well.

• Ability to write clean, efficient code and maintain it over time.
• A strong eye for design with attention to detail in typography, spacing, colour and layout.
