Web Designer (Dealer Websites) in Manchester

A Web Designer at Car Finance 247 is a passionate designer with an eye for modern, stylish web design and a strong interest in current web trends and best practices. You’ll be advanced in design platforms like Figma, with a solid working knowledge of HTML and Tailwind CSS so your designs translate cleanly into code.

This role is ideal for a mid to senior level designer who enjoys owning their work end-to-end, from initial concept and Figma design through to a working prototype and hand-off. You care deeply about visual craft, consistency, accessibility, and usability, and you’re motivated by building things the right way, not just the fastest way. You’ll thrive in an environment that values clear thinking, thoughtful collaboration, and meaningful outcomes over simply shipping tickets.

You’ll be designing and growing a library of modern, stylish website templates that we offer to dealers who choose to take a website with us. From first concept in Figma through to working HTML and Tailwind prototypes, you’ll create templates that are responsive, accessible, and easy for our front-end engineers to build in code. A portfolio that proves your design strengths is essential, and there’s plenty of opportunity to shape the design direction of the template library from day one.

We’re pushing big into AI-driven development, so a genuine enthusiasm for AI tooling is a must – you’ll use AI throughout the design process to multiply your output and deliver several templates at pace. You’ll collaborate closely with front-end engineers, product managers, and other designers, playing an active role in shaping solutions. In return, you’ll be supported to develop your skills, explore new technologies, and grow your career within a team that genuinely values quality, curiosity, and continuous improvement.

Our Web Designers don’t just produce mock-ups – they actively shape the products their designs become. From initial concept through to production, you’ll take ownership of your work, contributing to design direction, prototyping, and delivery to create meaningful, high-quality templates.
