About Zymix
Zymix is the definitive lifestyle ecosystem for the digital generation, bridging the gap between social connection and real-world experience. We are redefining the platform economy by prioritising authenticity, community, and friction-free living.
About the role
We're looking for a Creative Designer (UI/UX) to lead the experience design for our talent show program inside a social app. You'll own the look, feel and flow of that program — from first wireframe to pixel-perfect, motion-aware interface — designing how UK Gen Z discovers, joins, watches, votes and shares within the show. This is a hands-on role for someone who cares as much about usability and accessibility as they do about trend, taste and brand expression.
What you'll do
- Lead end-to-end experience design for the in-app talent show program: entry flows, contestant and voting journeys, live/episode surfaces, leaderboards and sharing.
- Design polished high-fidelity UI for mobile, from wireframes and interactive prototypes to final, buildable screens.
- Translate insight about UK Gen Z behaviour, platforms and culture into interfaces that feel native to that audience.
- Build and maintain scalable design systems, component libraries and UI guidelines for the program.
- Bring interfaces to life with thoughtful motion, micro-interactions and transitions — especially around voting, results and live moments.
- Partner closely with product, engineering and marketing to ship work that's beautiful, functional and on-brand.
- Run and interpret lightweight usability testing, then iterate quickly on what you learn.
- Design the social-first and go-to-market surfaces that drive people into the program — landing pages, invites and launch moments.
What we're looking for
- Strong portfolio showing shipped digital products with clear UX thinking and standout visual craft.
- Deep, current understanding of the UK Gen Z market — the platforms, aesthetics, references and behaviours that resonate.
- Experience designing across more than one sector — ideally including technology / IT and consumer / consumer-facing brands.
- Real brand awareness: you understand how a product experience carries and strengthens a brand, not just how it functions.
- Fluency in Figma (and comfort with prototyping and design-system tooling).
- Solid grasp of interaction design, information architecture, responsive design and accessibility (WCAG) fundamentals.
- A collaborative, iterative mindset — comfortable giving and receiving critique and working fast without losing quality.
Nice to have
- OOH design experience — you've designed for out-of-home / outdoor formats and understand impact at scale.
- Video & motion — you can create video creative, motion graphics or animated content for social and product.
- Social-first thinking — experience designing for TikTok, Instagram and other Gen Z-heavy platforms.
- Front-end literacy — a working understanding of HTML/CSS and what's feasible to build.
- Brand & identity — exposure to visual identity, typography systems or brand design projects.
Why join us
- Build a category-defining product for UK and European Gen-Z from day one.
- Small senior team, direct access to leadership, fast decision-making.
- Private healthcare through AXA from day 1. Including group income protection and group life cover.
- Vibrant Soho office with free breakfast and afternoon snacks, weekly happy hour & more.
- Competitive salary (DOE) + benefits package.
