UI Designer

About the role

Monks is seeking an experienced, thoughtful, and hands-on UI Designer to lead the creation of exceptional digital products and design systems for some of the world's highest-profile brands. In this role, you won't just be "making things look pretty." You will be the architect of a major platform migration and component library overhaul for a large Fashion & Luxury brand. We need someone who has a deep love for design foundations and the technical rigor to build scalable systems that last. AI is at the forefront of our team processes and is used as a powerful design tool - curiosity and innovation are part of our DNA.

Responsibilities

• Problem-Solve: Employ your problem-solving skills and full stack of design solutions to guide projects from start, finish and everywhere in between to ensure the highest quality of the delivery.
• Collaborate: Tackle high-end projects in collaboration with colleagues and clients alike.
• Contribute to process: Based on your experience and expertise, you can judge the quality of the user experience, and explain what needs to be achieved to make it better.
• Maintain Quality: Continuously enhance and push towards industry-leading execution, from concept through realisation.
• Audit & Strategise: Perform initial audits of existing web ecosystems to inform business requirements. You will determine the most efficient approach for delivering new component libraries and defining complex migration strategies.
• System Architecture: Establish the initial design library template frameworks from the ground up, ensuring they are flexible, scalable, and technically sound.
• Stakeholder Facilitation: Lead and facilitate workshops with brand stakeholders to extract core brand guidelines and translate them into digital-first design principles.
• Prototyping: Deliver high-fidelity, fully designed Figma prototypes that serve as the "North Star" for our development teams.
• Narrative Building: Shape and articulate convincing creative narratives and critical design rationale. You'll present with passion to both internal teams and external stakeholders, substantiating your work with logic and data.

Requirements

• Experience: ~5+ years of relevant experience in digital design (web, app, and mobile). You have a portfolio that proves your visual prowess and your ability to handle complex system design.
• Precision: A thorough understanding of design fundamentals-typography, interaction design, usability, grid systems, and color theory. You notice the pixel that's out of place before anyone else does.
• Tooling Mastery: Expert-level command of Figma and Adobe Creative Suite. You are also expected to have a strong drive to master emerging AI tools (such as Firefly, Claude Design, Claude Code, Chat GPT, Gemini) to optimise your workflow.
• Organisation: You are "system-minded." You know how to organise files, layers, and documentation so that any designer or developer can jump in without getting lost.
• Soft Skills: Strong communication skills and a "feel" for the politics of advertising. You understand that the best work comes from a mix of healthy critique and team kudos
