HEAD DIGITAL DESIGNER
Digital Designer Department
We are a creative and innovative online fashion retail company that is growing quickly. We are now looking for a Head of Digital Design to take responsibility for the design direction of Piccolini Boutique website.
This is a leadership level role, so we’re looking for someone with strong team management skills as well as demonstrable experience leading design direction, either in-house for a well known brand, or a similar role within a digital creative agency. The role will be hands-on, so you will be happy to get stuck in and lead the way with conceptual design where needed.
Also looking for someone keen to innovate in the online fashion retail sector, so you’ll be as comfortable coming up with ideas as you are leading UX and UI design. You will also be responsible for helping to continue to raise the bar from a UX and UI point of view across all our digital touch points, and will be integral in helping to shape our brand identity and visual direction.
As a talented digital designer, you will need to demonstrate a highly creative, progressive portfolio of work, as well as excellent attention to detail. You’ll also need to show you have a clear understanding of the fundamentals behind great UX and UI design as well as the ambition to innovate in this area, within the online retail sector.
You will need to be a super-confident communicator, both verbally and visually and have the capacity to motivate and inspire those around you. You may well be looking for a step up from a senior level design role, or for a change, but you will definitely be looking for a challenge and to deliver world class, user focused digital experiences.
