Job Description
Digital Design at PA
We are a vibrant service and product design community of experts, with deep specialist practitioner skills across all parts of the design spectrum – covering research, design strategy and service design, UX/UI and IA, through to content, prototyping and movement.
We display a generalist attitude; an understanding of the whole design process, and can easily navigate, communicate and practice the full spectrum.
We are passionate about the possibilities for innovation between Strategy, Design and Front End. We're embedded in mixed discipline teams, are militantly collaborative and believe in continual learning and supportive peer review.
The Role
Designers work on the rapid delivery of user centred experience design across a variety of projects, clients and sectors. From strategic target customer experiences that help our clients reimagine their digital ecosystems; improvements to existing enterprise level design systems; to designing new products and services across web and native apps.
You will contribute to all aspects of our design work; producing UX & UI artefacts from sketches, maps and prototypes through to detailed product design. You will have meaningful input to client projects, deliver work with real impact and help shape our vibrant global design community.

Qualifications
As a Designer, you have some industry experience in producing UX and UI design to solve a range of client problems. You know a range of design tools, techniques and processes, and when to apply them.
