Junior Web Designer

We are looking for a Junior Web Designer to translate quantitative insights into clear, functional digital tools. This position supports our current work for a major Dutch logistics firm that is looking to clarify its internal reporting and commercial decision-making interfaces.

About Blue Oak Consulting
Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional consulting firm focused on broad transformation programs or high level strategy decks. Instead, we interrogate specific commercial decisions where the financial stakes are high and the existing narrative is not sufficient. Our team looks past corporate language and P&L complexity to identify where value is leaking or capital is trapped. We work across sectors like software, manufacturing, and healthcare to test whether the assumptions behind a growth plan or an acquisition actually hold under pressure.
We are a small, principal led firm where the people who do the work are the ones accountable for the results. We do not take transaction contingent fees, which allows us to be completely honest about whether the economics of a decision make sense. Our goal is to provide clarity through financial discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism. We stay through the execution phase because decisions that look sound in theory often fail when they meet real world friction.

The Role
This is a remote role for a designer who prefers logic and clarity over visual decoration. You will be working directly with our principals to build interfaces that help clients understand their own financial data. Because we are a small firm, you will see exactly how your designs contribute to the final advice we provide to a partner like the Dutch logistics firm we are currently assisting. This is a chance to apply design thinking to practical, high-stakes finance without the fluff of a typical agency environment.

What You Will Be Doing

• Drafting wireframes for internal tools and client-facing dashboards used for pricing analysis.
• Simplifying complex financial tables and charts into formats that are easy to read and interpret.
• Building functional prototypes to test how users interact with logistics and pricing data.
• Maintaining and updating our digital presence to reflect our focus on discipline and skepticism.
• Working closely with consultants to ensure the data is presented accurately without visual distortion.
• Managing design kits to ensure consistency across different client projects and reports.
• Reviewing user feedback from the logistics firm to improve the navigation of internal data tools.
• Removing unnecessary visual clutter to focus the user on critical financial metrics.

What You Bring

• A strong interest in UI/UX design and the basic principles of information architecture.
• Proficiency with design tools such as Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Basic understanding of HTML and CSS to ensure your designs are technically feasible.
• A degree in web design, graphic design, or a related field, or equivalent project work.
• The ability to take a skeptical look at a layout and remove elements that do not add clarity.
• Comfort working in a fully remote environment with regular video check-ins.
• A clear portfolio that shows your thought process and how you solve logical problems.
• Attention to detail when handling numerical data and complex charts.

What We Offer

• Full-time, permanent position with a competitive pay structure that is attractive for this entry-level role.
• A fully remote work environment that provides flexibility in how you manage your day.
• Direct access to firm principals who will provide mentorship on both design and business economics.
• The chance to work on high-stakes projects for large international organizations.
• A culture that values honesty, direct communication, and financial discipline.
• Training and support as you learn to apply design skills to the field of financial advisory.

Our firm is built on the idea that logic should always come before narrative. We apply this to everything we do, including how we present information to our clients. In this role, you will be expected to defend your design choices based on how well they serve the facts, not just how they look. We want people who are curious about how a business actually functions and who are willing to ask why a specific piece of information belongs on the screen.
