Jones Knowles Ritchie is a branding business, founded in 1990 and proudly independent ever since.
We started out in the world of packaging, but now we're worldwide—from three founders, to more than 350 of us across the UK, USA and China. Together, we build and deliver brands across the entire consumer experience.
But even more important than what we do, is why we do it. We're here to inspire brands and people to be their true selves. To be brave. Be tenacious. And above all, be yourself. Because we believe that's the only way to truly be distinctive, everywhere.
We are looking for a Senior UX/UI designer to join our busy team for a 12mth FTC starting in January 2026.

What You'll Do
Creativity that blends strategy, craft, and innovation.
A collaborative spirit — someone who slots into teams effortlessly.
Leadership by example: integrity, openness, and an ability to inspire.
A passion for pushing the boundaries of brand-driven digital design.
Our Commitment to Leadership & Inclusion
We believe leadership isn't tied to seniority — it's about mindset. We're looking for someone who brings curiosity, compassion, and confidence to the role. We're committed to building an equitable, diverse, and inclusive workplace that reflects the society we live in and the audiences we create for.
Benefits

- Design distinctive UI systems that translate brand identities into digital interfaces, bringing them to life with interaction, motion, and detail
- Collaborate cross-functionally with strategists, creatives, developers, and clients to deliver seamless, innovative outcomes
- Inspire and mentor designers, sharing knowledge and elevating the team's digital craft
- Represent design with authority in meetings and presentations, acting as both a leader and a brand guardian
- Proven experience as a Senior UX/UI Designer (agency or product background) with a strong portfolio spanning multiple platforms demonstrating your brand thinking and crafted executions
- Expertise across the UX toolkit: research, audits, personas, journeys, wireframes, flows, storyboards, prototyping
- A sharp eye for UI craft: distinctive digital design, interaction, design systems, templating, and atomic design
- Comfort with Figma, FigJam, Miro and other collaboration tools
- Front-end awareness — able to speak the language of developers and ensure design intent carries through
- Experience with motion and animation tools (e.g. After Effects, Jitter) to enhance user experiences
