The Role

Tribe is a leading ecommerce agency working with challenger brands across food, drink, beauty and wellness. Our design work spans everything from brand refinement sprints to new website builds, through to marketing materials including email and paid media assets.

You’ll need deep, hands-on Figma expertise (non-negotiable) and a genuine interest in consumer brands and ecommerce, ideally with direct experience designing for DTC or challenger brands. You’ll report into the Head of Design, working alongside another Senior Designer, a Mid-weight Designer and a Junior Designer.

The Role Includes, But Is Not Limited To

• Create highly creative and compelling visual content across digital design platforms and print media when required.
• Create web design frameworks such as wireframes, mockups and prototypes (web and mobile interfaces).
• Identify challenges regarding design output and provide elegant solutions.
• Challenge and help shape creative briefs to ensure creative output meets the client’s needs and expectations.
• Genuinely love the brands you work on, ensuring their guidelines are upheld and consistently applied across every touchpoint.
• Bring ideas, not just execution, with a high level of attention to detail across every piece of work.
• Continuously improve and optimise your own design process to ensure projects are delivered within agreed timeframes to a high standard.
• Support the Growth Team with production of paid media and email assets.
• Collaborate with the Build Team to create exceptional websites with best practice user experience and interface design.
• Proactively build relationships with the marketing and development teams to ensure consistency with client objectives and deliverables.
• Communicate with Account Management on project status and potential bottlenecks to ensure projects are on time, designs are high quality and client expectations are met.
• Manage your own schedule and workload, working with Account Management to hit client timelines.
• Represent design in client kick-off calls, presentations, reviews and pitches.
• Ensure creative briefing docs are complete and concise, with all relevant docs and assets available before creative work commences.
• Run thorough aesthetic QA on developed sites to ensure your designs are precisely and effectively transferred to the final build.
• Stay on top of current design trends, tools, techniques and competitor activity to inform your own work and keep us ahead in our sector.
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• Expert-level Figma skills — component libraries, auto-layout, variants, prototyping. You should be able to build and maintain a scalable design system, not just use one.
• Strong portfolio of ecommerce and consumer brand work. Shopify experience is a strong plus.
• Genuine interest in the DTC and consumer goods space. You follow the brands and have opinions on what makes a challenger brand stand out.
• Confidence presenting and defending design decisions directly to clients.
• Experience across both website and paid media / email design, understanding how one informs the other.
  
  

Location: Our HQ is based in Exeter, Devon – we would love to have someone who wants to be based with the rest of the design team in our office but we’re equally open to UK based remote work options – provided they are commutable distances to either London or Exeter for at least quarterly in-person meet ups. Many of our team are based across London, Bristol, Exeter and Cornwall.
