The role of a UI/UX Designer at BruntWork
We are looking for a UI/UX designer who can think, not just execute.
This is a part-time role to start, with a clear pathway to a long-term position for the right person.
We are open to mid-level or more senior designers.
We would rather pay a bit more for the right capability than compromise on quality.
The Role
You will work directly with senior leadership on projects across government, policy, and regulated environments. The work requires clarity of thinking, not just visual polish.
This includes:
- UI/UX design for web and digital platforms
- Bespoke illustration and visual systems (not template-based)
- Translating complex ideas into simple, elegant visuals
- Supporting web design thinking (structure, flow, usability)
- Contributing to video and motion outputs (editing or assembling content)
- Using AI tools to enhance output, not replace thinking
Tools & Capability
You should be comfortable across a modern design stack, including:
- Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
- Figma / Sketch
- Canva (used appropriately, not relied on)
- Procreate or similar illustration tools
- AI tools (e.g. Midjourney, Runway, Higgsfield or equivalent)
Bonus if you can:
- Edit or create video content (Premiere Pro, After Effects, CapCut, etc.)
- Work across web design principles (UX flows, responsive layouts, dev awareness)
What We Are Looking For
- Creative thinking: You can explain why a design works
- Originality: You create, not assemble
- Judgment: You know when to simplify
- Clarity: You can take complex material and make it understandable
- Adaptability: You are comfortable working across formats (web, visual systems, light motion)
- Project Management: you plan your work and work your plan
What We Are Not Looking For
- Designers who rely solely on templates like Canva but can add to them
- Designers who generate large volumes of AI outputs without clear thinking or connection
- Designers who need step-by-step direction for every task
Working Model
- Part-time to start
- Remote and flexible
- Trial period with clear potential to move into a long-term role
Hiring Process
We will assess candidates based on both portfolio and thinking.
Applicants must provide:
- A portfolio showing original work (including illustration and UI/UX)
- 2–3 examples explaining:
- The problem
- Your approach
- Why your solution works
- Any examples of video or motion work (if available)
Shortlisted candidates will complete a small paid test task, focused on:
- Interpreting a brief
- Producing a considered design
- Explaining their thinking
