1What this role really is

You'll be joining our Marketing team as a Junior UI Designer, helping us make sure everything we put out there looks brilliant and works smoothly. This role is all about learning the ropes, getting hands-on with real projects, and making sure our digital marketing materials—think landing pages, emails, and social ads—are visually consistent and easy for our customers to use. You'll work closely with more experienced designers, learning from their expertise and contributing to our overall brand presence. It’s a fantastic spot to kick-start your career in digital design within a fast-paced marketing environment.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

FigmaIntermediate

Creating layouts, using existing components, prototyping basic user flows for landing pages and emails, preparing files for developer handoff. You'll be in Figma most of the day.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator)Intermediate

Editing photos, creating vector icons, preparing and optimising assets (like banners or social graphics) for web and digital use, working within established brand guidelines.

Hotjar / Crazy EggBasic

Reviewing heatmaps and session recordings to identify obvious user friction points on pages you've designed. You'll use this to understand basic user behaviour.

Jira / Asana (or similar PM tool)User

Managing your personal design tasks, providing updates on progress, attaching design files, and operating within the team's existing workflow. You'll keep your tickets up-to-date.

Miro / FigJamParticipant

Contributing to brainstorming sessions, user flow mapping exercises, or design critiques led by your Senior Designer. You'll add your ideas and sticky notes.

Google Analytics (GA4)Basic

Understanding core metrics like Bounce Rate, Time on Page, and Conversion Rate for the specific pages or campaigns you've designed. You'll know if your work is having an impact.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Design Direction for New CampaignPropose initial visual concepts based on a brief, but all final decisions on direction are made by the Senior Designer and Marketing Manager.Propose and refine design directions, with final approval from Marketing Manager and Senior Designer. You'll have more input.Define and lead the design direction for major campaigns, presenting to Marketing Leadership for strategic alignment.
Component Usage/CreationUse existing components from the design system. If a new component is needed, you'll flag it to your Senior Designer for creation/approval.Create new components or variants within the existing design system, subject to review and approval by the Senior Designer.Design, document, and implement new core components for the design system, setting standards for the team.
Project Deadlines & PrioritisationFollow deadlines set by your Senior Designer. If you foresee a delay, you must escalate immediately.Manage your own project deadlines for assigned tasks, escalating to your manager if conflicts arise. You'll help estimate your own work.Negotiate and set deadlines for your workstreams, often managing multiple projects and helping to prioritise for junior designers.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Asset Delivery Rate
The percentage of assigned design assets (e.g., social media graphics, email banners, landing page sections) that are completed and delivered by their agreed-upon deadline.
Target · 95%+ on-time delivery

If you're given 10 assets to create in a week, you'll need to deliver at least 9 of them on time. We track this in Jira.

Design System Adherence
How well your designs stick to our established brand guidelines and use components from our existing design system. This means using the right colours, fonts, spacing, and pre-built elements.
Target · 100% adherence to core brand guidelines and design system components

Your landing page mock-up uses the exact button component from our Figma library, and the text uses our approved brand font and colour hex codes. No rogue colours, please!

Handoff Error Rate
The number of times a developer needs to come back to you with questions or issues because a design file wasn't clear, assets were missing, or specifications were incorrect.
Target · <5% of designs requiring clarification/correction post-handoff

Out of 20 design files you hand over, no more than one should come back with a query about missing assets or unclear spacing. We want to make developers' lives easy.

Learning & Tool Proficiency
Your progress in mastering the core design tools and workflows relevant to the team.
Target · Achieve 'Intermediate' proficiency in Figma and Adobe CC within 6 months, as assessed by your Senior Designer.

You're independently creating complex auto-layout components in Figma after 4 months, rather than just using existing ones. You're also confidently exporting assets for different platforms.

Feedback Responsiveness & Application
How effectively you listen to, understand, and apply feedback from your Senior Designer and other stakeholders to improve your designs.
  • Your design iterations clearly show improvements based on specific feedback points. You ask clarifying questions to ensure you understand the feedback. You don't make the same 'mistake' twice after receiving guidance. You're not precious about your work
  • you see it as a collaborative process.
Proactive Learning & Initiative
Your willingness to seek out new knowledge, ask intelligent questions, and take initiative to improve your skills and understanding of marketing design principles.
  • You bring up new design trends you've seen, suggest ways to improve a process, or ask 'why' we do things a certain way to understand the bigger picture. You're not just waiting for instructions
  • you're looking for opportunities to learn and contribute. You've completed online tutorials in your own time.
Collaboration & Teamwork
How well you work with your immediate design team, copywriters, and developers to ensure smooth project execution.
  • You get positive feedback from peers about your willingness to help, your clear communication, and how easy it is to work with your design files. There are no bottlenecks caused by your end of the process. You're a pleasure to work with, basically.
Attention to Detail
Your ability to spot small visual inconsistencies, ensure pixel-perfect alignment, and maintain overall visual polish in your designs.
  • Your Senior Designer rarely needs to point out spacing issues or misaligned elements. Your designs consistently look 'finished' and professional. You're the one who notices if a hex code is slightly off or a font weight is incorrect.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Seeing Your Work Go Live

You'll get a real buzz from seeing your designs, whether it's a new social ad or a landing page, actually published and out there for the world to see. You're driven by the tangible impact of your creations.

You've just finished a set of email banners, and the next day you see them in your own inbox as part of a live campaign. That's a great feeling.

Learning & Skill Development

You're hungry to learn new design techniques, master tools like Figma, and understand the nuances of marketing psychology. You actively seek out feedback and opportunities to grow your craft.

You spend your lunch break watching a Figma tutorial or asking your Senior Designer about a specific prototyping technique. You're always looking for ways to get better.

Contributing to a Team Effort

You enjoy being part of a cohesive team, knowing your work contributes to a larger marketing goal. You like the camaraderie and the shared purpose of building something together.

You're helping a copywriter choose the best visual for their ad, or getting feedback from a developer on how to make a design easier to implement. It's all about working together.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Make it Pop' Feedback: Getting vague, subjective feedback from non-designers who can't articulate what business problem they're actually trying to solve.
  • Brand Police vs. Conversion: A design that's proven to convert well gets vetoed because a button colour is slightly off-brand, even if it's more effective.
  • The Last-Minute Copy Bomb: The copywriter delivers five paragraphs of text for a space you designed for a single, punchy sentence, forcing a frantic, last-minute redesign.
  • Deviations in Development: Seeing your meticulously crafted, pixel-perfect design implemented by a developer with misaligned elements, incorrect fonts, or broken spacing.
  • The 'Just a Quick Mockup' Request: Being asked to whip up a design for a half-baked idea, which then gets presented to leadership as a finalised concept, creating massive downstream work.
What this role does not give you
  • Full creative autonomy without constraints – you'll be working within strict brand guidelines.
  • A purely artistic role – design here is always tied to marketing performance and business goals.
  • Isolation – you'll be collaborating constantly with various team members.
  • Immediate leadership responsibilities – this is an entry-level role focused on execution and learning.

6Who you work with

Your work directly impacts the visual quality and consistency of all our digital marketing efforts. You'll be making sure our brand looks its best across every touchpoint, which helps build trust and, ultimately, drives more customer engagement and conversions. Essentially, you're a key part of making our marketing look professional and perform effectively.

Inside the business
  • Senior Marketing UI Designer (your direct manager)
  • Marketing Campaign Managers
  • Copywriters
  • Front-End Developers (who'll build your designs)
  • Brand Team (for guideline checks)
Outside the business
  • Digital Marketing Agencies (sometimes for asset exchange)
  • External Photography/Illustration Studios (for asset preparation)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A strong portfolio (even if it's student projects or personal work) demonstrating foundational UI design skills, an eye for aesthetics, and a basic understanding of user experience.
  • Demonstrable proficiency in Figma (Intermediate level) and at least one Adobe Creative Cloud application (e.g., Photoshop or Illustrator) for asset creation.
  • A foundational understanding of graphic design principles: typography, colour theory, layout, and visual hierarchy.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, especially for articulating design choices and taking feedback.
  • A genuine curiosity about digital marketing and how design influences user behaviour and business outcomes.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Figma Mastery & Advanced Prototyping

Figma is constantly evolving, and truly mastering it means you can build complex, interactive prototypes that closely mimic the final product. This speeds up feedback cycles and reduces development rework.

Advanced Auto Layout & Variants · Interactive Prototyping · Figma Plugins & Integrations

  • This week: Explore Figma's official tutorials on advanced auto layout and variants.
  • This month: Recreate a complex UI component from our design system using only advanced auto layout.
  • Month 2: Build a full, interactive prototype for a new landing page, including all click states and error messages.
  • Month 3: Research and experiment with 2-3 new Figma plugins that could improve our workflow.

Quick win: Start using auto layout for every new frame you create in Figma, even simple ones. It's a habit that pays off.

Basic Front-End Development Understanding

While you won't be coding, understanding how your designs are built in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript will make you a much better UI designer. You'll design more realistically and have smoother handoffs with developers.

HTML Structure & Semantics · CSS Styling & Layout · Developer Hand-off Best Practices

  • This week: Ask a Front-End Developer to walk you through how they convert one of your designs into code.
  • This month: Complete a free online course on basic HTML and CSS (e.g., Codecademy, freeCodeCamp).
  • Month 2: Start using Figma's 'Inspect' panel to see CSS properties for your designs and understand how they translate.
  • Month 3: Proactively ask developers for feedback on your design handoff files to improve clarity.

Quick win: Next time you hand off a design, sit with the developer for 15 minutes and ask them to show you what they're looking for and what makes their job easier.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly engage with online design communities (e.g., Dribbble, Behance, Figma Community) to stay inspired and see what others are doing.
  • Follow industry blogs and thought leaders in UI/UX and digital marketing to keep up with trends and best practices.
  • Attend webinars or online workshops on new Figma features, accessibility best practices, or conversion-centered design.
  • Participate in internal 'Lunch & Learn' sessions where team members share knowledge and skills.
  • Take on small, self-initiated design challenges to continuously hone your skills and experiment with new techniques.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering for Design & Copy

AI tools like Midjourney and ChatGPT are already changing how designers brainstorm and generate initial concepts. Competitors are using these to draft design variations and microcopy in minutes, not hours. Designers who figure this out will be much more efficient.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Junior Marketing UI Designer is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, as a Junior Designer, you're learning a lot, and sometimes the repetitive tasks can eat into your creative time. What if you could get through the grunt work faster, leaving more room for actual design and learning? That's where AI comes in. We're not talking about replacing designers; we're talking about giving you superpowers.

Our Marketing team is embracing AI to make our design processes smarter and quicker. For a Junior UI Designer, this means less time on tedious tasks and more time on the fun, impactful stuff. You'll be using cutting-edge AI tools that integrate directly into your workflow, helping you generate ideas, check for errors, and even draft initial copy, all while you're still learning the ropes. It's about working smarter, not just harder, right from the start.

AI-Powered Design Variation

Imagine needing 10 different banner variations for a campaign. Instead of manually creating each one, you'll use AI tools or Figma plugins to generate dozens of initial layout concepts, image styles, or icon sets from a simple text prompt. This helps you overcome the 'blank page' problem and gives you a diverse range of starting points for your creative exploration, much faster than doing it all yourself.

Predictive Heatmap Analysis

Ever wonder where users will look on your design? You'll use AI tools that can predict where a user's attention will go on a design *before* it's even built or tested. This lets you rapidly iterate on visual hierarchy and CTA placement, catching major potential issues early on. It's like having a crystal ball for user behaviour, helping you make smarter design choices from day one.

Microcopy & CTA Generation

Struggling to come up with the perfect, punchy microcopy for a button or a form field label? You'll use generative AI like ChatGPT or Jasper.ai to brainstorm and draft initial microcopy for buttons, tooltips, and form field labels. While a copywriter will always give the final polish, this provides excellent placeholder content and first-draft ideas instantly, saving you time and creative energy.

Automated Accessibility Audits

Making sure our designs are accessible is crucial, but manually checking every detail can be time-consuming. You'll integrate AI-powered plugins (like Stark for Figma) directly into your design process. These tools automatically scan your designs for common accessibility issues like poor colour contrast or missing labels, allowing you to fix them long before the design even gets to a developer. It's a huge time-saver and ensures we're inclusive from the start.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Junior Marketing UI Designer, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 6 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Junior Marketing UI Designer: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Marketing

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here are highly transferable. A strong UI designer from a marketing background can easily move into product design, agency roles, or even specialise in areas like brand identity or digital experience within other industries. The core principles of user-centric design and visual communication are universal.
