- Experience of designing for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices
- Ability to capture design briefs from clients and colleagues

Working remotely at JH
We’re open to hiring someone based in the UK who would work remotely most of the time. Because this is a client facing role, there will be occasions when you need to attend face-to-face meetings with colleagues and clients. These would be facilitated with safety as a priority, but you must be comfortable taking part.
JH has been working remote-first since the start of the pandemic and operates several initiatives that support the continuation of positive communication, culture, and wellbeing. We transitioned easily because we’ve worked from home and employed remote staff for a number of years, so we already had the processes, technology, and mindsets that are helpful.
How to apply
You will be asked to provide the following things:
- CV emphasising the relevant experience you have
- Portfolio showcasing your best design work (we’re happy to receive any format: PDF, website, slideshow, etc.)
Once you’ve applied, the hiring process looks like this:
- Review: we assess each application against this job description
