Senior UX/UI Designer

About the Company

The Working Party is a specialist eCommerce partner operating across Australia and New Zealand, focused on strategic growth, precise engineering, and thoughtful design. As a Shopify Platinum Partner and Elite Klaviyo Partner, the team works with major retailers such as JB Hi-Fi, KOOKAÏ, and Farmers Pick on complex platform builds, UX/UI design, and performance improvement. Their approach blends evidence-based strategy with technical depth to deliver measurable, long-term results.

The business is staffed by ANZ-based senior strategists, designers, developers, and delivery managers who care deeply about eCommerce craft. Collaboration, accountability, and quality are central to how they work.

Role Overview

This opening is for a Senior UX/UI Designer to join the delivery team and take ownership of the design work that shapes how client brands perform online. The role is about more than interface creation; it involves designing experiences that solve customer and commercial problems, improve conversion, and support market performance.

You will partner with eCommerce strategists, business analysts, developers, and tech leads through discovery, concepting, client presentations, handover, and design assurance. The position calls for someone who can bring clarity to design decisions while balancing creativity with practical delivery needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design side of discovery workshops and contribute a strong design viewpoint during planning and client discussions.
• Develop polished UX/UI concepts for the required screen sizes, turning branding, business goals, and eCommerce best practices into cohesive experiences that support conversion.
• Create wireframes, sitemaps, and digital design guides that align clients and delivery teams on direction and expectations.
• Track design work against scope, timelines, and budget, while identifying and escalating scope risks early.
• Work closely with developers so designs are ready to build, practical to implement, and clearly documented for handover.
• Review build progress and carry out final design quality checks before launch to confirm standards are met.
• Mentor junior designers and help improve the team’s design templates, systems, and working methods.

Required Background

Applicants should have proven experience in a senior UX/UI design role, ideally in eCommerce, agency, or client-facing environments. A portfolio showing high-quality web and mobile design work, supported by commercially sound decisions, is essential.

Strong capability with Figma or similar design tools, plus prototyping software, is expected. You should be comfortable producing clean files that are ready for implementation and able to contribute meaningfully in discovery sessions. A solid understanding of conversion-focused eCommerce design is important, and Shopify or Shopify Plus experience will be an advantage.

The role also requires strong communication and stakeholder management skills, confidence presenting design thinking to clients, and a structured approach to working within scope, budget, and delivery constraints. An interest in mentoring others and lifting team capability is highly valued.
