The role.

A London-based Digital Designer with 3+ years experience in a digital, UX or experience design role. You are a mid or senior designer with more than a few great digital projects behind you and you’re ready for more: more responsibility, more experimentation, more of a challenge and more room to grow. You design with the end user at heart, using design thinking to guide your approach to building exceptional experiences, and you believe you can change the world for the better.

Who you are.

You have proven yourself in a digital or brand studio and have contributed to projects in meaningful ways. Now you are looking to take what you’ve learnt and push your skills even further. You are driven by ideas and express them through well crafted design and innovative digital. You break the mould consistently. You’re refining your craft, executing top-tier ideas every time. Your work takes users on a journey that not only solves problems, but is a delight to interact with. You’re able to drop in and out of projects smoothly, inspiring the wider team with your thinking, designs and prototypes. You take clients on a journey as you communicate how the work solves challenges for both their business and their customers.

Who we are.

DixonBaxi is a group of people who make beautiful, original brands that change the world for the better. We’re fuelled by creativity and reject convention. We are trusted by some of the world’s most interesting companies, including Max, ITV, Hulu, TNT, Samsung, Audible, AT&T, British Land, IMAX, Konami, Eurosport, Netflix and AC Milan. Brands that seek to be brave and challenge convention.

We partner with brands and in-house creative teams across the world from our London studio. We seek revolution rather than evolution and embrace change to remain fiercely original.

Great design is born of difference; we constantly seek new perspectives and identities to build our team. We’re a vibrant, eclectic, open group of people from Seattle, Lagos, New Zealand and everywhere in between, which makes for a rich environment full of ideas.

What we believe.

DixonBaxi is a place of growth. A positive and diverse culture makes us all do great things. The creative studio atmosphere allows everyone to develop new skills, try new things and never settle. We are open-minded and adapt to new ways of working or thinking constantly. We foster access, opportunity and success for everyone.
We care about the team and always look for new ways of working and supporting each other. Our 4.5-day week is a good example, and Friday lunches – the weekly thank you!

Our benefits include Mental Health Support, gym membership discounts and a cycle-to-work scheme. We encourage travel overseas to meet our clients and embrace the opportunity to do things together (like our trips to Copenhagen and Barcelona).

As for the fun stuff – we come together every Wednesday to celebrate projects, birthdays and workiversaries. There is the opportunity for each person to shout out thanks to other team members.

FAQs

Salaries

Our salary brackets are not stated in our job ads. Often our job adverts are open to appeal to candidates at various levels, each level with its own salary brackets. We believe in the concept of ‘know your worth’ and have this discussion with all our initial short-listed candidates.

We regularly benchmark salaries against industry standards [with experts like Major Players, MKS, The DBA, Source and Benchpress] to ensure our compensation packages are competitive and fair. We are committed to transparency and fairness in our hiring process and discuss salary openly with candidates during the interview stage. This approach ensures everyone is evaluated on their merits and potential rather than on predetermined salary brackets. We embrace the concept of ‘know your worth’.

Feedback

We get many applicants for each role which is very much appreciated but unfortunately, it makes it challenging to provide feedback to every applicant. You will always receive an email response to show that we have received your application.

You will of course get written and/or verbal feedback if you make it to the interview stage but are not selected for the role.
