UX/UI Designer (Lead)

  • Full Time
  • Hybrid
  • Dublin

We’re entering an exciting new phase at Friday. The agency is growing steadily, and backed by a strong base of retained clients – but there’s still huge untapped potential, especially in UX.

We’re looking for a hands-on Senior UX/UI to help shape the next chapter. You’ll play a central role in how the agency evolves: growing the team, refining our service offering, helping shape processes, and deciding the kind of projects and clients we pursue.

If you’re excited about building, leading, and still getting stuck into great UX, this could be your chance to make a real impact. And as we grow, there will be meaningful rewards for those who help move the dial.

We’re passionate about the convergence of art and technology – and we want to work with people who share that passion.

Design and Creativity

  • A keen eye for stunning, progressive UI design.
  • A creative flair for concepts, storytelling, and outstanding user experiences.

AI in Practice

  • Leadership skills to mentor and grow a team, foster collaboration, and inspire great work.
