Visual Designer

Visual designer at DFDS What does a cutting-edge booking process look and feel like? Will visual storytelling improve the user experience on our web pages? And how do we best connect our digital design to DFDS’s corporate visual identity? DFDS is poised to create its next wave of digital services and is looking for a visual designer who can create great-looking designs that people love to use. You will be working in our design team within our Digital organization and collaborate with marketers, business owners, UX designers and developers on concrete projects and on the continuous development of DFDS’s digital design language – allowing for a unified experience across platforms and devices. You are: •A front-runner when it comes to digital design (you probably wake up thinking about iconography and go to sleep pondering the pros and cons of web fonts). •Weighing in with 3-4 years of visual design experience. •Relying heavily on user research and analytics to help set the direction of what and for whom you are designing. •Experienced when it comes to developing a visual design language that is connected to an actual pattern library documented in code. •Someone who enjoys working with short deadlines in a team where getting the product launched to customers takes precedence over pixel-perfection (we work with agile design, so you will be incrementally building, measuring and learning your way towards a final product). •Proficient in Sketch, Illustrator or similar (knowledge of CSS and html 5 is a definite plus). •Fluent in spoken and written English. •Likely to hold a Masters in a design or UX-related discipline, or have equivalent professional experience and a solid theoretical understanding of visual design principles We offer: •A full time time position in a team, reporting to the UX Manager, where your colleagues and sparring partners are UX and visual designers, content editors, analytics specialists and product owners. •A job where your design skills will come into play in projects ranging from design of booking tools, through the crafting of marketing and sales web pages to the design of check-in kiosks at our ferry terminals. •The chance to take an offset in the concrete visual design of a service working your way towards an overall digital design language for all of DFDS. •A work environment where we have the highest of ambitions and the focus to reach them – but where having fun on the way is just as important. Why? This is an exciting opportunity for digital specialists to hone their skills and gain unique experience in a company with a strong digital vision. We are looking for ambitious and dedicated people to be an integral part of shaping our digital journey. Successful candidates will join a talented, passionate, and delivery-focused team comprising business, marketing, creative, data and technical expertise. All team members are expected to take ownership of their own responsibilities, further develop their own role, and contribute to the development and direction of the team as a whole.
