About R/GA

Our team is a mix of specialists working at the intersection of brand design, product and experience design, campaign design and technology. We work hybridly both in the studio and online across EMEA, bringing together the leading minds of our specialist crafts to solve any problem.

Senior Designer

This isn’t a traditional agency Senior Design role. We’re looking for someone with a broader conception of design, someone who is equally interested in brands, products, interfaces, systems, interactions and experiences. You don’t believe in the traditional discipline boundaries. What matters is that you’re an exceptional designer with taste, curiosity and a point of view about where the discipline of design is going.

AI is changing both what we design and how we design it. Interfaces are becoming generative, products are becoming adaptive, brands are becoming systems that can create and respond in real time. At Addition we’re building a team that is excited by and leading this creative shift, we’re not looking for someone with all the answers, but someone who wants to invent them with us.

On any given day…

• Raise the bar for design
  Set an exceptionally high standard for craft, taste and originality across R/GA's work. Know what makes something great, what makes it distinctive, and importantly be able to articulate why. Move comfortably between UX / UI, digital products, interfaces, storytelling, content and emerging forms of experience. Look for opportunities to connect disciplines rather than defend their boundaries.
• Design systems, not artifacts
  Think about the principles, behaviours and relationships behind an experience, not simply its visual surface. Help us create ideas that adapt, generate and evolve rather than producing static, fixed outputs.
• Explore what AI makes possible
  Treat AI as a new creative and design medium, not a production shortcut. Experiment with new interaction models, generative systems, agentic experiences and creative workflows. Help us develop a point of view about what designing ‘with’ and ‘for’ AI means.
• Bring humanity to technology
  Technology alone is never ever the solution. Be a champion of work with character, emotion, and cultural relevance. Design for feeling as much as function.
• Partner across disciplines
  Work closely with engineers, creative technologists, strategists, writers, and producers. Be comfortable moving between creative and technical conversations, and lead multidisciplinary teams to solutions that individual disciplines wouldn’t have reached alone.

The ideal person:

• Is a design fundamentalist
  You care deeply about typography, composition, interaction, motion, hierarchy, narrative and detail. New technology makes those fundamentals more important, not less. You can identify the difference between something competent and something exceptional, explain that difference clearly.
• Has a range of experience
  Your portfolio might cross product, brand, digital experience, creative technology, identity and communication design. We’re more interested in the breadth of your thinking than whether you’ve spent your career in one particular type of agency or company.
• Thinks in systems
  You naturally look beyond individual screens and executions toward behaviours, principles, components and frameworks that make ideas coherent and extensible.
• Is AI native
  You actively experiment with emerging AI tools and understand their significance. You’re curious about agents, generative interfaces, adaptive systems and new forms of human-machine interaction. You’re comfortable using prototypes to answer questions. You’re experimenting with tools that allow designers to work directly with code and models rather than limiting yourself to static representations.
• Makes others better
  You’re generous with your judgment and experience. You know when to give direction, when to ask a question, and when to let someone find the answer themselves.
• Is comfortable with ambiguity
  AI is moving quickly. You’ll encounter problems for which neither we nor the industry have established playbooks. That’s part of the fun of working here.
