Job Description

About Cog

We do our best projects with people who are genuinely excited about their work so we choose only to work with those people. For us that means working exclusively in the world of arts and culture.

Using WordPress as our main CMS, we design and build unique websites that help arts organisations inspire their audiences.

Formed in 1991, we are probably the UK’s most experienced agency working in the sector. We aren’t limited by technology or visual style, we work in the most appropriate way to convey our clients’ messages to their audiences.

About The Role

This is a front-end website (not apps) role, working within our team of designers, developers and project managers. We’re looking for someone with aesthetic swagger and technical savvy.

Our back-end team handle the complex integration and technical implementation, leaving you to focus on the visual essence and online interactions. Although there’s bound to be some crossover.

You’ll be working in partnership with our design team to translate thinking into actions, suggest brilliant improvements and then push to make it all happen.

You’ll need to really care about finessing the detail and have a keen eye on the broader structure.

We need someone who can compartmentalise their thinking and juggle priorities.

Our projects are hugely varied in scope and scale. You’ll be working on at least a couple of sites concurrently and will need to be flexible and adaptable enough to pick up on multiple short-term tasks as they drop in.

Mostly we need someone who is pragmatic, flexible and focused.

Within a generous and supportive team, you’ll be given the freedom to make this role your own and be empowered to implement improvements. We can fund courses and conferences, and arrange site visits and training to facilitate that process.

About You

We’re looking for someone who can show us they’d be a great addition to our team. That probably means they can demonstrate the following:

Personal
  • Enthusiasm for what you do
  • Enthusiasm for what we do
  • Organised and methodical with a meticulous eye for detail
  • A problem solver, calm under pressure
  • A multi-tasker who can switch gears when needed
  • A team player with a desire to constantly improve, and to help others do the same
  • Professional
It is important that you have the ability to (or the capacity to quickly learn to):
  • Interpret designs so you are building complete solutions not just making the front-end look like the flat visuals
  • Be sensitive to the nuance and subtleties that make the difference between good and great user experiences
  • Talk about your work in everyday language
  • Accurately estimate how long you need to invest in specific tasks
Technical

We are always improving our development set-up so we’re very open to you challenging us and suggesting better solutions. For now…

It Is Essential That You Have Proficient Experience With
  • HTML5
  • CSS3 (SCSS / SASS)
  • Javascript (jQuery, backbone / underscore / Lodash / React etc)
  • Snagging and testing sites across multiple browsers and platforms
It would be an advantage if you are already experienced in:
  • WordPress in all its glory and idiosyncrasies
  • GIT (Gulp / Bower / NPM)
  • Styling for ticketing and CRM systems
  • Accessibility best practise
It would be interesting if you have some knowledge about:
  • *nix systems / command-line tools
  • SQL databases
  • Web servers NGINX / Apache
