Web Designer and Developer

Role Positioning:

This is an ownership role, not a ticket queue. You will decide how sites are built, argue for the experience before anyone opens a design file, and be the person who can hold a technical conversation with Group IT and a design conversation with the studio in the same afternoon.

What will you own:

• Build and ship websites end to end: corporate pages, campaign microsites, landing pages and internal platforms, from wireframe to live.

• Work in a modern front-end stack: React, Astro and Next.js, with Vite and Node tooling, Git, and a proper staging to production workflow.

• Own and maintain the Group properties running on WordPress: themes, templates, plugins, content updates, migrations, and the unglamorous fixes that keep a site healthy.

• Plan the experience before building it: information architecture, user flows, wireframes and prototypes, then explain why it is structured that way.

• Design in Figma, Photoshop and Illustrator, ad take a layout from concept to production without needing it drawn for you first.

• Keep every property inside the OSK Brand Identity Guidelines, across multiple sub-brands with different visual lanes.

• Keep sites secure and current: updates and patching, plugin and script vetting, access control, secure forms, backups and rollback.

• Prepare video and motion assets for web use: compression, formats, embedded playback and background loops.

• Sit between the Creative Studio and Group IT on hosting, domains and subdomains, SSL, DNS, deployment and access, translating in both directions so nothing stalls in the gap.

• Test across real devices and browsers, and fix what breaks before anyone else finds it.

• Keep documentation, credentials handling, version control and project files in order, so no part of the estate lives only in one person's head.

Good to have

• Headless or git-based CMS implementation: Decap, Sveltia, Sanity, Contentful or similar.

• Tailwind CSS or an equivalent utility framework.

• Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. Not the job, but there will be weeks when a site needs a hero loop or a trimmed video, and doing it yourself is faster than queuing it.

• Web accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA.

• SEO fundamentals, Core Web Vitals and performance budgets.

• PHP and MySQL for deeper WordPress customisation.

• Personal Data Protection Act awareness as it applies to web forms and data capture.

• Experience supporting multiple brands or business units under a group structure.

• AI tooling used with judgement rather than novelty, in build, design or content workflows.

• Project management tools: ClickUp, Trello, Monday.com. GCC Creative runs on ClickUp.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

• Diploma or degree in web design and development, multimedia, interactive design, computer science, information technology or a related field.

• A portfolio of live websites, with URLs. For each one, state what you designed, what you built and what you inherited.

• Minimum three years in web design and front-end development. Four to six years is the comfortable range for this role.

• Production command of HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with React and modern build tooling including Vite and Node.

• Working command of at least one modern site framework, Astro or Next.js: component architecture, routing, static or hybrid rendering, and deployment.

• WordPress competence at maintenance and delivery level: themes, templates, page builders, plugins, migrations and troubleshooting. Existing Group properties run on it, and they become yours.

• Git, and a working understanding of staging to production deployment.

• UI and UX planning you can defend out loud: flows, wireframes, prototypes, and the reasoning behind them.

• Figma, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator at production standard.

• A real eye for typography, hierarchy, spacing and alignment. A developer who cannot see spacing will struggle here.

• Security as a habit rather than a checklist: patching and update discipline, plugin and third-party script vetting, HTTPS and mixed content, role-based access, credential handling, secure form and data capture, backups and rollback, and awareness of common front-end vulnerabilities.

• The discipline to design inside someone else's brand guidelines instead of your own style.

• The ability to work alone on an owned property and inside a creative team on a shared one.

• Written and spoken English and Bahasa Malaysia, and the ability to explain a technical constraint to a non-technical stakeholder without condescension.
