Junior Web Designer

The Junior Web Designer will support our team as we provide advisory services to a Swedish infrastructure group. This role focuses on creating clear digital interfaces that help translate complex financial findings into accessible visual tools for our clients.

About Blue Oak Consulting
Blue Oak Consulting provides independent advisory on pricing, portfolio economics, capital allocation, and acquisition assumptions. We are not a traditional consulting firm focused on broad transformation programs or high level strategy decks. Instead, we interrogate specific commercial decisions where the financial stakes are high and the existing narrative is not sufficient. Our team looks past corporate language and P&L complexity to identify where value is leaking or capital is trapped. We work across sectors like software, manufacturing, and healthcare to test whether the assumptions behind a growth plan or an acquisition actually hold under pressure. We are a small, principal led firm where the people who do the work are the ones accountable for the results. We do not take transaction contingent fees, which allows us to be completely honest about whether the economics of a decision make sense. Our goal is to provide clarity through financial discipline and a healthy amount of skepticism.

The Role
Working as a Junior Web Designer at Blue Oak Consulting is different from working at a creative agency. You will not be building flashy marketing sites: you will be designing the tools and interfaces that our clients use to understand their own economics. This is a fully remote position that requires a disciplined approach to work and a high degree of self organization. You will work closely with our senior advisors to turn raw data and financial models into functional web based dashboards and layouts. The daily environment is focused on precision and clarity over decoration. Because we are a small firm, you will see exactly how your designs contribute to the decisions our clients make.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing and maintaining user interfaces for internal pricing tools and client facing financial dashboards.
• Translating complex data sets and spreadsheet outputs into clean, intuitive web layouts.
• Creating wireframes and interactive prototypes to test how users interact with financial information.
• Updating and managing visual assets across our digital platforms to ensure a professional and consistent appearance.
• Collaborating with senior consultants to understand how design choices can improve the clarity of a financial argument.
• Testing site functionality and layout consistency across various browsers and devices.
• Building simple web components using standard HTML and CSS to support our reporting tools.
• Reviewing existing layouts to identify areas where visual clutter can be reduced to improve user focus.

At Blue Oak Consulting, we believe that the best work comes from small teams of people who are directly responsible for their results. We avoid the overhead and layers typical of larger firms, which means our junior staff are involved in substantive work early on. We look for individuals who prefer clarity to complexity and who are comfortable asking the questions others might overlook. This role provides a foundation in both professional web design and the practical application of financial discipline in a remote setting.
