Hi All, so we have been struggling to find a Front End Developer for the above opportunity, I have discussed a possible issue around salary and the Client has come back to say that they are willing to negotiate salary for the right candidate.
[Edit] Added ~ This is a development role, you will not be expected to design, must have worked closely with designers and understand the aspects around design so that if need be you can tweak design work. Ideal candidate will have great attention to detail and likely come for the advertising industry.
Please see detailed role below:
