We help smart organisations design and build websites and web applications that are better for their users and better for their businesses. We have an opportunity for a senior user experience design professional to join our growing consulting team. Senior Analysts are responsible for researching, designing and communicating user-centred design solutions for our clients.
RESPONSIBILITIES As a Senior Analyst you serve as the principal user centred design expert on a project. You will work on a variety of projects for clients of all sizes, in the public and private sector and in many different industries. You will work alone or as part of a small team that may include other UxD professionals, a project manager, a graphic designer, web developers and client stakeholders. You will plan and conduct requirements gathering and user research activities aimed at understanding the needs of our business clients and their users. You are responsible for creating the architecture, navigation, task flows, search functionality, information and interaction design elements on a project and for communicating these to the client and to other team members. You will provide ongoing consultancy to clients to help them implement and evolve their user experience strategy, including training and mentoring client staff. In a wider context, you will contribute to sales and client relationship management activities. You will also help define and improve our tools and techniques and to train and mentor less experienced colleagues. REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE You will have substantial practical experience of user experience design, preferably in a commercial environment. Experience in consultancy is a definite advantage. You should have proven ability in two or more of the following skill sets: * Usability evaluation and usability testing methodologies * Interaction design * Information architecture * Web analytics * Using personas and scenarios to model user behaviours * Designing business processes for content management * Web accessibility * Writing for the web and the creation of usable, persuasive content In addition, you should have the following characteristics: * Strong communicator. You must have the ability to articulate complex ideas and concepts in a simple and straightforward manner, either verbally, in writing or using designs and illustrations. * Presenter and facilitator. Presenting ideas and running workshops are part and parcel of what we do. You must have expertise in both. * Consensus builder. Our clients often have diverse and conflicting ideas and objectives. You must be able to consolidate these requirements and build consensus through high-quality designs and solutions. * Delivery focused. Good solutions are useless if they are not delivered on time. You must have a strong delivery-focused ethic and the ability to get things done. * Technology savvy. This is not a technical role, but you must be comfortable talking to our clients about content management systems, style sheets, XML and other basic aspects of web development.
