JOB DESCRIPTION
About The Role
We are recruiting intermediate consultants in UX design. UX designers ensure that people using a service can do what they need to do, when they need to do it, in a way that is easy for them. Working with user researchers, they identify what users need from a service and use that information to inform design decisions. Champions of user-centred design, they work with other Agile team members to test and iterate designs, and advise clients on how to get the best from interaction design.
As an intermediate consultant in UX design, you’ll come to our company with strong UX design skills and some experience of advising others on how to design user-centred services. In return, we’ll provide exciting opportunities to develop further within your profession and as a consultant with clients.

About the Candidate:
* Knowledge and desire to investigate, innovate and develop emerging design, UX and technology trends

* Excellent understanding of user-experience design for mobile and the web, technology trends, demonstrable design skills, and ability to show relevant work
* Experience in rapid prototyping tools, for example Sketch and Invision
* Great consultancy skills, caring about your client’s needs and motivations
