About The Role
Hippo is 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 an easy way. Working with user researchers, they identify user needs and use that information to inform design decisions. They champion user-centred design, work with Agile teams to test and iterate designs, and advise clients on interaction design.
