Job description

The role of user experience consultant is split in to two areas - research and design. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Researching the end-users of a digital product through a mixture of primary and secondary research
  • Creation of research deliverables such as heuristic evaluations, competitor reviews and personas
  • Deriving insight from this research and translating it in to design opportunities, interface considerations and

new ideas for content and features

  • Working within specialised client teams on-site at their offices, collaborating with complementary roles such as

project manager, product owner, visual and graphic designer, and business analyst, as well as developers

  • Creating specification documents such as wireframes, user journeys, feature maps and interactive prototypes

and communicating these to stakeholders using techniques such as presentations and workshops

  • Being a core member of our team, and adding value every day

This role has an additional dimension of expecting the successful applicant to be trained up to lead and set up an international office once they have completed their training and gained experience delivering client work in London.

  • Relocating to New York in 2-3 years to set up the UX Connections office, including admin tasks such as

establishing legal and professional licences and ways of working

  • Receiving a visa sponsored by the company for relocation to the new office location. Upon successful receipt of

the international visa the successful applicant will be expected to sign on for another 2 years with the company, otherwise be expected to repay their visa costs (100% in the first year, 50% in the second year)

  • Progressing to an office lead role in the new location, interviewing and hiring new staff, winning work, ensuring

profitability and becoming a leader, reporting in to the London HQ

Requirements

You’ll be an enthusiastic, entrepreneurial, and hard working personality - someone who wants to do the best work, be innovative and inspired all at the same time. Fundamentally, you’re a designer who looks at the world (and particularly digital products) with a questioning eye and wonders why they were made the way they were, and for what audiences. You may have just finished a psychology, design or computer science degree, and ideally will have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Figma, Dovetail, and other technologies.
