## Description

Hippo is looking to build a talent pool of talented UX Designers for current and future contractor opportunities. Due to the variety of our projects and clients, we have Inside IR35 positions available on a short-term or long-term basis with fully remote/flexible working arrangements.

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 their 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 UX design.

What you'll do

 * Advise clients on how to solve complex problems using UX design, people-centred design and Agile methodologies
 * Lead multidisciplinary Agile teams to design services that meet identified user needs
 * Advocate inclusive approaches and styles within UX design
 * Build supportive relationships with clients and stakeholders, yet challenge ideas and manage difficult conversations
 * Support other UX designers and advise other colleagues on how to get the best from UX design
 * Promote Hippo's people-centred design offer both internally and externally
