## About the Role

* Proven experience delivering user-centred interaction design within agile, multidisciplinary product teams.
 * Hands-on proficiency with design and prototyping tools (Figma, Sketch) and rapid prototyping workflows.
 * Strong commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and assisted-digital user needs.
 * Solid grasp of core interaction fundamentals: layout, typography, micro-copy, and systemic consistency.
 * Ability to articulate design decisions clearly and influence non-design stakeholders with evidence-based rationale.
 * Experience facilitating workshops and design-thinking sessions with cross-functional teams.

Desirable:

 * Experience working within the UK public sector and familiarity with the GDS Service Standard and GOV.UK Design System.
 * Ability to prototype directly in code using HTML/CSS/JavaScript or the GOV.UK Prototype Kit.
 * Understanding of technical constraints, API boundaries, and basic data models to ensure feasible designs.

## Description

* Prototyping and Iteration: Design, build, and iterate rapid interactive prototypes (from sketch to coded prototypes using the GOV.UK Prototype Kit) to test hypotheses and communicate solutions.
 * Service Architecture and Flow: Map end-to-end user journeys, task models, wireframes, and interface designs across both digital and non-digital touchpoints.
 * User-Centred Design: Work in lockstep with User Researchers to observe usability testing, synthesize research findings, and make evidence-based design iterations.
 * Design Systems and Accessibility: Implement and contribute to the GOV.UK Design System, ensuring all interactions comply with WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards.
 * Facilitation and Alignment: Lead co-design workshops, design crits, and cross-functional design sessions to align product managers, developers, and policy stakeholders around user needs.
