Title: User experience consultant
Flow Interactive is a leading provider of usability and user centred design services in the UK.
We don't just do websites. We do software, mobile devices, hardware, kitchen appliances, kiosks, interactive TV... www.flow-interactive.com
We have an opening for a consultant in our office in Highbury, London, UK.
The job requires:
* UCD activities and usability knowledge: You have real, first-hand experience running usability tests, and probably other UCD techniques such as contextual enquiry or card sorting. You're keen on usability and accessibility.
* Communications skills: You know how to be diplomatic, clear, persuasive, firm and charming with clients and colleagues, and how to prepare readable reports and deliver engaging presentations.
* Design thinking: You think in a creative, breadth first and user-centred way to come up with innovative solutions to usability problems. You are confident in visualising your ideas using software or pen and paper.
Let's get a bit more precise things...
* This job is about being a skilled practitioner, not a manager.
* YOU MUST BE ALREADY ELIGIBLE TO WORK IN THE UK. We can't get you a
visa and we can't fly you in for interviews.
* You need to be keen on running usability tests and/or other UCD
activities with real users and feel you have an aptitude for it.
* You need at least two years experience in the field doing IA or
usability or production or design.
* You need to be outgoing and charismatic.
* You need a good degree. Postgraduate is better.
* You need good computer skills - Word, Powerpoint, Excel are second
nature to you. Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Visio/Illustrator are very desirable skills.
