Framfab is the leading provider of innovative interactive solutions in the UK. We combine marketing, business, technical and creative expertise with an understanding of human behaviour to design interfaces, journeys and interactions that ensure the best experiences for people across all interactive channels.
I am looking to employ new contract Experience Architects (EAs) for a variety of clients and contract durations. Preferably, you will be looking to take a contract role either immediately or within the next
1-2 weeks. All roles are based in our London office and you must be eligible to work in the UK.
Our EAs are required to:
* Define, understand and empathise with a set of users and their needs - while retaining a sense of adventure in the strategy, concept and detailed design of a user interface;
* Elicit, understand and be sensitive to the business, brand, operational and technology requirements of a client - while retaining the perspective of the end user and challenging the client's expectations from that perspective if necessary;
* Have a flair for usable interface design, have a good understanding of best practice in a wide variety of situations and be able to apply this flair and understanding to the detailed design and specification of a complex website or interface;
* Be aware of the implications and constraints of a wide range of different technologies - while retaining the ability to challenge and overcome those constraints where necessary to deliver a high-quality user experience;
* Be proactive, productive and able to self-start and manage with limited supervision (if necessary) - while instinctively knowing when to ask for critique or help.
Key responsibilities include:
1. Develop an understanding of users and their needs, and document this information; 2. Work with other groups to design the most appropriate user interface strategy to meet the client's business needs; 3. Produce prototypes to demonstrate functional design aspects to the client and to validate the design with end users; 4. Validate and refine the user experience through interactive prototyping and user testing; 5. Specify user interfaces to enable technical teams to build them; 6. Design feedback, data capture and analysis mechanisms for systems to enable future enhancement of user experience; 7. Produce user support systems for administration interfaces (e.g., user documentation, help, training, etc).
If you are enthusiastic, committed, have a good-quality education (preferably in a related field e.g. HCI, Information Design etc), with at least 2 years experience in this field and the ability to communicate clearly and persuasively, then get in touch!
