You will have experience of consulting in the user experience space – and working with design and technology teams and pulling together the full suite of ux documentation – business and user research, personas, interaction designs, user journeys, sitemaps and wireframes.

Interaction Designer, London, £20k -£55k, J475

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

 Hello,

I am looking for user experience designers (loads) to work on the hottest brand in the UK. My client has the most innovative products across web, mobile, iTV and desktop applications. They are leaders in their field and are looking to hire user experience designers at the very top of their game. This role may not offer the same salary as an investment bank, or an ecommerce brand – but it’s your opportunity to work in public services. You will be working on media rich sites, with a cohesive team who are really experienced and passionate about the people and the products and output of the team. If you think that your role is to produce wireframes and structure a website then this isn’t the job for you.

What you need is

A slick portfolio of work – persona’s, scenarios, wireframes, competitive analysis, flows and conceptual maps

A bachelors or masters degree in design, psychology or a related subject.

Experience of defining software interfaces – in a similar environment, agency or clientside

Practical and commercial knowledge of interaction design

Experience of observing and participating in testing and big research

If you think your role is to make the world a better place, you should apply, I might be able to flex on the salary a bit, but you gotta be hotter than the hottest day of the year.

Seriously, this is a brilliant job, a box to tick on the CV and a dream for your career.

Hello,

I am looking for you to join a well known agency in London to work on an automotive client project for 15 days starting Monday. The client is working on a brand new site and is looking for some additional resource to produce site maps, process flows, wireframes and functional specifications.

User Experience Consultants, London, £250pd or a pro rata salary of up to £65K- J487

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

My client is based in Central London and is looking for an additional hire into the user experience team due to so many interesting projects coming up.

You will work onsite with the design and technology teams and help bring the existing sites into conformity with the over arching brand.  You will be looking after around 9 different websites, they mostly are youth brands but the most interesting thing is how engaged the audiences are – so there is lots of innovation and fluid development to work around and support this. They also have some projects designing for ipad and iphone – so you will be at the cutting edge of technology using your experience of sketching, mock-ups and user flows. Experience of  running user testing sessions would be great.

Other stuff I *loved*

You can actually change the business, you are invited to spend one day a week working on a project which is work related, but personal – and there is history of this going live.

All staff get cool perks, a talk with an industry leader weekly and a summer ball.

They are doing some user testing on site all the time, all UX input is very welcome across the board and design and tech teams.

You are working with some really cool bands, and you might bump into the Arctic Monkeys or Katherine Jenkins

They are working on a major project with a big broadcaster, on a project that will allow you to access loads of radio sites from one interface.

It’s based in the heart of London.

If you are in a contract role and want to do more sketching, less visio/axure and see quick change -call me.

If you are in a permanent job and think this would be a good move into your first contract, drop me a line – it’s a one off and worth going gaga over. be@wearefutureheads.co.uk
