Freelance Information Architects- £375-425pday – Central London- J567

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Hello,

I have another freelance role to brief you on. This one is for an integrated agency based in Central London, and they are looking for an IA to lead on a complex project for a key client. The role begins on the 24th August, and will run for at least 4 weeks, and potentially 8. It is paying between £375-425 depending on the usual stuff.

The project is to completely redesign a desktop application, a complex and data heavy application to allow companies to track vehicles in their fleet. The client in this instance is not hugely digitally savvy, but understands that they need to bring their product into the 21st century, so the agency is guiding and massaging them through this process, and making them aware of what is possible with current tech (geo mapping, global positioning, cutting edge data visualisation and modular screen customisation.) Requirements gathering, workshops and stakeholder engagement for this project will be handled by the Head of Production, but you will be present in key meetings, and as the lead IA on the project, you will need to be able to confidently and clearly explain your design decisions to key stakeholders. The agency are partnering with a very good UX consultancy to deliver the user research documentation, as well as creating some of their own documentation.

You will be producing user journeys, page flows, increasingly complex wireframes and product maps, interaction design documentation and specification documents. It would be great if you had had exposure to working on products that had a lot of complex information feeding into the back end, but required beautifully simple, intuitive front end interactions and flows for the user.

Drop me a line if this is of interest.

Senior Information Architects – client FTSE Listed Content Owner – £450pday-London – J566

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Hello,

I have 5 increasingly rare, long term contract roles to brief you all on. They are for one of our largest, FTSE100 listed, content owning and aggregating media conglomerates, based 25 minutes train ride out of London (south west). They are ongoing, 6 month renewable contracts, and will pay up to £450pday for the right people. We are looking for strong, senior level Information Architects, but with a good, solid understanding of the wider UCD process.

This company has a well established and senior product and digital research team, so requirements and research documentation is all in place for projects. They also have a state of the art user testing laboratory, with a senior practitioner running the programs, so these roles are for pure UX designers, but who also have a good understanding of how that research documentation and testing data should feed intelligently into design.

These roles will be working across a number of the clients products, with the immediate requirements being an overhaul of the extensive online shop, from interactions to content layout to look and feel. Following this, other projects will come online, including revisions to areas of the .com presence, and a number of other transactional and functional revisions to consumer facing digital products.

You must be comfortable creating user journeys, site maps and wireframes, of increasing fidelity and complexity, working in an agile environment with the internal build teams, and iterating on your design work as results from testing and extended requirements feed into the project. This is an opportunity to work on some key consumer facing products for one of the countries most recognisable and well known media brands, used by millions of people every single day.

Drop me a line if these are of interest.

Hello,

Me and Be have a new freelance role to brief you on, to start ASAP (1 weeks notice is OK), but you must be able to get to South West London 5 days a week (final destination 25 minutes out of Clapham Junction on an overland train). The role will run for 1 month initially, but if it works from all sides, could be extended to up to 3 months and beyond.

This is a design focussed role (wireframes, sitemaps, prototypes and concepting), requirements are either in place or will be gathered by the lead UX on the projects. You must be comfortable taking part in workshops / focus groups, and presenting and defending your ideas in this format, but will not be expected to run them.

This is to work across various work streams, including main site revisions, ecommerce products, and marketing and micro-sites. You will be working through a globally renowned agency, for one of the countries largest and most profitable blue chip media conglomerates, and will have a variety of projects to get your teeth into (you won’t just be churning out identical wireframes indefinitely).

The role will pay between £400-450pday depending on experience and contextual fit. Please drop me or Be a line for more info.

Freelance Project Manager, J528, £240 per day, 3 months, London, Sector- Charity

Monday, July 26th, 2010

Hi there

Hope you’ve enjoyed the weekend. Here’s some brief info on two new freelance roles we’re working on for an expanding and super-busy charity in North London. Not the highest paying gig in London but just think of how good you’ll feel about ‘giving something back’!

 Partner project PM

Again, we’re looking for a good midweight to work alongside a lead PM on this key project for the charity’s brand partner website and digital asset system.

This contract would suit a digital PM with lots of stakeholder management and requirements gathering expertise – this is much more important than heavy technical knowledge as the role will revolve around planning the migration of partner content, managing expectations, and spacing up system and process solutions.

Commercial expertise is again important for this one, as is bags of stakeholder management.

  • The role is based on-site in North London and will pay commensurate with experience in the £200-240 per day bracket.
  • Start date asap for an initial period of 3 months.

Do let me know if either sound of interest to you or any friends who may be looking for a new contract – I’d be happy to add some more detail and flavour if you drop me a line. gill@wearefutureheads.co.uk

Thanks for your help!

Hope you’ve enjoyed the weekend. Here’s some brief info on two new freelance roles we’re working on for an expanding and super-busy charity in North London. Not the highest paying gig in London but just think of how good you’ll feel about ‘giving something back’!

Role 1 – ‘Business As Usual’ PM

This role is for a solid midweight PM (or upwards) to work across a wide variety of digital projects including intranet, digital marketing campaigns, site functionality enhancements, e-commerce enhancements, online community implementation and integration work around CRM and email systems. The Project Manager would be responsible for projects end to end  and will be tasked with ensuring delivery of projects on time and on budget.

Good project planning and stakeholder management skills are more important than strict methodologies or deep technical knowledge. It’s important that you have a background in commercial organisations as this is a very fast paced environment which requires a well honed ability to prioritise tasks based on commercial understanding.

  • The role is based on-site in North London and will pay commensurate with experience in the £200-240 per day bracket.
  • Start date asap for an initial period of 3 months.

Do let me know if either sound of interest to you or any friends who may be looking for a new contract – I’d be happy to add some more detail and flavour if you drop me a line. gill@wearefutureheads.co.uk

Hello,

I have a new perm role to brief you on, with one of our large, financial services clients in Canary Wharf.

For this role, they will look at a strong graduate from either HCi or HCs, with a strong portfolio, but will also flex to accommodate a midweight with some commercial exposure.

The context for this role is that the application is used by 80% of the worlds global investment banks, to enable traders and brokers to make quick business decisions based on the information outputted. The application has a large amount of complex information coming into the back end, and must have beautifully simple front end interactions, customisable to the user, quick and intuitive.

You must be commercially astute, articulate and bright, as you will be working as part of an ‘agile’ studio team, with rotation through different facets of the production process and across different projects. You will be impacting features such as social media integration, real time news, data visualisation and video across desktop, as well as fundamental page and application interaction principles. Coders, visual design and researchers are all in-house, so you will have exposure to the full end to end production process.

Drop me a line if of interest, including your details if we don’t have them.
