*Run effective workshops from initial planning and design through to client engagement, facilitation, and translating outputs into deliverables that enhance the UX of a project.
What you’ll need:
*Comprehensive understanding of the full UX lifecycle, including methodologies, tools, and techniques.
*Proficiency in a wide range of user research techniques and analysis, such as Contextual Inquiry, Ethnographic Research, Workshops, User Interviews, Empathy Maps, and validated learning.
*Experience working in agile environments using methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban.
*High proficiency with design tools, including Figma.
*Experience working with customers and users to gather requirements and translate them into effective design solutions.
*Appreciation for accessibility and awareness of WCAG standards.
*Ability to prototype at different fidelities and visualise ideas effectively.
What you’ll get:
*£65-70k salary depending on experience.
*Flexible working hours.
*Annual bonus.
*25 days holiday (Carry forward or cash them in if not used).
*5 days paid leave each year for learning and development.
*Pension, healthcare, accident cover etc.
Clearance Requirements: Due to the nature of this role, the successful candidate must be eligible for security clearance. To qualify, you must be a British Citizen and have lived permanently in the UK for the past 5 years.
