Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Skillsearch Full time

Our client is searching for a Senior UX Designer to join their remote team to support the continued development of their standalone, engine-agnostic system which is used for the rapid creation and in-game rendering of unique 3D characters.


In this role, you'll be responsible for ensuring their product is easy to use, discoverable, and high quality, as well as defining a clear user journey. You'll also be clearly articulating these ideas and liaising closely with the Technical Departments and other stakeholders to ensure the Product design is well specified and understood.


What you'll do:


  • Create concepts, usability testing, and gather feedback.
  • Create personas that accurately represent users and clients.
  • Develop wireframes and prototypes around our client's needs.
  • Communicate design ideas and prototypes with the tech team, and other stakeholders.
  • Identify risks and work with key stakeholders to ensure critical and high-risk items are prevented.
  • Define and run timely validation of designs to ensure deliverables meet the technical and quality requirements set.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for optimization and improvement of existing product features.
  • Be proactive, get help and ask questions where needed - don’t assume.


The ideal candidate will have the following skills:


  • Proven experience as a UX Designer / UI Designer, including a Portfolio of projects and products.
  • Proficient in design software (i.e. Figma, UXPin, etc.).
  • Problem-solving aptitude.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Fluent written and spoken English.


To apply for the role and be qualified to do so you'll require the following:


  • An up-to-date Portfolio, showing your talent in UI/UX and previous projects.
  • Ability to craft a narrative around the choices made with the proposed designs.
  • Experience in Unity and Unreal engines is a plus.
  • Experience working with 3D software and tools.
  • Knowledge of concepts and terminology related to 3D Characters, Video Games, Films, and similar areas.
  • Eligibility to work and live in the UK.


To apply for this inclusive and collaborative full-time, fully-remote Senior UX Designer position in the UK, please contact Wade from Skillsearch at wp@skillsearch.com today. We'd love to help you get your next role and enable you to fulfil your professional ambitions.
