- Producing sketches, wireframes, prototypes and user journeys to inform the design of our digital products, based on user needs and business requirements.
- Performing web accessibility audits in line with WCAG standards and making recommendations to ensure that our digital output is accessible and usable to all.
- Supporting the Brand & Content team, Digital Delivery team and external agencies to ensure tasks and responsibilities allocated within projects are delivered accurately, meet user requirements, accessibility requirements and ensure the ongoing optimisation of our digital platforms.
- Working with the Digital Analytics team to review performance - analysing user behaviour and user journeys to make informed recommendations to improve the customer experience of our digital products.
- Support the Senior UX Manager in wider stakeholder projects, which may include both B2C and B2B digital products and campaigns, to ensure user journeys and landing pages are fully optimised.
- Promoting UX, accessibility and user focussed approach to design across VisitScotland teams and partners, both internally and externally.
