3 weeks ago
**The role**
As an interaction designer, you'll be part of the user-centred design service. We're a growing team of content, interaction and UX designers, and user researchers. You'll work closely with your clients to up-skill them and share your expertise as a UCD consultant.
You'll be responsible for designing the user journey, interaction points, and UI elements that allow a user to interact with a service.
**What you'll do within our teams**
- Draw together the client’s business requirements, user needs and technical capabilities. Your goal is to develop a design solution that works well for users.
- Design digital services and products.
- Design solutions at the appropriate fidelity ranging from paper to interactive prototypes.
- Iterate designs based on insights from user research and data.
**You'll suit this role if you**:
- are already a user-centred interaction designer
- can demonstrate good practical knowledge of accessibility standards and responsive and adaptive design
- have an appreciation for the customer experience on channels beyond digital
- have experience or knowledge of HTML and CSS
- can clearly explain your design choices and persuade stakeholders of the importance of interaction design
- thrive in a multidisciplinary team seeking feedback, and sharing ideas and approaches
- understand agile processes
- enjoy working with clients as they evolve and adapt.
**To be successful you'll be**:
- naturally curious and able to champion your own learning and development
- an advocate for user-centred design
- respectful and tactful in your approach to clients who perhaps aren’t as familiar with user-centred design
- proactive and will take the initiative to solve a problem rather than seeing it and ignoring it
- keen to share your knowledge and experience.
**Bonus nice-to-haves**
- You’ve experience in another UCD specialism (user research, content design, service design).
- You’ve some front-end development skills that support building interactive prototypes in code.
- You’re familiar with working with developers.
- You’ve a strong understanding of GDS and designing to government service standards, preferably on projects that passed assessment(s).
**Salary**
Based upon individual skill/experience level, and where this aligns against our competency framework:
- Consultant: £41,000 - £60,00
- Senior consultant: £61,000 - £75,000
- Lead consultant: £76,000 - £85,000
**About Opencast**
Opencast is an ambitious, successful, and growing technology consultancy. We pride ourselves in the qualities of our people. We're inclusive, creative, and collaborative.
It's an exciting time to join us on our journey as we grow and expand our services to help our clients tackle bigger, more complex challenges. We plan to treble the size of our team by 2025 — but we’re determined not to lose our unique culture.
**What makes Opencast right for you?**
You don’t have to tick every box to join us. We’re looking for those brave enough to ask the right questions and do the right thing. We value and empower our people, doing right by each other. We work flexibly and keep hierarchy to a minimum.
**Inclusion at Opencast**
Opencast is an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone thrives. We don’t discriminate based on age, disability, ethnicity, family status, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
If you’d like to be part of a team where your voice is heard and your involvement matters, please join us. We’re a better company because you’re with us.
**Where you’ll work**
At Opencast we trust our people to make the right decisions. You may work remotely from home or, depending on your project, you may be required to occasionally work at a client site or your nearest Opencast office.
**Interview process**
Interviews take place over Microsoft Teams. If that doesn’t work for you, we’ll do everything we can to support and make any necessary adjustments. We want to ensure everyone has the best possible interview experience.
**Applicants from overseas**
We accept applicants from overseas but once you’re appointed you need to work in the UK.
