The role
The role of user experience consultant is split in to two areas – research and design. Your responsibilities will include:
• Researching the end-users of a digital product through a mixture of primary and secondary research
• Creation of research deliverables such as heuristic evaluations, competitor reviews and personas
• Deriving insight from this research and translating it in to design opportunities, interface considerations and new ideas for content and features
• Working within specialised client teams on-site at their offices, collaborating with complementary roles such as project managers, product owners, visual and graphic designers, business analysts and developers

About you
You’ll be an enthusiastic and hardworking personality – someone who wants to do the best work, be innovative and inspired all at the same time. Fundamentally, you’re a designer who looks at the world (and particularly digital products) with a questioning eye and wonders why they were made the way they were, and for what audiences. You may have just finished a multimedia, product design or computer science degree, and ideally will have a basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, Figma, Sketch and other technologies.
