What will you do?

As a senior specialist, you probably already know what routine your job implies. But if you are feeling geeky and want the details, then here’s what you’ll do:

Gather data, analyze, consult. Asking the right questions, understanding the true reasons that lie behind the problem, facilitate workshops, conduct user research. 

Take part in pre-sales. Apart from the mere creation of budget & timing estimation, this is your first contact with a potential client. It is when you can demonstrate that you understand their problem, know how to solve it, and are capable to do so. As a result, you may get to be the one who solves yet another interesting puzzle.

Produce UX artifacts. Shape your knowledge into materials that will underpin your solutions in front of the client and the project team. This could be screen maps, personas, customer journey maps, wireframes and everything which you believe is relevant and needed.

Collaborate. We appreciate sharing thoughts, concerns, feedback, and advice because it polishes our solutions. Whether it is a regular demo call with the client, a casual brainstorm with fellow designers or research with the developer - use it to make your product consistent and technically realistic.

Take ownership. Feeling and acting as if you are the co-owner of the project is what makes all the difference. Go ahead and take the initiative, the responsibility, go further than the surface, - and share the success of the product.

Optimize processes. In our workflow between the design and the development team, we follow the agile process. Have ideas on how to improve it? Great! Go ahead, move things around if you know that it is bound to benefit both sides and bring maximum effect.

Mentor, inspire. You’ll have the advantage of inspiring your team, sharing your experience and mentoring junior consultants in their skills and projects.

Stay curious and hungry. It is crucial that you stay abreast of trends in design, technology, and user experience. Share what you know and make an impact.


Key points we expect from you:

A solid set of skills and hands-on experience in UX, with a deep understanding of methodologies and processes. 4+ years is what we have in mind. 
Experience working in cross-disciplinary teams. 
Effective spoken and written English - you should be able to elicit project details, run workshops and clearly articulate your design decisions. 
Experience with analytics tools and user research is a plus.


What’s in it for you?

The projects are varied, which gives you a lot of new experiences and challenges. 
Opportunity to travel abroad and work with a client and end-users directly.
Control of the way your design solutions are implemented thanks to close collaboration with the development team.  
Take part in shaping our work processes and the growing design team.

Participate in our regular knowledge-sharing events, training sessions, and inside-the-team design review meetings.
Various career opportunities based on your personal intentions.
