Senior Interaction Designer

Hippo is recruiting for senior consultants in interaction design. Interaction designers ensure that people using a service can do what they need to do, when they need to do it, in a way that is easy for them. Working with user researchers, they identify what users need from a service and use that information to inform their design decisions. Champions of user-centred design, they work with other Agile team members to test and iterate designs, and advise clients on how to get the best from interaction design.

As a senior consultant in interaction design, you'll already be an expert in your field. You'll also be a leader of people and teams and advocate for user-centred design approaches. Hippo will provide exciting opportunities to share your expertise with, and influence, clients and team members, and to develop as a leader.

What you'll do

• Advise clients on how to solve complex problems using interaction design, people-centred design and Agile methodologies
• Lead multidisciplinary Agile teams to design services that meet identified user needs
• Advocate inclusive approaches and styles within interaction design
• Build supportive relationships with clients and stakeholders, yet challenge ideas and manage difficult conversations
• Line management of interaction designers and advise other colleagues on how to get the best from interaction design
• Support in recruitment, events, blog-writing and winning new business
• Promote Hippo's people-centred design offer both internally and externally
