Description

Zaizi is looking for a User Experience Designer to work in a delivery-focused, agile environment, working with government clients.

You'll be managing and mentoring other User Experience Designers and getting hands on to define and oversee the creation of prototypes and other user-centred design artefacts that will help to understand user motivations, context and behaviour, processes and services, around end-to-end user journeys.

At Zaizi, a User Experience Designer works across a number of multidisciplinary teams and is responsible for planning, defining and overseeing user-centred design activities.

You will work closely with analysts, designers, developers and testers to make sure their user-centred design outcomes are understood and inform continuing activities.

This role is remote for the foreseeable future with onsite client working where required and occasional travel to head office in London for workshops/meetings.

Our work culture is inclusive, modern, friendly, and democratic. We look for bright, positive-thinking individuals with a can-do attitude. Our people enjoy challenging themselves to be the best at what they do - if that sounds like you, you'll fit right in
