Description

About The Role
Hippo Digital 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.

Line management of interaction designers and advise other colleagues on how to get the best from interaction design
Support in recruitment, events, blogwriting and winning new business
Promote Hippo's peoplecentred design offer both internally and externally

Skills and experience that you need

Experience of working in multidisciplinary Agile teams to design and deliver peoplecentred services
Experience of designing for diverse users, including those with accessibility or assisted digital needs
Proven experience of championing interaction and service design approaches
Experience of line management or mentoring/training other interaction designers
Advanced communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to manage conflict and convey difficult messages with tact and sensitivity
A good understanding of other Agile roles across design, product and tech
Strong consultancy and leadership skills, and confidence in exploring problem spaces with clients to determine the most appropriate way forward
