How usable are you?
Edinburgh (Glasgow until March/April 2008)
Competitive salary
You’re dyed in the web. A brain-warping IA is putty in your Visio. Prototypes and wires fire you up just as much as the finished site. Let’s be honest – even your dreams are WAI-compliant.
So there’s just one question we need to ask. In front of a client, just how usable are you?
What you’ll bring to the job
To work here, you’re going to spend an awful lot of time with an awful lot of big names. (Are RBS, JamJar Cars and Britannia Building Society large enough for you?)
And getting it right takes more that just a quick mind and passion for usability. It demands great observation and listening skills, a gift for clear communication and a belief that great client service should define everything we do.
You’ll also need to work quickly and intelligently – just as comfortable crunching through an intranet IA on your own, as creating a new banking interface with developers, copywriters and designers. Picky – aren’t we?
About you
This is the part where we ask for at least three years’ experience in a role similar to this one, but obviously not quite as fabulous.
You’ll need to bring experience of:
- Web interfaces reviews
- Running usability tests, interviews or card sorting sessions
- Wireframe or prototype design
- Information architecture
Why join us?
That’s easy. We involve users throughout the entire development process. So you’ll work on qualitative research and proposition development – not to mention wires so detailed they’re almost indistinguishable from the final design.
We’ll put you in front of one of the most advanced eyetracking setups around (ok – it’s on order, but it will be here soon). We’ll even give you a shot at new business development.
Or to put it another way, you won’t wade through usability test after usability test.
And since we’re a small company, there’s no chance of getting lost (or, for that matter, hiding) in the corporate structure.
