JOB TITLE: Interaction Designer

LOCATION(S): Halifax
SALARY: £57,546 - £63,940

HOURS: Full-Time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least

two days per week, or 40% of our time in the office. You'll need to be in the Halifax office at least one day a week, and we can consider Leeds or Manchester for the other day per week.

About this opportunity
We’re looking for someone who can work collaboratively alongside a full design team and take full ownership of their design output. They will be confident when presenting their work to stakeholders, and able to adapt designs to reflect their feedback and feedback from user research and usability testing.

As an Interaction Designer, it’ll be your role to:

  • Skilfully craft the end-to-end user experience, bringing together a cohesive journey step by step, creatively using components from a central design system to figure out the right balance of content and UI (User Interface) elements on screen

  • Bring designs to life with a choice of prototyping software, such as Sketch / InVision / Figma / Axure / Adobe XD

  • Balance business requirements with user needs – you'll be gathering user research and rationale to align stakeholders on individual user needs. You’ll know when to diplomatically push back, if necessary, to act on what’s right for the customer

  • Be adaptable to the technical constraints of different platforms yet still be able to give guidance on creating the best possible end user experience

  • Advocate customer inclusion – what it means to make an inclusive and accessible design to be used by customers of a wide range of ages, backgrounds and technical abilities

What you'll need

  • Demonstrable experience within User Experience design/Interaction Design

  • Strong experience as an Interaction Designer, UX Designer (or possibly from a Visual Design background)

  • Full ownership of the Interaction Design project

  • Excellent prototyping and layout skills which they can articulate clearly to internal customers and development teams

  • Comfortable using existing design systems, proactively recommending new ways to improve and extend them to benefit both the project and other designers

  • Ability to interpret quantitative and qualitative research, and how this informs the interaction design process. We have dedicated user research teams supporting designers on real data, providing a great wealth of customer insights.

  • Familiarity working in a complex landscape – ideally, you’ll have experience in financial services

  • A collaborative mindset to work closely and quickly with a multi-disciplinary team

  • Strong ability to see designs through to delivery – communicating with developers to ensure designs meet specifications and can be used by a broad range of users of all backgrounds, ages and abilities

  • Strong advocacy of customer inclusivity and accessibility

  • You'll be comfortable with ambiguity and use your initiative to dig into the problem

  • You'll be pragmatic tackling complex problems within ecosystems

  • Strong stakeholder management skills
